I’ve been a parent of this school for the past 10 years consecutively. I am on my 3rd child being a student here. While my older two had much better experiences, the past 2 years here have been a nightmare. From the principal change to the staff. It’s very unwelcoming, the teachers are extremely hard on kindergarten and first grade students who are adjusting to school. I’m actually in the process of pulling my student out because I feel she is being targeted by staff. It makes no sense to me why a 1st grader would be “failing”. They are monitored and marked for every little thing such as forgetting to raise their hand and answering out loud. While I agree that the structure and discipline is necessary, every child does not remember and learn the same. So marking her down behavior points is not effective. Students didn’t have to raise their hand in pre-school regularly so it’s an adjustment. From the start they have been very hard on my child and it’s concerning. I’ve spoken to other parents who have not had this problem with their children but theirs haven’t had this with the same concerns admitting that their kids done raise hands all the time but don’t get married for it. It’s weird and concerning
