I had an extremely disappointing experience with this school. Throughout the time my children attended, I felt they were repeatedly subjected to unfair and discriminatory treatment.One of the most concerning things I noticed was the lack of teachers of color. The staff did not reflect the diversity of the students, and based on our experiences, I felt that my children were treated differently because of their race. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling that there was a serious lack of cultural awareness and that discriminatory attitudes were tolerated.My daughter is very shy and quiet, yet her art teacher isolated her in a corner away from the rest of the class for two entire school years. This was extremely upsetting and concerning as a parent. Another teacher yelled at my child and asked her, in front of the entire class, whether she even spoke English. This was humiliating and completely unacceptable.I was also very disappointed with the quality of education. My children’s academic performance and test scores declined significantly after transferring to this school, and I did not feel that they were receiving the instruction or support they needed to succeed.Overall, our experience was deeply negative. I would not recommend this school to other families, particularly families of color. Every child deserves to feel respected, included, supported, and safe in their classroom.
