Spring Trail Elementary has many caring and talented teachers. My child learned a lot and felt supported by classroom staff. Unfortunately, the administration is a different story. The principal is difficult to work with. She does not treat families equally and often enforces the rules in a selective way. White students face harsher discipline for minor issues, while more serious problems involving minority students are ignored or handled gently.She is not transparent and can be dishonest in meetings. She often uses exclusion as punishment, even for young children in kindergarten. She takes away recess, which goes against the Right to Play Act. This happens often.I wish I could recommend the school without reservations, but families should be careful. The teachers are wonderful, but the administration does not support students or parents fairly. If you have concerns, document every conversation and keep records. Your child’s experience will depend a lot on how much you have to deal with the principal.
