i like this school because it a great school for my child

During the 2025–2026 school year, both of my sons attended this school for kindergarten and first grade. Unfortunately, our experience has not been positive.As an African-American family with children who are not bilingual, we encountered ongoing challenges. Communication was often difficult, as many staff members primarily spoke Spanish, which created barriers in both understanding and supporting my children’s learning.Throughout the year, I made consistent efforts to stay involved, but I struggled to have clear and respectful communication with staff and teachers. This made it harder to effectively advocate for my children and ensure they were receiving the support they needed.Because of these experiences, I will be withdrawing my children at the end of the school year. I would encourage other parents who are highly involved in their child’s education to carefully consider whether this school will meet their needs

This school has serious problems with respect, professionalism, and abuse of authority. The library staff, especially some of the women who work there, are consistently rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. Instead of doing their job and supporting students, they treat us as if we are bothering them. Simple questions are met with irritation, bad attitudes, and disrespect.One staff member in particular abuses the small amount of power she has. She stopped me when I was simply picking up my backpack, as if I were about to commit a crime. She canceled my exam twice, not because I was using my phone, but because I had headphones in my pocket that I was not even using. My phone was inside my backpack. She waited for me outside the girls’ restroom, searched my belongings, and publicly accused me, humiliating me in front of others.Students are constantly treated with suspicion instead of respect. The environment feels hostile and stressful, not supportive. Because of this lack of control, respect, and professionalism, at least one teacher has already resigned, and I doubt he will be the last.This school urgently needs accountability and change.
