If I could leave this school less than 1 star, I would. My child attended this school since Kindergarten. Child is now in 5th grade. The school was alot better when they were in some of the younger grades, particularly pre-pandemic. Ever since that time the school has been awful. One of the post-pandemic years, my child was given a medical test without my knowledge or consent. I was not notified thereafter, I had to find out about it from my child. When I brought this up to the principal, she said she took it seriously but no repercussions were ever faced to my knowledge by the nurse who administered it. And she is still there at that school. This year alone, my child has gotten a concussion from being punched by another student, has been consistently humiliated and bullied by his teacher (and the teacher has told the kids that they shouldn't say anything to their parents about what is going on), my child has been talked to about medical-related things when I am not there and had not been notified this was taking place. My child has heard threats from another child directly about committing a shooting of the school and the parents were not notified or informed that any such threat had taken place, my child has been directly threatened and bullied by other students. My child is not informed of assignments that need to be completed, seemingly for the express purpose of exclusion from fun events. The teacher and the principal have talked with condescension towards me when I simply ask questions that are fair given the circumstances and try to use things like, "HIPPA" as reasons not to communicate with parents about serious occurrences- apparently because they believe I do not know what HIPPA is or how it works (as most of the kids that go to that school do not have parents where English is their first language so I guess they think they can get away with lying to parents.) Academically, the education is awful, if your child is a native English speaker. Teacher is lazy and refuses to help students with questions and work that they might not understand. And the administration does not hold their staff accountable for anything. The communication is atrocious. Events are disorganized. Information about events are confusing, vague, contradictory or not sent out in a timely manner so as a parent or family member, you have a hard time being involved. It seems to be by design. I am moving my child out of this school for next year. Do not send your children here.

The school used to be wonderful and heading in a great direction, they hired a new principal and the school has rapidly declined. The new principal has a real problem with putting her image above the needs of the students, and lacks the ability to prioritize the needs of the teacher,students and school infrastructure. The school is also no longer a Montessori school!

My daughter is way happier here than meadow

Me gustaría la información de esta escuela la edad necesaria para pk

i went here from 05-07 as a kid and this school was by far the worst school I've ever encountered. They do nothing about bullying, and i have asthma and when i asked the nurse for my inhaler she declined to give it to me. I remember my mom cussing at her for like 15 minutes. She did not care. If i could give this school a 0 i would. You're better off sending your kid to Africa to get his education than this failure of a school community, and from the other reviews I saw they never changed their way i would recommend cherry drive elementary or the other school on 120th and holly. I had the best experience at cherry drive.
