That is one thing they need to work on. Pairing up students at the beginning of the year having assigned lunch tables can curb bad behavior and bring up students grades

Need to have three separate recesses one in the gym for the chronic offenders to play on a team during lunch time one for the smart kids to go to the library and the popular kids to have some group project for recess

No they will not help a child be mainstreamed and they give too much baby work in special ed classes

The school is great. It offers more amenities than West Jr. High and the student population has less discipline issues. The media center is fairly nice and the school is progressive with technology. The opportunity for a great education is there. I would say the reason the report card scores average is due to the disadvantaged families and poor support at home.

I personally go to this school and wouldn't change my experience for the world. It's very friendly and you never run out of things to do. The teachers try their best and overall are very respectful and understanding. I did have a problem with the staff around December this year, but it was quickly corrected and the Dean of students personally came up to me and appologized; she did the same with two other of my classmates.
