This school is not a good fit for our family. My children are all good kids but it seems like learning is hindered by other kids who appear to not have any structure/consequences at home. As a result of this, a lot of the teachers (and my kids have had 14 between them with switching teachers for every subject) are overly strict/authoritarian. This school is big in “children should be seen and not heard” so that kids can only be at what is called a level 0 for volume the majority of the time. The principal walks the halls with a paddle. With the vast amount of research that shows that spanking/corporal punishment is not an effective means to correcting behavior, this feels more like a deliberate attempt to scare children into good behavior. You have to write a letter at the beginning of the year to say you are against your child getting paddled. If they do something that they consider warranting of the paddle, they do call you first to get verbal permission which you do not have to give but the fact that it is even an option and the go to for misbehavior is deeply, deeply concerning. I have also never heard the tone and voice level used by some of the teachers here when talking to kids ever in the 10 years my kids have been going to public school. It truly does feel demeaning the way some of the teachers talk to students. For kids where school is their safe space, this is very disheartening to hear. There are some great teachers at this school that do feel invested in the kids and their learning but overall this school is not a good fit for us. The teacher turnover is also obscene. One of my children had a new to the school or first year teacher every year they attended here. Overall, not a place I would recommend to anyone moving to the Enterprise are.
