I am extremely disappointed with Principal Carter. Over several years, I repeatedly advocated for my daughter’s appropriate placement and early grade advancement, but my concerns were ignored or deflected. She misrepresents facts, fails to communicate clearly, and does not follow through on serious issues.During kindergarten, my daughter faced multiple safety incidents in her classroom—being choked, slapped, and nearly losing a tooth. These incidents were not addressed properly, yet my daughter was penalized while the other children were not. When I requested a transfer for her safety, Principal Carter minimized the situation and failed to provide real solutions.Now, my daughter is placed in a K/1 split classroom with a first-year teacher, despite being academically and socially ready for a full first-grade classroom. Principal Carter’s explanations about class composition were inaccurate and misleading.Overall, she is rude, deflects responsibility, and avoids solutions. Interacting with her feels like dealing with one of her students rather than a school administrator. I do not trust her to act in the best interest of the students, and I strongly caution parents who expect transparency, accountability, and advocacy for their children.
