I would like to begin by thanking the principal Mrs. Mijac for turning this school around with her strong leadership skills. We just let a nasty group of women otherwise known as our PTO chase away the best thing that has happened to our school. If you compare test scores over the past 7 years you will see that it is this principal that made this change. I am warning all of you parents to seriously look at the PTO and how much influence that it has in our school. Before you know it they will have input on teacher salaries. I will pull my child after 7 years in this school because the only direction that this school can go in is down. I would personally like to thank the PTO for jeopardizing our childrens academic future. What is worse is the school district has allowed it!
