Only a few good teachers, the teachers care more about their personal lives and matters more than furthering education for the students and being there to teach them. River View high school doesn't have much violence, thanks to some teachers that keep the atmosphere friendly. The schools are so small that everyone is almost like family.
Be watchful of teachers using their authority for childish reasons. The Iaeger Elem had great teachers that worked with my child to be the best, against the BOE. The BOE did very little to help my child, We pushes really hard to get my child the appropriate help with her dyslexia.
A problem with all three schools, you can rarely get a phone call through because it’s busy. Schedule for activities changes often. Our family has schedules that vary due to work . We try to prepare our schedules with planned school activities. The activity’s schedule changes many times for different reasons forcing working parents to miss.
Children should be treated fairly. Do not discount a child because it complains less, because the parent isn’t in your face. The parent or the child shouldn’t have to be. I do like that political views are rarely pushed onto my children at these schools.

It can be good sometimes. Some of the teachers are nice, and they do a good job teaching the students. There are good and bad things about the school systems.
