While I appreciate the efforts being made to improve school culture, there is a noticeable lack of collaboration between leadership, staff, and families. Strong schools are built on partnership, communication, and mutual respect—not a top-down approach where voices feel unheard.When leadership leans more toward control than collaboration, it impacts the overall climate for both students and staff. I hope to see more inclusive decision-making and a greater focus on building trust with the entire school community.

My child attended this school for three years. The first year was a positive experience, but unfortunately things declined rapidly after that.The teacher my child had was not effective. She frequently yelled at the students and treated them unfairly. Many parents raised concerns, yet nothing was done to address the situation. This lack of accountability was extremely disappointing.The final year was by far the worst. The staff often came across as petty and indifferent to students’ feelings and well-being. While they claimed to be “on top of things,” the reality was very different. As a parent, I constantly had to do my own research, follow up, and advocate just to get basic concerns acknowledged.What makes this especially unfortunate is that many families do not have other options and are forced to keep their children enrolled. My child is fortunate to no longer be there. If you have alternative options for your child’s education, I strongly encourage you to explore them.
