They let a girl with lice come back to school without being treated.

This is a diverse and inclusive school. The diversity changes with each year due to the demographics of this city. They have a waiting list at Idlewild because they are well respected for both teachers and curriculum. The PTA has always been strong at Idlewild. Parents, teachers and community working together to form new citizens through education and awareness of self and respect for others. My child started here in kindergarten and continued through to college graduation and is a contributing citizen today. We were a middle class military family (now retired). My grandchildren now have the opportunity to attend Idlewild and are even luckier with the addition of the IB curriculum. No one is forced. New ideas or feelings are embraced as teaching and learning opportunities by the staff. People who feel left out need to get involved not complain on this forum. Addressing the comment I saw about Black heritage month being ignored. January was when the school was on remote learning due to covid-19 in 2020. I can assess that Latino/Hispanic heritage month was September/October 2021 and that my grandchild shared with me a few things from school on that. In Idlewild's defense it is much easier to notice awareness of the respecting of heritage during in school attendance. The school and staff were doing their utmost to give the best education to each and every child under difficult circumstances last year. Our thanks for a job well done. Teachers should not be made into surrogate parents. Idlewild's teachers give parents and each student the tools to excel. What you do at home to enhance and develop them is up to each individual family in the community. In conclusion I would add- once a falcon always a falcon "Soar to your highest level". We can raise the ratings by being personally responsible for supporting good citizens in every way as individuals, students, and community members.

I recently removed my son from Harrison prep due to some factors; One reason I moved my son out of this school is because the amount of bullying there is. I entered the classroom with my son, halfway through the class, I heard Multiple racial slurs towards me and my son. It was loud enough for the teacher to hear, Yet nothing was said to these students. The majority of students here are hispanic I would say. My son told me that the dis obedient students are best friends with admins so they always get out of trouble. My daughter that I also have moved from this school told me she would get bullied by 8th graders and 11th graders that were in a friend group together. My daughter told a teacher but yet nothing has been done about it. My daughter also told me that the bathrooms would smell like nicotine vapor and weed. I recommend not to bring your child to this school for their own safety.
