Unfair treatment towards students unreasonable suspensions overall not a good environment

Great, my son has been going to this school for 2 years now and i have noticed good overall progress.

As a former student who just graduated , I feel it’s important to speak out about the unfair treatment happening at my school. One of the biggest issues is how female students are targeted when it comes to dress code especially those with more developed bodies !!!! It’s disturbing that male teachers are often the ones enforcing these rules, which makes many girls feel uncomfortable and judged. Two students can wear the same outfit, yet only one gets dress coded based on her body type. That’s not okay. All students deserve to be treated equally, regardless of how they look.Bullying is another huge problem here. The staff rarely take it seriously, and when we do report things, they claim they’ll fix it but never actually do. It feels like our voices don’t matter. Many teachers abuse their power and treat students with disrespect. The environment isn’t supportive or safe I t’s stressful. The food in the cafeteria is also really bad, and our concerns about it are always brushed off.Lastly, the assistant principals seriously need more education on how to communicate with students. If they want respect, they should lead by example and earn it, not demand it. Overall, this school has a lot of issues that need real change, not just empty promises.

My son is in the am kindergarten program. We are happy with the content he is learning. He is happy with his teacher, who communicates in a highly effective manner with our family. We are updated on his progress and are given work to do with him at home. There is also an extended day program for the half day kindergarten to extend out the day to a full day experience. There are many programs for the family to share in at Perry L. Drew.
