A deeply disappointing school experience:1. Poor communication: There is no proactive engagement with parents. We were left to independently search for basic information about school activities and requirements.2. Inadequate teaching: Assignment instructions are vague and poorly explained. The teachers appear disinterested in genuinely supporting the students’ learning. After an entire year, my child still struggles to read because no one provided individual assistance or focused attention.3. Bullying issues: My child, an immigrant, endured relentless bullying and verbal abuse from classmates. Over the course of the year, they learned offensive language and were subjected to daily harassment. Despite these issues, teachers failed to intervene or address the harmful behavior, leaving my child to face a hostile environment alone.This school fails to provide a safe and supportive learning space for its students. Leadership and accountability seem absent, and the principal appears ineffective in addressing these critical issues. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this school to anyone.
