When people say the school is o.k. that scares me.

I am not impressed with admin.  This will come out snobby but I feel they do not want to deal with educated middle class parents. They are much happier with low income immigrants who will not ask questions or make demands for rigor and professionalism. The letters that are sent home actually demonstrate poor writing skills. Yes, I know this is petty but if they were at a private school they would triple check any communication before it was sent. I find it insulting and scary that a school leader would have such sloppy writing. They do not reply to communication in a professional/prompt manner. No one ever seems to know what is going on. I can talk to four different people about something and they all tell me something different. It is just a general vibe I get from the place.

There is more but I don't want to identify people because that is not fair to them. I feel comfortable in saying the above about admin because if they want to put themselves in that position they need to be open to criticism.

In general, I am not happy. I feel like there are a few select Mt. Pleasant parents who try to convince themselves and everyone else that it is a good school. Most likely because their housing values are dependent upon it. The test scores are horrible. I am very sad that this school isn't working out.

I just wanted to hear other opinions. I have hope that maybe I am just being too critical and reading too much into things. I want to hear someone tell me to relax and that it is a good school at least. Not just o.k. However, I feel like my gut feeling is correct.

Sorry, I just have very high standards for any school. [/quote]
