This school has left me with lasting trauma regarding my child’s safety. In 2019, my four year old son was able to leave by himself undetected during dismissal. I found him half a block away by himself looking for me. It was pure luck that I was walking toward him and didn’t come up from the other direction. He could have been abducted, hit by a car, you name it. The school has since changed their dismissal procedure. When I called the following day to talk to the principal, they swept my concerns under the rug. Abysmal handling of both safety and justified parent concerns.

While the buildings are brand new, the "software" of this school which is the people is lacking. The admin staff such as secretary and parent coordinator are cold and generally unhelpful. They never greet kids or parents when I or others parents either late or drop of the kids or pick up kids early. If they don’t know something, they won't go out of their way to help you find out. The school lacks diversity in its programming: no bilingual program such as Chinese or Spanish (being in a very diverse community) and no special education support, no self contained classes . There is ICT classes though. It feels as though they aren't interested in accommodating special need families. They just want you travel further to another school cause the new principal simply doesn’t care. Did I mention there’s no science cluster teacher for years? The class teacher can only cover the minimum and they are not even specialized in Science. Remember we have Science state test for 5th grade. Good luck to those graduates who are entering middle schools with weak fundamentals of science. The playground is tiny with no grass, and the school spirit is low due to a lack of fun activities. Teachers are a mixed bag, some are very responsible and amazing, while others are just doing the bare minimum. You may expect response from those teachers after 2 years when you Dojo them.
