Best thing ever, great, awesome, and intellectual

Unfortunately, my experience with this school’s principal Mrs Rivero has been very disappointing. On multiple occasions, she has addressed parents in a disrespectful and dismissive manner. Concerns that were raised calmly and appropriately were met with an unprofessional tone rather than empathy or collaboration.As a parent, it’s upsetting to feel talked down to or brushed aside when advocating for your child. School leadership should model respect, open communication, and partnership with families, and that has not been my experience here.I hope the administration takes parent feedback seriously and works on improving how concerns are handled and how parents are spoken to.

This school provided substandard education for my child who managed to excel despite poor teacher retention and marginally qualified substitute teachers for several classes, one for almost the entire year in a core class. Some Excellent teachers that have taught in the County for years are considering leaving this school due to administration.
