    "Ummmmmm no. Parents should be involved to an extent....at home. They should make sure their child is completing assignments and studying. BUT you should not run the school. School officials should have the power. The big problem we have with US schools is the fact that there is no discipline in the classroom. We are babying and smothering these kids....and a lot of that has to do with parent involvement in the school with regards to power. Yes parents should be on the school board and PTA...they should have a say where funds go I agree with that....but as far as running the school?? Let's not confuse who has the real power here and that is with the administration. It's a shame to see how powerless the teacher has come in the classroom because of fear of the parent. Homeschool your kid then and you will have all the power."

    "I believe school should not be rated on how good food or services they give..unless u r being treated like a street dog.... I go to this school and strongly believe this is a great school......students of this school are ignorant.....they just want to pass and nothing else...teachers work very hard but all in vain because of lazy kids..all far as teams are concerned ... they have started Robotics team...a great team to be in...many other sports team...from wat i have heard, we dont have football team because of less resources....those ignorant and lazy kids don't do well in school...their parents don't care ; they mess up their regents and school reputation...because of few bad people whole school suffers as they don't get funding..."

    "This is a good school the teacher interact with you and if you need extra help youll get it. The only things that are wrong with the school is we don't get to add or change classes. Also the school has no football team. I herd they might get one but like in 2011, which is when i leave the school and go to college."
