School Reviews
1 4/20/2021
Worst school to send a child. There is a huge issue with racism and bullying. Teachers are more immature than students are and like to instigate the students with bullying. There is never a school resource officer on campus and there are fights that cause injury to students and staff. This is not a safe school for students to attend. They cannot even figure out how to fix water issues to allow students to have working restrooms and water fountains to use. Covid regulations are limited. Even teachers don't wear masks anymore. Do your child a favor and just send them to the school they are zoned for. Putnam academy is all about making money off your child and that is about it.
