Erle Stanley Gardner Middle School

Our family moved here from the midwest. The teachers out here just do not seem to care about the kids. Our child had a math teacher this year that is gone EVERY FRIDAY. When the sub comes in, basically nothing is taught that day.

We are seriously looking at other options.
