This school is very poorly organized. The only time they follow their own policy is when then are disciplining a student, which they seem to enjoy doing. You never receive return phone calls. They should be made to read and sign their own paperwork regarding policies and procedures and submit copies to the parents.

My son is a sophomore at Penn Wood, in September a number of teachers quit. In one year, one teacher lost his test, another teacher calculated his report card grade incorrectly, he does not know the principle. One teacher even advised that if this were her son she would transfer him out. This school is very mismanaged.
