My children have been bullied since day one at Field School. The students curse like grown-ups. They harass them and physically attack them. The staff repeatedly take the other student' side and interrogate my kids, intimidating them and telling them they are lying. even making them change their story, just like they did in "THE CENTRAL PARK 5". Another student threatened to shoot one of mine. One of my children has a learning deficit an is not sure yet about "binary stuff" so he is teased about that also. No teacher (conveniently) ever witnesses anything. The kids beg every day and every night not to have to go back to Field School. one child's behavior at home has changed and gotten worse. He says he hates his life and he's gonna lose it. The staff laughs and repeatedly denies anything is happening, even when I told them another student witnessed it.

We had our first year of kindergarten. Our daughter was so happy, and we love the parent community. I felt as though everyone cared about our healthy, safety, and welfare. The staff are kind, compassionate, and our teacher was excellent. We had a few hiccups, went to the principal, and things were immediately taken care of, we felt heard. I cannot recommend this loving school enough.

The main problem with this school is that it is too large and does not have enough resources. Most of the teachers are good, but their hands are full. I think that self motivated students do well here, but not students who need extra help.

My son had a bad experience at Justice Page school. School administration was hostile and used suspension as their main tool to deal with challenging students. The principle and her administration do not understand students' concerns and did not listen when we tried to talk to them. They came across extremely arrogant and unfriendly, even to their own stuff. The teachers were high quality and the councilor is superb - we would not have survived at JP without her support.
