There was no option for past student so here we are! A year ago or... 2 years ago since its the new year yay!!! I went to this school, and I stayed and saw a lot! Because its either you'll have an amazing time or a really not so good time... it matters more with the people you surround yourself with. Have friends! Good ones! Because if you are walking by yourself, people will pick and push at you! Seriously, what i did was i just stayed as neutral as I could until I met the people that I am still friends with today! After 2 years! I feel the school did a terrible job on helping lots of kids, keeping a lot secret from others. There was lots of fights in the morning or at lunch, lots of girl students would either be sexually harassed, or mentally abuse other girls. A lot of boys would either have came in cheery and excited to start school and then being so done with life after they walked through the halls where kids ran and yelled racial slurs at each other, or they would be the kind to bully everyone. Hah! Im not even at the bottom of the ice burg! All my friends which we are not in this school anymore have made an entire group chat dedicated to venting about our experiences! Some having been bullied so bad they almost committed. And it was the first school, when I was in 6th grade that I learned a kid died and not a lot of people talked about it, I heard the class next door laughing about their death. It is a really cruel place if you dont have you back guarded. Whether if thats loosing a loved one or being cheated on because you are too ugly, nobody really cares. Again, surround yourself with the people who care about you, whether if thats a coach or friends. It took me a while to find good ones, but keeping you head low and knowing who you are on the inside can really help when it comes to the flaws the school has. Besides, not everything is all flames and death the moment you step past those gates. There were some genuinely likeable teachers out there who supported you, whether if you were struggling with identity, politics, or just growing into a world that criticizes you for not being the person they all want you to be. Do whatever you want! Don't have to listen to this review but im almost running out of letters allowed! Don't listen to anybody unless its a lawyer or your guts because you will need some for this school! Happy new year!

All three of my children attended this school, my youngest still attending. We love the Dual Language benefits and the community is great!

On November 11, 2023 I applied for the preschool assistant position. I’ve been working with kids for over 15 years and I wanted to change over and work with kids in a school setting. I was emailed from the principal on November 24, 2023 asking if I would be able to do an interview. I was so excited because I had been waiting on this moment and working in a school setting has always been a dream of mine. We scheduled the interview for November 29, 2023 at 9:30 am. I arrived to the school at 9:20 am and I let the office staff know that I was here for an interview. I had to wait a couple minutes which didn’t bother me, I was a bit early. The principal took me back to the room for the interview and the preschool teacher was also in attendance. They both asked me questions and scenarios and I responded positively and promptly. I also asked questions about the position and how does preschool work in the school setting. They were both excited about my answers and about the knowledge I provided. The principal told me that they had other interviews and would be in touch. I thanked the both of them and went about my day. On December 5,2023 she emailed me and asked me if I would prefer to work in a preschool setting or would I be interested in doing one or one. She explained she had a 1 or one position available. I responded I would be open to either and then told me the position starts January 4th and I could let my current job know. She promised me two positions and then told me she would check my references. Well she never told me that she had another candidate this whole time as well. She emailed me and told me I wasn’t picked for the position, they went with the other candidate. The principal offered me two different positions and she promised me a job before she said she had to check my references, and I asked her if I could apply for other positions and she ignored me and just told me per my references I was not picked but she led me on knowing she already had another candidate

As a parent, I was very disappointed with our experience at this school. Over the four years our child attended, we did not feel they received the academic support they needed. Communication was also a recurring issue — in our experience, the counselor, Claudia, was often difficult to reach and follow-up frequently required multiple emails or contacting the front office.It also seemed that academic performance and intervention for struggling students were not prioritized consistently. We felt there was a stronger focus on maintaining comfort and flexibility than on accountability and educational progress.
