[quote=Anonymous]We have had children in Congressional for years. We were initially very pleased, but problems have arisen in the older grades including cheating, cyberbullying and disruptive students. The goal is now 22-24 students per class section per grade, which is higher than years past where full capacity was considered 18 per class section. There is a very weak English program with continuous teacher turnover.  There is also very little supervision on the large campus leading to ongoing problems at recess, the extended hours program, and at summer camp. There was an allegation about sex abuse at summer camp and some parents are afraid that the administration is more interested in avoiding bad press than fixing long standing problems. The administration does not discipline and hold parents and students accountable for bad behavior and does not back up teachers having problems controlling their classes.  It also does not share information about school/grade-level overall performance on standardized tests. Long-time families have left because of bullying and we will be leaving the next academic year too.  We are sad about how the place has changed. [/quote]
