It's an "ok" school. Teachers are good, but the curriculum and mindset of the school extremely hindering. To be clear, I don't blame the teachers for that. They're doing the best they can with what they are mandated to teach and how. As an example, they just started teaching spelling in 5th grade. When asked for additional information in the past, we were met with "that's just what we do here." When asked about struggles in the classroom, we were assured our child was "doing fine" despite their tests and report cards saying otherwise. After struggling to have the school arrange for additional support and failure to have the child study team brought in, we quickly pivoted and had our child independently evaluated, and obtained additional support outside of the school. The principal is more concerned about not ruffling feathers and keeping the kids from handling adverse situations when the school needs to clearly admit that there are a lot of red flags, and focus on their own school's test ratings which are the lowest in our town at an abysmal 40%.
