The school is Farquhar.
I’m a Farquhar parent and I feel neutral about Rivas-Smith. Maybe I just don’t know enough about what she’s done?

This, many love our principal. I find them unhelpful and non-responsive. They never return emails are willing to step in with a serious concern or need. I don't find the school well run at all.
