I graduated in 72 and it seems like it was a totally different century from today... The makeup of the student body, the quality of the education.

When my child was in elementary school (now in middle school), I thought it was a great school. I have not been pleased the past 2 years with the elementary school administrators and some of the teachers. The middle school and Intermediate school seem well so far. It's becoming a big school, lots of diversity for children to engage with others. I feel the only down fall is-they do not appear to support outside agencies to come into the school to support students. They claim their staff is well trained.... maybe they are however teachers have a different degree than a Behavioral Specialist or Counselor.
