Our experience at Elk Ridge Elementary School was academically adequate, but deeply challenging from a social and emotional perspective.We raised concerns early about ongoing patterns of social exclusion and bullying affecting our child. Unfortunately, these concerns were initially minimized and framed as typical peer conflicts, which delayed meaningful intervention. As a result, the situation persisted longer than it should have and had a significant impact on our child’s sense of safety and well-being.We also experienced resistance when requesting formal documentation and acknowledgment of the situation, which placed an ongoing emotional and administrative burden on our family. Rather than feeling supported as partners, we often felt that we had to repeatedly advocate for issues that required clearer adult responsibility and earlier action.While the school promotes values of inclusion and family engagement, our experience showed a gap between those values and how complex social-emotional situations are handled in practice. Stronger, earlier intervention in bullying situations, clearer boundaries, and more consistent communication with families would make a meaningful difference.We hope this feedback supports reflection and improvement for future students and families.

I feel what gets me the most is the racism students struggle with. And it’s so hard going to school and something that makes me so I don’t feel I want to go to school, either kids are homophobic or just pure racist and don’t understand real problems today but teachers are very loving and some tend to talk for a long time and have strict deadlines but amazing food and teaching yup!

loud Unruly kids Teachers sit on there butts and don't believe in teaching the children.
