[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that the discussion here centers around the building when I feel like the teachers/ administration should be more to blame.  Surely a great principal supported by great teachers and a strong PTA can over come any building?

We have two close friends whose kids attended SSIMS and later had serious drug problems, which parents believe was linked to a friends (student) suicide at SSIMS in 2020.  I am not saying the building is linked to the suicide.  It does seem the school/ staff is not equipped to take care of the kids!

My friend (kid with issues who attended SSIMS) told me recently “whatever you do don’t ever send your kids to SSIMS”.  This really freaked us out.  In the present market we can’t afford to move so are looking for private options!

It’s so sad - this is an expensive area to live in with highly educated neighbors and lots of resources.  Surely decent schools are something people can expect!

It strikes me as extraordinarily unfair to blame staff for a suicide that happened a) at the beginning of a global pandemic
b) while kids were being taught remotely
