School Reviews

I would not send a dog there due to the Administrator Mr. Chris Burton. He was hired from Whiteville Schools due to some issues with neglecting to give a student medical attention. If you Google this and fact check it''s in their newspaper and the parent's affidavit addressing the legal issues all made public(2016). As a parent, I am very concerned due to my child having severe medical issues. There is also a problem with discipline and to my understanding in the parent handbook, which is online, there is a school-wide behavior plan in place which is not followed or Mr. Burton refuses to implement with the teaching staff. He also has displayed behaviors that I as a parent I have witnessed that devastated me that private school was my next choice. Parent due to your research!!!!! HE IS A BULLY and has no common sense he definitely is not capable of dealing with the daily issues of children and it appears he is there for the paycheck and time credit for retirement. NOT LEARNING. NOT STUDENTS. It''s so easy to pass the problem to someone else so they can be the crash dummy. He really appears to be a Gym teacher who stands and looks hoping that a ball doesn''t hit him while asking What is of lunch today?Maybe someone above him will do something about this and check into the teacher turnover which seems to be the best indicator. Maybe not.
