it is a pretty good school but, some f the teachers are mean and there are A LOT of fights

There is a lot of bullying at the school, both by students and by administrators. The principal just seems confused and ineffective. She does not follow district policies and lies to higher level administrators about what she is allowing to happen at the school. There is also a really mean assistant principal that ignores bullying by students she favors and harasses students over dress codes she claims exist but actually are nowhere to be found in the handbook. These are very young children. None are dressed inappropriately but this admin seems to have a very active imagination. It’s kind of creepy gross. Admin here will jump to suspension instead of speaking to parents and kids and going through the steps outlined in the handbook. They expect adult behavior from tiny kids and are mean mean mean.Parent concerns are completely ignored. Is your kid being sexually harassed or bullied? No one cares here. School is run like a military camp. Talk at breakfast? They will throw it out. Touch a wall while walking down a hall, that’s a write up. Have a disability? Teachers and front office staff will openly and loudly make fun of you with zero repercussions. Have a personal matter? Your child’s record will be loudly shouted out to you in the front office for all to hear. Their longest serving front office staff has a snide remark for everything. Need to take your kid out early for an Dr appointment? She’ll have something to say about the timing. Want to pick your kid up early due to local flooding? She’ll make it clear to everyone in the front office how ridiculous you are. She has her ears perked and listens to jump into your business. It’s best to just never go to the office if you can help it.Kids that have left the school refer to it as the prison. They talk about their awful experiences there and nervously laugh as they share their horror stories and discuss their trauma. The school is notorious in the middle and high school. Kids don’t look back fondly on their elementary years. If you have a kid with special needs, boy are you in for the fight of your life. This school wil fight tooth and nail not to provide services and once services are granted, they will lie to you and you will find out services were faked in writing and never happened in real life.The truth is, parents that have lived here long enough to know this school’s reputation opt to send their kids somewhere else if they can. But if your kid is tough and a charmer…they might be ok.

W school awesome people awesome teachers way better then eastside
