The school does nothing as a whole to decrease continued targeting & harassment. Even though they indicate in their handbook that there is a code of conduct, they do not follow through with any school wide announcements that it will not be tolerated.

A whole new level of terrible administration! I sent emails, but nobody replied except the Assistant Principal. I went in person to submit the required documents, yet nothing was corrected, so I followed up with another email—and again, no response. When I went back in person, they told me the documents were lost, without even an apology. If you ever submit any paperwork to this school, make sure you get a receipt or proof of submission from the person who takes it.

My son is graduating fifth grade this year.We really liked the last principal, Miss Lee, She was very fair. The new principal Miss Ski has a bias against children that speak Mandarin. My son and two of his friends told me that he has heard the principal call these children “Mandarin” as if that is who they are rather than the language that they speak.

While the buildings are brand new, the "software" of this school which is the people is lacking. The admin staff such as secretary and parent coordinator are cold and generally unhelpful. They never greet kids or parents when I or others parents either late or drop of the kids or pick up kids early. If they don’t know something, they won't go out of their way to help you find out. The school lacks diversity in its programming: no bilingual program such as Chinese or Spanish (being in a very diverse community) and no special education support, no self contained classes . There is ICT classes though. It feels as though they aren't interested in accommodating special need families. They just want you travel further to another school cause the new principal simply doesn’t care. Did I mention there’s no science cluster teacher for years? The class teacher can only cover the minimum and they are not even specialized in Science. Remember we have Science state test for 5th grade. Good luck to those graduates who are entering middle schools with weak fundamentals of science. The playground is tiny with no grass, and the school spirit is low due to a lack of fun activities. Teachers are a mixed bag, some are very responsible and amazing, while others are just doing the bare minimum. You may expect response from those teachers after 2 years when you Dojo them.
