Aveson School of Leaders
Too many good intentions, but with no accountability. Criticism is ignored, probably in the hope that the problems will disappear. Possibly the issue is not enough staff to respond to complaints. Constant requests for parent help - even to the point of asking parents to supervise at lunch times. They have done very poorly in getting help from the local community, with the result that the PUSD has called public meetings on the problem. There are one or two excellent teachers, but that's true for any school.
