School Reviews

5   1/29/2008
Let me begin by stating I think this is the best available elementary school in our zip-code. Given that statement I still question the integrity of certain faculty at this school. Fact one we were told our child was qualified for the gifted program but we needed to vote yes on a tax that would increase tax so teachers could make more money and more would be available for the program the tax passed but our child was denied. Now I was told my child a straight A student failed a test because the teacher did not like the way he makes his O"s is"nt this stalinistic. Everyone has their own style of writing and the o"s are acceptable to us please understand our child did"nt fail because the spelling was incorrect only because the O"s were not like the teachers!
