Amazing students and staff, but TERRIBLE handling of behavior issues

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nurse Fran is amazing. 90% of the students are wonderful and kind and truly there to do better, be better, and get their education.

Cons

Students who attack others get to walk around with staff like nothing happened. The new guidance counselor is too busy trying to flirt with the head of tss The new guidance counselor is buying food for kids who attack others and sees no issues with it. Certain teachers do NOT do anything and all they do is cry and whine.
