Best school pro late to go here and have my family

The school offers so much! The staff is great, the sports are great. Courses offered are very effective.

I attended MYB for pre k not knowing a word of English, the staff did a great job getting me integrated. Mrs Clark was great 27 years ago! Now my son is at the school for PK and Ms. Murphy is a superstar along with Mrs. Solomon. So very attentive and caring MYB is a great place to grow! Mr. Arciero is also a rockstar! The only thing I do not like about the school is the lack of parking. There is a roundabout but only on street parking for parents.

There has been nothing short of horror stories in regards to the principle of this school. My family has shared these experiences along with multiple other families as she seems to feel it is her obligation and within her power to primarily handle student problem resolution without council or involvement from the school counselor and her methods have proven to be a "pit the students against each other until the majority picks one student that to take the blame. Then isolate that student and guide them through writing a narrative that has them admit that they are to blame." Many children, including my own have been seriously perturbed by these methods. I even know of a family that demanded she not handle their child in this manner, then had to go to the school board when she didn't adhere to their request.Also, aside from the principle, students have had nothing but horrific stories regarding teacher aids. From being disciplined for walking on the grass during recess, to being micromanaged to the point where they can't get up to throw away their lunch without consent.
