Solano Middle School

This school is one of the worst schools I've been associated with. Ive wrote complaints that followed the District complaint procedures to the Vallejo Unified School district with either no responce or talk of policy of which the School and District doesn't follow. They only find a way to suspend your child and not to help your child.
DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS DISTRICT IF YOU CAN HELP IT.
I REPEAT DO NOT SENT YOUR CHILD TO THIS DISTRICT.
