School Reviews
| 2 If I could rate this school negative stars I would. The whole school needs to be reevaluated.... The principal doesn't seem to care about anything. When she is actually in the school, she refuses to meet with parents, dismisses students like they are bothersome, and even refuses to have a PTA. I am not sure that the front office staff knows how to smile or be anything other than rude. Since we have started at this school, I have seen more staff leave than I can count....we are talking over 10 in one school year alone!
My children are getting a sub-par education, and they refuse to help those that are excelling. Only hold them back.
If I could I would send my children else where. Since that is currently not an option we are thinking of homeschooling until we are able to move at the end of this school year.
I really hope the district and the staff members at Jackson read this and make changes, sadly I doubt that will happen. - Posted by Parent - barri |
