Honestly the school (magnet program) could do better because the teachers are purposely trying to fail students. I've had my student record a day in class and I've seen teachers refuse work from other students then their parents calling and asking if my student was refused work. The teachers are also terrible at communication. If I email a teacher it could take almost 3 weeks to respond. Overall I think the magnet program could to better.
