This school feels more like an institution than an elementary school. While my children lucked out with a few amazing teachers, my overall experience with this school was deeply disappointing.Admin lacks communication, organization, transparency, and providing adequate support to staff. The school lost many strong teachers, and the amount of turnover is concerning. From a parent’s perspective, I had no idea what was going on with my kids at school. The lack of communication created a disconnect between the school and its families and made it difficult to feel involved or confident in the school’s leadership.Admin would complain about a lack of volunteers, but there were very few opportunities for parents to volunteer outside of joining the PTO Board. Unfortunately, the PTO also seemed to have little involvement and visibility. We were always asked to contribute financially, but I definitely couldn’t see how those donations were benefiting the students/teachers or improving their school experiences.School spirit was non-existent. There were few special events, opportunities, or clubs for students, and the school often felt bare and uninspiring. Even during the holidays, there was very little effort to create a festive or welcoming atmosphere, unless you include the partially lit Christmas tree in the cafeteria with no decorations, which felt representative of the overall lack of school spirit and engagement.One of my biggest concerns was the frequent disruption of my children’s learning environments due to serious and ongoing behavioral issues. It was concerning to hear about classmates throwing objects, hurting other students, vandalizing classrooms, etc. I understand that children with behavioral challenges need appropriate support. However, the classroom teachers were left to manage situations beyond what they could reasonably handle. Teachers requested additional help from admin but received little meaningful support.I truly hope this review serves as a wake-up call to admin. The students, families, and dedicated teachers at this school deserve stronger leadership, better communication, greater transparency, more support, and a school environment that feels welcoming, engaging, and focused on helping students thrive. Do better than the bare minimum.
