There are huge achievement gaps at this school. The school goal sets for small incremental gains as opposed to taking an aggressive approach to move all students to proficiency levels. It is concerning as this is a Title 1 school and I don’t believe that all of the resources are being made available to provide change. Parents aren’t expected to be part of the the culture of the school. If you’re looking to have bake sales and provide photo opportunities and not provide any real input, then this school is for you. Some teachers are not engaging. Pre pandemic, I did witness teachers yelling at their students. Perhaps they believe that this is the way to instruct students, but from the test scores, it does not work. Students perform well from K-2. Data on grades and proficiency looks a bit murky in grades 3-5. This has been an issue pre pandemic and the solution is to set goals to move up the number of students that are a t proficiency up a few points. Using this strategy, children won’t be at 50% proficiency for years to come. If you’re looking for real academic achievement for your child and a real partnership between parents and school, then this may not be the right fit or culture for you and your family.

The school is entirely full of themselves. My brother has been discriminated against and made fun of by teachers and staff because he has a specific food preference. They have excluded him and made him eat outside ALONE during lunch, mind you it’s only WATERMELON. I refuse to let this go unheard of because it is unacceptable. And please the teaching is below mediocre…
