Cross Cultures Learning Center

Allenwood has great teachers who care about the students. I notice an increase in parent centered activities including the book fair, Read Across America night, parent university, field day, parent and community appreciation breakfast and other events. Students in grades K-2 have increased their reading scores on the DRA dramatically thanks to the hard work of the teachers, staff and parents.

Excellent school with lots of great teachers

My child has been going this this school for 2 years now. Although the teachers are good/great, the leadership leaves a lot to be desired. The school has class dojo (an app utilized to communicate with teachers and for the administration to communicate to parents). Even with this technology the school does a very poor job communicating information like award ceremonies, concerts or any other special program happening at the school. There is no notice that comes home or communicated on class dojo. But, if there is something going on like movie night, a dance, anything that is profitable there is a notice sent home as well as multiple reminders on class dojo. I have asked questions about the lack of communication and have not gotten a good response. I consider myself an involved parent and I ask questions to gain clarity because I am not in the education field however, the administration has not met me half way. There was a lock down at the school with police on the premises and parents called to inquire and was rushed off the phone and hung up on. Parents were asking questions on class dojo and were told that it was a drill which was a complete lie. I do not trust this school's administration with my child's safety nor education. My child came to me and asked to go to another school. I have never discussed my concerns about the school with my child. This was a request made without my influence. Please make another choice for your child/children
