Good Morning I am writing this letter hoping that it reaches someone tha is really concerned about the way the Newark Campus is being ran.I have a child that is attending the newark campus she has the highest grade level in the school and because of that she is being miss treated.I really dont think that the teachers their expected her or any one else for that matter to succeed. Teachers and top administration they all are very very unprofessional someone needs to really look into the way that school is being ran.
