Alta Sierra Intermediate School

Joanna Spain: Unfortunately, I have had a very negative experience with Alta Sierra Intermediate (ASI). Both of my daughters have attended ASI and both of them have been harassed and bullied by peers. After repeated complaints, the school continued to do nothing to protect my children. They do not demonstrate the capability to protect my child while in their care and I am very disillusioned.
