This school showed promise when I first enrolled my daughter in second grade. I am appreciative that we worked collaboratively in ensuring that my daughter caught up to reading at with intervention, after school tutoring, and I would also tutor her myself on Saturdays at the library. However, as she continued to be in school and as I enrolled my son in Pre-k certain events arose that my family values and that of the administration in the schools did not align. My daughter was being harassed by boys near the bathroom and no adult was around. My son was being hit continuously by a little girl and no one adult would say anything. I noticed and mentioned something to the teacher and administration, what they did was put my son in a room and badgered him until he said what they wanted him to say. The principal would gossip about parents about other parents and would resort to lies and slander in order to keep her enrollment, teachers would also collaborate with the lies and slander. Administration is unprofessional and unethical, when confronted they do not see any error in their behavior they actually escalate to screaming at parents. The after care staff scream at the children, when this is brought up to administration they just lash out at the kids later on. All of the dates and meetings for end of year celebration for fifth graders was always held under lock and key, parents were informed until the last minute when any input would not be accepted. They also reject any psychologist diagnosis to avoid the paperwork that comes with a 504 plan or ESE. I also noticed that the teachers lied in meetings when confronted about homework amount given to students. The award ceremony I agree with a statement another parent made about being told your child is at the top of the class only to be awarded little to no merit on core classes. The favoritism during the award ceremony was apparent to the students that would be going to the middle school next year. Also, there was very little availability for parent involvement as all PTA meetings are in the morning and could not be over zoom. After all of this, the audacity that the administration had to ask me to leave my son, I was firm in my decision to transfer them to another school. So glad to have switched my kids out of this school. I'm hopeful that switching them to charter schools would be a better experience with like-minded values of a different administration.
