(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The principal, Robert Barth, is excellent. I can't say enough good things about him. He genuinely cares about the children, their education, and their welfare. 99% of the teachers there are the same way. There are some - very few, granted, but some - who are inconsistent with enforcing rules, doling out punishments, and so forth. If everyone was consistent with every student - regardless of race or background - this school would be excellent.
