From the bus pick up to drop off, the whole experience with Canongate is great, the engagement from the staff and teachers are on point. From grade to grade they are consistent with how to communicate with the parents, and it makes it easy with how to work with the kids at home. These teachers and administrators care.

As a former teacher at Arnall, I witnessed things that are extremely disturbing. Teachers in 7th grade have their own adult "clique" and if you're not "with them" you're against hem in their eyes. I was obviously not part of that clique because I witnessed them being so mean and just downright hateful to more passive teachers. The teachers would talk about students in the most derogatory ways behind closed doors. When I brought this up to the principal (P. Sullivan). He suggested we have a meeting as a 7th grade team to discuss our differences---did he bother to even join this meeting and hear out his teachers' concerns. No. The issues never ended and I left. If you are a teacher looking to teamwork mentality and strong leadership, stay away from Arnall. Teachers do not thrive at this school. Also, once the Principal said we needed to stop writing office referrals for minority groups because their home-life was culturally different so we should be more tolerant of the disrespectful behavior. See, here is the tithing, when a minority student falls behind academically or is written up it affects the school's CCRPI and Sullivan only cares about how his school is "outwardly viewed."

I left the school of my dreams to come here. There is less than 100 black students. It’s very racially divided. The teachers have favorites most of the time and single out the minorities. They move at a very fast pace with curriculum.
