Would not recommend this school. Ratings have been dropping the last few years

It’s only been one week since my kid started school, and we've already been hit with six donation requests. Six! Practically every other day, there’s a new paper, email, or text message begging for money—fundraisers, raffles for VIP passes, constant pressure to buy shirts, shorts, socks, car decals—you name it. It’s non-stop.Now you're even sending out “teacher favorites” lists with suggestions for Starbucks and Target gift cards? Seriously? Not even a mention of Walmart—because I guess being low-income doesn’t fit the vibe?This is a public school. Supposed to be free. But all we see is relentless begging and guilt-tripping for money from families who are already struggling to get by. If we had the money, we’d send our kids to private school. We don’t. That’s why they’re here. So why are you constantly trying to squeeze every last penny from us?Parents are stretched thin. We're tired. This level of pressure is inappropriate, and frankly, it’s starting to feel shameless. Enough already.
