Not impressed. Stepchild is enrolled with this school and when my spouse and I started to have the child full-time, requiring us to help with school, we found out that the child's other parent was not doing anything that was expected of them to help the child succeed. The parent was not even checking to make sure the child was doing all the work and when we started to ask questions; we were met with denied access and no longer having the child full-time. I am shocked and disappointed that the school has allowed and is not aware that the child is not completing the work and/or the parent is doing the tests to help the child pass if the child has failed them previously and this is the Elementary school.
