My daughter is a freshman in the school and we are thrilled with her experience. Great teachers and welcoming students.

My child started kindergarten in 2020 remotely so when she entered 1st grade at Love, in person, she thrived and fell in love with school. The teachers and the principal are wonderful, passionate and committed to creating a welcoming, nurturing and inclusive environment for all students. There is a strong sense of community at Love Elementary with a caring and supportive PTA. A diverse school with families from all different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds and an everyday culture that promotes inclusion and respect for all cultures.

Wood faces significant challenges with student behavior and administrative oversight, resulting in an unsafe and disruptive environment. A small group of students repeatedly engages in violent and disruptive behavior, including physical altercations in classrooms that have injured teachers and targeted female students. Specific incidents include boys filming themselves assaulting another student in the bathroom and ongoing issues with sexual harassment among students, which appear to go unaddressed.Disciplinary measures are inconsistent, as repeat offenders face minimal consequences, such as suspensions, allowing disruptive behavior to continue unchecked. The administration seems more focused on preventing incidents from being recorded on phones than addressing the underlying violence. Additionally, older students are permitted to enter and disrupt classes intended for younger students, further undermining the learning environment.While some dedicated teachers strive to focus on academics, others appear to prioritize personal or social agendas over education. With the school under construction and utilizing portable classrooms, monitoring students in a smaller space should be more manageable, yet oversight remains inadequate. The administration’s apparent leniency toward disruptive students, possibly due to their special needs, compromises the safety and education of well-behaved students who are there to learn.The school must prioritize student safety, consistent discipline, and academic focus to create a supportive and effective learning environment for all.
