Attended this school for 2 years, the principal wasn’t not helpful on any concerns we had. Played favorites, didn’t follow regulations for health and food safety. My child was very good and would get written up if they weren’t running fast enough to line up. I have another child who went there and these write ups affected them to high school. If another child was physical or inappropriate the principal would not hear our concern and made my child feel like they were in trouble, taking from their class time. The class sizes had 32 kids, way too large of a class for one teacher. They tried to split up the kids who needed more help and made them feel left out and behind more. No structure, I would have been better off homeschooling since we mostly did that anyways due to the lack of daily interaction with each student. The programs being offered like free lunch were not helpful due to the rude lunch lady who would make my child go to the back of the line if they forgot the lunch number. Very discouraging. Would not recommend champions either, teachers will not help your child open any snacks if they tried to open it with their mouth, even though they are kids just trying to figure it out themselves. There’s some clubs your student could join, those could be fun, but due to the other issues, we never wanted to stay long, discouraging staff. They will write your child up and blame the child for being late instead of hearing the parent. I’ve heard staff in the office tell children to SHH and be quiet when they were hurt from being forced to sit outside and eat lunch off the ground on the hot blacktop in May. Used a thermometer to measure the ground was reading 100 degrees. Way too hot and exhausting for children, also unclean. The bathrooms will be closed and kids won’t know why, my child wasn’t able to use the restroom and I had to ask why they were closed, staff said to go to the office. Our children are supposed to have more than one facility. This school try’s to get away with little things throughout the year that completely are inhumane. Hopefully a new principal could come in and help soon. Would not return my child there until there’s changes for the better of the children we are raising.
