I am currently a student here. Some teachers are very nice, other teachers are absolutely mean, no offense. One teacher called a student an idiot. Not all teachers discipline very well. Bullying and harassment is a 3/5 rating, not all teachers care. Rarely any fun days, ex. Dress downs, movies, etc. Lots of children curse and it is not acknowledged.

This place is way easier to handle than in ECCA

This school just got a new principal and I do think some of the issues now are just from going from a person who made that school feel like a family to a person who is only about policy. As most people know with kids, you can’t write a policy to fit every child. My kindergartner is struggling this year and when I approached the school counselor, she said she’d never heard of a child who can get so upset she will make herself sick. As a counselor, a masters is required, she’s never seen a child with anxiety? My fourth grader had the toughest start because last year was such a mess, she was homeschooled for half the year. They retained her off of a test they administered, which I’ve had other teachers tell me are not relevant to what are needed at all. But they refused to look at what work we had done. Did I mention I actually have a teaching license so this wasn’t just going in completely blind to state requirements. We also followed the schools schedule so if I did send her back, she’d be on track. The current principal must have repeated the word policy twenty times and I wish more than anything I’d have fought it. But that’s definitely on me. The biggest issue you’ll find in this county in general is if you don’t have multiple generations here, you’ll probably continue to be the outsiders.
