Our experience with the school community itself was wonderful. We met incredible families, and our children had some truly wonderful teachers who cared deeply about their students. There is so much that is special about this school and its community.Unfortunately, our experience with Principal Hollowell’s leadership was very different. When we raised serious concerns, including bullying and instances of poor teacher performance, we often felt dismissed rather than heard. We saw very little in the way of proactive measures, meaningful follow-up, or accountability, even when concerns directly affected our child’s experience at school.It was particularly disappointing because the school has so many strengths. The teachers, families, and overall community have the potential to make it an outstanding environment for children. In our experience, however, the lack of responsive and proactive leadership had a noticeable negative impact on that environment.After our experience, I understand why many of the concerns expressed in other reviews about the administration are so consistent. I sincerely hope those concerns are taken seriously by Mrs. Hollowell, because the students, teachers, and families in this community deserve leadership that matches the quality of the community itself.
