This is a tough review to write but it’s clear as day. There is very little to no diversity within the eductators and faculty here. I live in Carlsbad and I walk around in diversity everyday. So for me to not see any of it in a elementary school is a bit scary. I learned that these are the things that we have to speak up on as it’s not teaching our children the correct reflection of every day people. This school goes completely against the meaning of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. To make matters worse, without diversity and inclusion you have teachers and faculty that stereo type and can’t level with these kids and their family backround. For example, this year the school had a event for giving away free clothes at target. It was called the assistance league. I am familiar with a few of the parents in my child’s class as it was the children of color that were picked for the free clothing give away. I called the office and asked what prompts a child to be picked and I was told it’s random and that sometimes the teacher will pick a few students. This saddened me because if they wanted to go about this the right way they would have left the line open for communication. Meaning any families or kids that wanted to be apart of this event could sign up to get clothes or sign up to help/ donate. This signups could have also been sent via email for privacy if needed. This just seemed poorly planned and like a teacher saw a kid, assumed the kid needed help, and signed them up. I am appalled that in 2018 we are still in the realm of needed our schools to be educated on diversity. But until the education system here in Carlsbad is on board I plan on speaking up to whomever and whenever I can until our community sees a change.

I have two students at CHS and it’s a great high school with seniors continuing on to an impressive list of colleges. They have a solid AP and honors offering, as well as career training for both college and non-college bound kids. Athletics are robust and the AD is fantastic- very involved and encourages character development as much as performance. Tons of clubs with something for everyone.

I like math, math is fun to learn because it’s easy for me and I love raising my hand in math class.
