Actively getting better, test scores are rising. Multiple if not all students passed the biology EOC for the year 2023

The school communications is very poor. If I was a parent who able to home school I would.

As people say in other reviews on how good this school is, honestly, is false. The bullying as affected me, as well as another students. Students will mock others and will get barely any consequence for their actions. Personally, on my first week there for 5th grade, I got slapped. The kid got only a 1 day suspension, which disappointed me. The learning is not so well too, with the class learning 3rd grade science standards in 5th grade. In plus, most students are failing all their classes due to bad behavior. Most of the students are not listening to teachers and make the learning environment unsafe with fighting physically and verbally. Usually, during field trips, Southwest Elementary is known for their bad behavior. Even when getting told multiple times to stop talking so the teacher can speak, students still don't listen. Bullying is rare but teasing is common, and can lead to arguments that cause ALOT of drama. Fights are talked about a lot in Southwest elementary, with fights sometimes happening too. Principals have to get involved when the teacher can't take it anymore. I've had multiple teachers yell at the class to stop talking but they just can't, so the teacher is left defeated and drained. I feel bad for these teachers. The bus experience is not so well too. With fights happening often on the bus. Sometimes students yell bad words and throw food around, which makes the bus driver to turn around back to the school. This happened around 3-5 times to me, and makes me rush since I have tutoring after-school. The Gifted program is pretty good, with projects that challenge students with their creativity. Overall, the school is not so good but I have made many friends, with some people more friendlier then from my old school, and with a lot of amazing teachers. But this school is not the best to go to if you want your child to have a good education.
