My son has a speech day and is only in kindergarten. His teacher's are annoyed that I'm very involved with our son. I only communicate with them via email, to make it easier for them but they still are rude when repling. After meeting the principal for an IEP meeting that I requested, she was rude also. He will definately be changing schools if this doesn't improve.

Title one school. Extreme behavior issues with little parental support. More time spent on discipline than teaching. On a positive note, recently merged with Cotswold Elementary School. A more diverse student and teacher body now. Only serves grades K to 2nd. Extra programs added, like Art appreciation and Spanish. Still receiving low student achievement scores in core curriculum at this time.
