This school year was BAD because the kids were bulling to new kids at the school so I don't recommend this school, kids were cussing at another kid their was fight it got so violence though the student didn't tell the teacher at all lot, so DON'T SEND YOU'ER KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL YEAR! So I would recommend you send your kid to another school isn't violence at all or they could be home school, if your kid as needoh at home DON'T LET THEM HAVE IT DURING CLASS OR LETTING THEM TO BREAK IT, so check their backpack if they are sneaking in them to bring to school. Parent don't send your kids to this school because your kids think about have 5th to 8th, so when they don't realized it was only 5th to 6th.

This is a more critical review of Apple Glen Elementary based on my family’s experience.First and foremost, it’s important to acknowledge the incredible teachers and the majority of the staff at Apple Glen. They are phenomenal educators, dedicated to nurturing and inspiring their students. Even the less tenured teachers are clearly striving to do right by their students, working diligently to grow into their roles. However, their efforts are often undercut by a concerning lack of integrity and accountability from the principal.Leadership sets the tone for any school, and unfortunately, the principal at Apple Glen has consistently demonstrated an unwillingness to take responsibility or act with transparency. Rather than supporting staff and addressing issues in a constructive manner, challenges are often met with deflection and avoidance. This not only stifles teacher growth but also diminishes the trust and confidence that parents should be able to have in school leadership.When concerns are brought forward by families, they are frequently dismissed or downplayed. Honest conversations are met with defensiveness rather than a willingness to listen and engage in meaningful dialogue. This disregard for accountability sends a damaging message to both students and staff — that genuine concerns are not worth addressing and that those in positions of authority are beyond reproach.The dedicated educators at Apple Glen deserve better. They work tirelessly to create positive learning environments despite the lack of support from their leadership. Without principled and transparent leadership, even the most passionate teachers are left without the necessary resources and guidance to thrive.It is my hope that the district takes a hard look at the leadership issues at Apple Glen. Positive change is only possible when integrity and accountability are held as non-negotiable values. Until then, families should be aware of the challenges they may face when navigating concerns at this school.Apple Glen has the potential to be an outstanding institution, but it will take responsible and courageous leadership to get there.
