[quote=Anonymous]HES parent here. I don't think it has anything to do with substitutes. I think that Principal Burton, who left over the summer, was very well loved and fit in very well with parents, staff and administration. She made you feel you were being heard, even if the results were not exactly as you'd like them. Principal Bey, the new principal is in the unfortunate position of trying to fill her shoes. She also had to bring in many of the new rule changes- which most parents were not happy about. That's the change in feeling overall. For me personally, I have expressed my concerns and they were well received. What really needs to occur is an improvement in test scores and academic achievement. Even Burton did not make any great strides with that. And as contentious as it may be, great schools only ranks the school at a 3. When I moved to the area 7 years ago it was a 2. The school couldn't have made greater improvements over seven years??? My child's first grade teacher has been excellent. And there's many amazing teachers and caring parents there. But overall until scores and achievement levels are improved, it's going to be tough. [/quote]
