School Reviews

My daughter went to this school in 6th grade. It seemed like a good school. Skip ahead a few years, my son is now there and I would do anything to get him out. He is treated like a number, not an individual child. It is very sad. I have seen no enthusiasm or loved for children or education at all in this school this year. If you are tired of doing this or don't love it, you shouldn't be doing it.

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.
