This school used to be amazing. Ever since the current principal started (in March of 2023), the entire school culture has changed for the negative. There are wonderful teachers at this school, but they are limited in regard to the support they can provide because of how this principal is running the school. He has no ability to use common sense when making decisions, does not take disabilities and developmental stages and behaviors into account when applying discipline practices, purpose isolates the parents from each other and operates under a cloud of secrecy and isolation when dealing with incidents.Last school year (2023-2024), he called the police on MULTIPLE kids 1st grade or younger for MINOR developmentally related incidents which resulted in the POLICE talking to our kids without our presence or consent. Most of these kids have disabilities such as Autism or ADHD and were mostly (if not all) Latino boys. When called out for this behavior by parents, he CALLED THE POLICE ON THE PARENTS!!! He is a machine for LAUSD and has no ability to think critically about any situation. The culture at this school has diminished greatly, the teachers look scared to share any concerns or opinions. They quite literally seem like they're being silenced. These teachers and staff are amazing, but cannot thrive under this leadership. I am now considering pulling my kids out of this school because of this principal, despite there being wonderful teachers, special education staff and school psychologist. His practices do not allow for a positive school environment. Under his "leadership", it's no wonder that this schools rating has dropped down to a 2.
