The school has very poor communication with parents and students. That's been my experience! Every year I check on my child's school performance by talking to my child teachers about weakness. Every year they tell me my child is smart and bright and passing, but during report card time he receives F grades. Every year, the teachers make mistakes on my child grades. It's horrible and I'm fed up!
