Well-intended staff members (some more than others), but overall chaos. Unfortunate result in a policy landscape where a public school draws primarily from immediate local demographics but school "choice" allows many to flee to higher-scoring schools in the area. The local community has also been resistant to boundary realignment. The remaining demographic would highly benefit from trauma-informed strengths-based staff members, but many instead are in survival mode. Standards are not high. Staff seem to be left looking for shortcuts and focusing on the negative, lacking attention to individualized (and special education) care, and otherwise not creating an environment for children to prosper. Not the worst school in the world, and I could say positives and negatives on both administration and frontline staff, plus they certainly could use more support, but this is not a school where many children would thrive, sadly.
