3 sample parent reviews of SAMPLE SCHOOL (5 stars is the highest rating possible)
(January 2004)
"Yes, there is room for improvement at SAMPLE SCHOOL, starting with a need for inspiration beyond the state tests. Extra-curricular activities that inspire and energize the student body would be welcome, and simply: Follow Through on good ideas. We have lost our way, partly due to scandals and distractions, and need to get past that. We are also, as are all schools, having to adjust to standards which measure our kids according only to specific skills, often disregarding special talents or needs. However, the numbers do count in this public school system, and ours are good. The teachers at SAMPLE SCHOOL are also, within their classrooms and one-on-one with parents, second-to-none. It is their determination to remain creative amidst pressure that most inspires me as a parent. I know we can do a better job at SAMPLE SCHOOL. I just hope we stop pointing fingers aimlessly, and come up with a few real plans of action."

"Students do not come first at SAMPLE SCHOOL. There are very little extra-curricular activities and this once excellent school is now plagued by nepotism, cronyism and an unsupportive and incompetent principal. There is very little discipline and security concerns. Students are better served at nearby schools."

"SAMPLE SCHOOL was once an excellent school until the current principal came to destroy the positive learning environment. It is a shame that parents are misled and blinded by the A rating. Unfortunately, students need so much more to be successful. SAMPLE SCHOOL is in dire need of a nurturing, proactive principal that places more emphasis on the students' and teachers' needs. Many great teachers and a wonderful band director have now left as well as many knowledgeable assistant principals. SAMPLE SCHOOL is now left with no real leadership. Parents beware and wake up, your children will not be adequately and correctly served in this once excellent school."
