School just not right anyone child to go here

My child has been at this school since kindergarten. I definitely believe your experience can be teacher dependent because like with most things some care and some just don’t. We have yet to be blessed with a teacher that really values her role as a teacher. I understand that teachers DO NOT get paid enough and do not have enough support. My expectation is to collaborate in my child’s learning especially if in the classrooms there is a lack of support for the teacher. However, there is a huge communication in regard to all things but most importantly my child’s education. From what I heard this did use to be a great school. I tried to give grace initially because I heard that things had changed but at this point they have just not gotten better. There are activities for parent engagement but the notice you get maybe about 48hours or less. So far with my child I get no real communication or information on what he is doing in school or how I can reinforce it at home. It’s not for lack of trying I ask questions and typically get no response or some type of deflection. Also this site says ratios are 1:12 which is false, they are typically 1:25 min. no matter the classroom, traditional, traditional inclusion, or Montessori classroom.

DO NOT take your children to this school first I have had multiple issues here as well as kids being caught doing drugs or having vapes their metal detectors are not a student was able to bring a metal wrench in her purse to the school and it did not detect it their are multiple fights every month even kids planning to fight on the last day of school because they think “it won’t be on their record” the principal and assistant principals are not helpful especially the 7th grade principal I feel like his job and DHMS should be ceased he is not helpful what so ever he always sides with teachers before students and then jokes around with the students in a disrespectful attitude AGAIN their are fights EVERY month and it is constant back and forth until physical alterations happen and students only get suspended for 2 days max usually it’s not safe and very dangerous behavior is made at this school but it’s not just the students the teachers are very disrespectful one even being RASCAL towards students the think giving them silent lunch does something even though it’s just making stuff worse just not okay and should not happen ever inside a school building
