teachers are horrible at communicating with students and helping them understand, took my child's ear defenders off her because they said they were headphones, suspended her and never called me to let me know, don't help with when they are struggling with their anger.

"Good but some improvements needed"
We've had a good experience at Seaton Valley High School so far, but there are a few areas that need improving. The staff are generally very good, but communication with parents could be better. We're hoping to see some changes in the new year.
