Our experience at this school has been incredibly disappointing. My child was in the first grade here, and the classroom environment was completely lacking. The teacher was unengaged, relied on outdated curriculum, and showed very little genuine care for the students' well-being. As a result, my child was constantly bored in class and, worse, subjected to bullying out on the playground.During one severe incident, my child was pushed down a playground slide and sustained multiple scratches and bruises. Shockingly, the school failed to notify us when it happened. Instead, we received a casual call at the very end of the day saying, "Oh, by the way, there was an incident earlier."Because the bullying went unaddressed, we ultimately told our child to stand up and defend themselves. When they finally did, the administration suddenly found the ability to call us immediately to complain that our child hit someone. The double standard and lack of proactive communication are unacceptable.Principal Kim Hollowell is completely performative. While she puts on a friendly facade for parents, our child frequently witnessed her yelling at other students when she thought no one was watching. We approached her multiple times regarding the bullying, even presenting video evidence of other children targeting our child. She was entirely dismissive, stating they were "aware of everything." If the administration is so aware, why is nothing being done to protect the students?We have officially pulled our child out of this school and are enrolling them in Alamosa Elementary, where the staff actually genuinely care about the safety and education of the children. Avoid this school if you value your child's well-being.
