Two of my children attended this school. In the beginning, families are made to feel very welcome, which is appreciated. However, in my experience, that sense of support changed when I began requesting assistance and advocacy for my child.This is a small town where many families, teachers, and staff members have known each other for years. Unfortunately, I observed what appeared to be favoritism toward certain students, while others were treated differently. This environment can contribute to concerns being overlooked, including issues related to bullying and mistreatment.What I found most troubling was the administration’s handling of serious concerns. My child experienced an incident in which a parent bullied them on school property. When I brought the matter to the administration’s attention, I was informed that there was nothing they could do. As a parent, that response was deeply disappointing and concerning.Parents should be aware that, in my opinion, some issues are not addressed with the urgency and transparency they deserve. The feeling that concerns may be minimized or swept under the rug is unsettling, especially when it involves the well-being and safety of children.I also believe that certain staff members have, at times, failed to adequately address bullying behaviors. In my experience, some incidents were treated as normal childhood behavior rather than being taken seriously and addressed appropriately.Every family’s experience may be different, but I feel it is important to share mine so that other parents can make informed decisions and advocate for their children when necessary.
