Wainwright School
Ryan Smith: Disappointed...Sad.. The students attending this school are falling behind their peers. This school needs more than parent involvement; materials are scarce, funding is in question, and the staff seem beaten-down. The board of education needs to open their eyes to this school a lot of young talent is falling through the cracks.
My Son and daughter attended this school for three weeks in spring 2011.
The staff are polite and may be doing what they are instructed to do, but it shouldnt be at the child's expense. I believe it is poor management. (complacency)
