School Reviews
| 2 Your child's success at this school is completely on your shoulders. A counselor are not motivated, never available, & never guide the student. Counselors & Teachers dismiss students when they try to get assistance. As a parent, you will have to make several calls/emails to get any issues resolved. Students are left on their own to discover scholarships, navigate the SAT, or college application assistance. I''ve had two children go through Eustis High School, it has become worse over time. My child is completely on their own, they are lucky I was able to assist them. Most parents don't have the understanding/resources to help their child. I am disappointed in this school, they need to start treating students like customers, & stop dismissing them as if they are a bother. Administrators purposely omit & hide their email or contact information. This is due to the frustration of parents trying to get things done. When a counselor or teacher doesn't resolve an issue, parents get frustrated & want to communicate with the administrators for assistance. The Principle has stopped that. This high school needs a completely new focus. It's time for them to stop just collecting a paycheck. - Posted by Parent - Frustrated |
