Very dangerous school for kids. Incompetent administration. School employee recently arrested for TRAFFICKING FENTANYL. Students don't feel safe at this school. Stay far away.

I would not recommend this school. My son is in kindergarten. When he first started the classroom was 28 children to one teacher with 6 kindergarten classes total in the school. The school building is very new, so stark white walls, are not allowed to be painted, and is overall uninviting for young children. Kindergarten classrooms do not have the normal play items or hands-on supplies unless the particular teacher wants to provide them. My son's first classroom was just desks with a Smart Board in front. Overall, the overcrowded setting I feel is not the best for educating kindergarteners.Additionally, the school moved my son to a special education classroom 2 days in without asking us first and disregarded his IEP which recommended the general education classroom. Though my son has an IEP, everything has seemed to be exasperated at this new school. We used to feel so excited about preschool for my son and felt he was loved at his old school. At this school, we get the sense from the administration that he is an annoyance and we feel like the school looks down on him.When I came into the classroom when it had 28 kindergarteners, what I saw was utter chaos. My son was placed in a seat where it was impossible to see the board. Class time consisted of the teacher instructing on a Smart Board while 5-year-olds, many of whom had never written anything a day in their life, were expected to follow along on their worksheets. Meanwhile, 1 or 2 children were running around the classroom and another 1 or 2 behavior teachers were chasing the children around. Teachers are not allowed to put their hands on children, so all they can do is try to shield the child if they climb something high that could be dangerous and convince them to leave the classroom. The teacher was trying to instruct with the occasional yelling at the students running around. That is what I saw. They were able to hire a new teacher several months into the semester, which helped matters. Still, I do not feel like my son is loved in this environment. Communication is poor. At one time I was told me son was greatly improving, and then months letter I received a message that my son's issues have intensified and that he never improved. It is hard as a parent to be involved with helping your child if you are not given the proper information about your child's performance. I rarely get work home, completed or uncompleted, from my child (maybe once a month now).

Both the principals at the school do not know how to treat parents or students. They act like they’re offended you would even dare need their assistance and they throw any student under the bus anytime the student even breathes wrong. They’re loyal to their teachers and staff, not trying to make fair decisions, only biased ones. They’re disrespectful to the parents and the students. Disgusting behavior, the leaders here are corrupt. Don’t go here
