This is our second year here, and I have no doubt my child is receiving a good education. The teachers, thus far, have been excellent. I'll admit, I was a bit turned off by the fact that I was unable to reach my child's teacher directly last year and had to go through the classroom mom to communicate with her.The school is not very diverse, and the parents appear to be quite cliquey. My daughter didn't make tons of friends her first year, but the few she did make seem very solid. I also had a couple of run-ins with one particular office staff member whom I believe to be the Office Supervisor. I have been treated very curtly by her on several occasions, and I have also witnessed her treating other women of color in this manner. Coincidence—or does she address the white moms in the same way?I brought this to the attention of the principal, who said she would address it. I am concerned that there could be some cronyism at play, but time will tell.
