Disappointment when the principal calls my daughter a liar for something her teacher agreed she did wrong. Principal is supposed to advocate for my child instead she plain insulted us!! God forbid it had been something worse she would also call my child a liar. This lady was recently hired and already She is not to be trusted!!!

Listen to the podcast “Nice White Parents” and that will tell you just about everything you need to know about how this school handles diversity. Racism and bigotry are rampant and individual teachers will correct the students, but the offending kids are never punished, yet my daughter was reprimanded by the assistant principal for calling someone a racist because it made the other girl cry.

This school has pros and cons. This is surprisingly a really diverse school (nothing is wrong with that) and has some very good clubs and activities. Aside from its pros like every school, it has its lists of cons. One thing the school can really improve on is their punishments, they use a system called an “RP” to punish bad kids (which makes you miss either lunch or recess) Which does not really give the students a harsh punishment because the same kids keep getting them over and over again. I suggest that instead of the “RP” system they make the students do something more affective like clean the school kitchen, or help clean the classrooms instead of recess. Another problem I would like to note is the dating, lots of kids in this school make out and have secret social media accounts which ship students with each other. The school also needs a better job of teaching the kids respect and discipline, I am constantly hearing about fights in this school and kids cussing in the hallways. I also am constantly encountering groups of disrespectful girls that laugh at me and talk about me behind my back. The school will probably not listen to this feedback but I will update this review if they consider it.

I had a concerning experience involving how legal custody documentation and participation in my child’s IEP process were handled within the school district.In my situation, I provided legal custody documents, but there appeared to be inconsistency in how they were interpreted and applied. As a result, I was not included in certain parts of the IEP process. I filed a state complaint, and the outcome supported my concern that I should have been included.What was especially concerning to me was that similar communication and participation issues continued after my child transferred to another school within the district and worked with a different IEP team.Because of these experiences, I encourage other families—especially those navigating custody arrangements or special education services—to stay actively involved, keep detailed records, ask clarifying questions, and keep your options open to ensure procedures are followed consistently.I hope sharing this helps increase awareness and supports clearer, more consistent communication in similar situations.
