I previously gave this school a good review but i must speak out about how the quality of the school has been in a steady decline. My child has been here for her whole elementary school years and is now in her last year (5th grade). The teachers used to be so involved with the parents, they were caring and communicated with both students and parents to make sure the kids were not missing a beat. But the past couple of years there has been a slow but steady decline in the quality of the communication, the staff and of the education in general. There are still some wonderful teachers there, however I believe the leadership (principal and vice principal who don't seem to take the parents' concerns seriously or hold our children's education to any type of standard) has a lot to do with it. If this is to be your school, just remain involved (as parents should anyway), and make sure that your children aren't silently struggling or falling behind with the curriculum.

I’m extremely disappointed with how Ed White High School handled a recent incident involving my younger sister.A staff member repeatedly misgendered my sister after being corrected and later referred to her as transgender. This was disrespectful not only to my sister, but also to the broader LGBTQ+ community. Educators are expected to de-escalate situations and model professionalism — not escalate or demean students.What’s most troubling is that my sister was disciplined immediately and multiple times, while the adult involved faced no visible accountability. This creates the appearance of bias and raises serious concerns about how student complaints are handled versus how staff behavior is addressed.Instead of focusing on accountability and transparency, the school’s response felt dismissive and defensive. That erodes trust between families and the institution that’s supposed to protect and educate children.I hope the administration reflects on this situation, takes appropriate corrective action, and prioritizes respect, fairness, and student well-being moving forward.
