  • This being only 1 of the 2 middle schools in the city. There is a lot to be desired. From fire drill dismissals (with students told to leave with no coats during cold weather) to the new curriculum. You would never know what to expect. Yes, I have met my child outside with an extra coat during dismissals in case it has happened again. So far it has happened many times. Students are not let back in to collect their coats and many have a long walk home. Let's face it, with these budget cuts, where are our kids safe?
