School Reviews

2   2/22/2010
Normally i would say that this school is a good school to get an educational experience, but recently my son was forced into an outpatient program for the "Addiction/Abuse" of certain items. The school did not have any proof however, and now I am waiting for more facts so I go before the school board. There Principle and Assistant Principle are very blunt in discipline. They dont think logically and they try to intervene too much with the students social lives. Ive spent over $320 to help my daughter graduate, and now she cant unless she goes through a program that is not needed for her. I do not recomend this school to anyone who wants there child to live there own life. a. fair b. Very good programs, they have choir, band , marching band, and a variety of electives dealing with the musical arts. c. n/a d. n/a e. differing from the kids there is and isnt alot of parent involvment, but this is common everywhere.

As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
