I was a student athlete, I graduated in 2022. I had a great time at Shadle park and and thankful I went there.

While the PTA is very strong at this school the focus is academia only, the concept of teaching a love of learning, active play, and even recess is once a day for all grades. Zero elements are in place to support children with bullying and working through problems since the efforts are mostly test scores and meeting standards. Each kid hated school severely after attending and won't go back. Several parents I've talked to have had similar experiences. The admin needs to change before this school can thrive.

Overall, my experience with Flett has been frustrating. The administration does not provide consistent support to staff, students, or families. They tend to operate as if they’re above accountability, often playing by their own set of rules rather than what’s best for the school community.There are a few staff members who genuinely care and put in the work to support students—but unfortunately, they’re the exception, not the norm. Communication is often poor, concerns get brushed off, and it’s hard to feel like families are actually being listened to, let alone valued as partners.The school has potential, but right now it’s being held back by a lack of strong, ethical leadership and meaningful family engagement. I wouldn’t recommend Flett without serious changes.
