This school is completely and utterly disorganized, and the leadership must be held accountable. There is a constant lack of communication, and staff members are frequently left unsure of what is happening in the building. This ongoing dysfunction directly impacts students, especially in a neighborhood where children are already marginalized and rely heavily on strong, consistent leadership. Instead, what they experience is confusion, inconsistency, and a lack of direction.Both the principal and the assistant principals in this building should be placed under investigation. The level of disorganization and disconnect is not occasional. It is persistent. There is little evidence that leadership is aware of what is happening day to day, and even less evidence that concerns raised by staff, students, or families are taken seriously or addressed with urgency.It is particularly alarming that bullying continues to occur despite the presence of parent coordinators and designated bullying liaisons. These roles exist to protect students, yet incidents continue while leadership appears unaware or unresponsive. Students are left navigating harmful situations without the support they deserve, and staff are left without clear guidance or follow-through.Our students deserve better. They deserve a safe, structured, and responsive school environment where leadership is present, informed, and accountable. When leadership fails to communicate, fails to respond, and fails to protect students, it creates an atmosphere where problems grow and students suffer. It is frustrating, disheartening, and unacceptable that this level of dysfunction continues without intervention.
