I have seen so many fights here I sometimes think this ain't a school but a fight club

This is not a school for gifted children. Gender bias, a pathetic outdated dojo system, and a focus on everything except academics. Rather than instill cooperation and respect, and reward excellence, they report every tiny infraction via dojo down (ie asking to sharpen a pencil, talking in line) to parents. Wonder how they have time to teach. This system allows personal bias from the teacher as well as negativity bias. As this carrot/stick system is ineffective, my student has been pushed down and pulled off play equipment by other students several times this year with no effective staff intervention. 3 dedicated teachers over the past 6 years.

Nothing has changed since the 2018 review listed. Gifted kids are not encouraged to reach their potential - there seems to be a culture focused on making sure bright kids fail. Avoid this school if you want your child to have an environment where academc achievement is facilitated and rewarded. I had heard this was the case before my grandson started here as a straight A student. To be fair, a few teachers seem dedicated to learning but this does not offset the overall focus on petty discipline and an inability to encourage and understand the needs of the bright child.
