As a mother who had all of my children attend this school, I have to say it was an extremely disappointing experience. Bullying was a serious issue, and it was largely ignored or swept under the rug. Even when my child reached out to teachers for help—at a time when they were being threatened by a group of students—the response was a dismissive “try again.” The teaching was equally concerning. There was a noticeable lack of support, and the learning felt very hands-off. Much of the education seemed to rely on tablets instead of real engagement from teachers. In music class, my child was told they were “not old enough” to use the instruments. I found this baffling; if you’re teaching at an elementary school, shouldn’t you have instruments that are appropriate for their age? Instead, they spent more time watching GoNoodle than learning or playing music. There were also not enough student activities or meaningful events. Field day, which was supposed to be fun, was poorly organized and turned into nothing more than bounce houses. No concerts, no extracurricular activities—it felt like the school wasn't fostering any sense of community or personal growth.Additionally, the restrictions at lunch—where students weren't allowed to sit with their friends—seemed to stifle social development. How are kids supposed to learn to adapt to others if they're not even given the chance to interact with different peers?My family’s experience with this school was deeply disheartening, and I would not recommend it to anyone who wants their children to thrive. The combination of unchecked bullying, poor teaching practices, and lack of social opportunities is something no parent/child should have to endure.
