Old outdated facilities. They just used cardboard to stint a kids injury on the field. They did not even have a flat medical board to carry an injured player off the field. Unacceptable sports management teams and incompetent fields crews. Concessions came through the cardboard for support.

I've been bullied throughout my 7th grade year. Im in 8th grade and now I have trauma. I have Ptsd, and always remember what went on during that time. This school allows racial, and homophobic slurs to be said without punishment. The principal and vice principal never do any check ins after complaints. These teachers allow favoritism for children of teachers.

My child attended Lowrie from K-2nd grade. She loved her teachers and received good grades. However, in 2nd grade she was put into a classroom that had children with some challenging behavior issues. The teacher was experienced, but even she struggled to maintain order. Then a few weeks into the year she moved. The new teacher did not have experience handling a class like this. Every time I volunteered in the class it was chaos. The principal, Sarita Amaya, said they were working with her to help her manage the classroom, but things only worsened. My daughter started getting kicked, hit and bit in the classroom and on the playground by a few kids. When I was brought in to discuss it with Ms. Amaya, I specifically asked if my daughter was doing anything to irritate or provoke these incidents. The answer was an emphatic, "No, but she reacts, so they do tend to pick on her." When I asked what they meant by "reacts" the answer was, "She screams at them or cries." REALLY?? My 2nd grade daughter screams or cries at being kicked, hit or bit by another student? I was then asked to help her try to work on her reactivity so that maybe they would stop picking on her. All children should feel safe at school. I trusted them to keep her safe and they didn't-multiple times. Then they blamed her. Yes, they also talked to the parents of the kids who were hurting her, but the root of the problem was the chaos and lack of support for the teacher. I talked to one of the kid's parents who was hurting her and they were just as exasperated as I was with the school. Their child never exhibited this behavior anywhere else. But 2nd graders can only handle so much chaos before they break. Poor behavior is the result. His parents pulled him, and he has had zero problems in the private school he now attends. We pulled our daughter from Lowrie as well. The pandemic helped us realize I could homeschool her. Then I got another surprise; her excellent grades were not a reflection of her grade level mastery. We had a lot of work to do to get her up to grade level and get her confidence back- emotionally and academically. After talking to some teachers and educators there, it is very apparent that they are not supported, and overall morale of the staff is very low. I do not trust the management of the school and will not send any of my children back there. Lowrie is failing their teachers and failed my daughter on so many levels.
