This school offers a strong dual language program, and there are several dedicated and caring teachers. However, the overall culture was not a good fit for our family. Based on our experience, I perceived a divide between dual language and monolingual students. My son would sometimes repeat comments he heard from peers suggesting that students in the dual language program were “smarter” or “better,” which was concerning to us as parents.I have always been an involved parent and volunteered at the school initially, but I eventually chose to step back because I personally felt uncomfortable with the overall parent and staff culture. That said, there are teachers here who clearly care about their students and work hard.The school was responsive in putting accommodations in place on paper for my child, and I believe staff members were making genuine efforts. However, from my perspective, broader systemic limitations made it difficult to consistently implement supports. My daughter, who had previously enjoyed school, became very distressed while attending. Although communication with her teachers was frequent and appreciated, we often felt pressure to pick her up early, which created additional stress for our family.Ultimately, this school may be a good fit for some students, particularly those who thrive in the dual language program, but it was not the right environment for our children.
