this was the worse 3 years of my life

My daughter has been at Washington for the last 3,5 years. It is a school with amazing admin, great teachers and a wonderful and racially diverse community. It also implements sustainable practices in the lunchroom and in the classrooms, of which students play a key role by composting and recycling. Social justice and equity are an important part of the curriculum. Overall, students are exposed and educated about issues that go beyond math, reading and writing. BTW, it is a TWI school, meaning that half of the student body (2 strands per grade) is taught in Spanish and English.

My experience at the school was in the middle. I would see Everston Township is false advertisement. They do not provide safety as much as they say they do. They do not keep students safe as much as they say they do. They also do not have such a good emotional support system. Many adults in there are very disrespectful and get upset when students are disrespectful back, but in a place like that, we are all supposed to feel welcomed safe like family and respected, but they don’t speak on the bad there are staff members there that are entirely rude. They will argue back-and-forth with you. There are teachers there that don’t try to help and support students when they are struggling on work. punishments are so unfair there mainly towards black kids Evanston Township talks about how diverse it is, but it doesn’t talk about also how racist it is.
