Experience at this school was terrific. I am a Grandmother who has seen and been involved with many different schools. The support from the leadership of this school concerning my grandchildren has been exceptional.

Summer bus driver is very rude. I ask her a question about the pickup location. Instead of answering my question she told me if I have a problem with it to call Andrea in the office.

I had created this as a Google review, but after speaking to another student who shared their experience with the same bully of a teacher giving the middle finger to a person IN the classroom (who was a student at the time), I wanted to reach out more on other platforms.“Some teachers cared, which I appreciated. But the main point of my review was to make notice of my terrible 1st year at this school due to one teacher. I wasn’t a troublemaker. I was merely a quiet kid sitting in the back. I couldn’t speak up to the office or demand a new teacher. I was too shy. As I got older and graduated college, I now feel the confidence to speak up. I don’t want to call anyone out though. I would just like the school to be aware of what their teachers are doing in hopes of improving. Making us run in the snow during gym is whatever. Having a bloody nose and being given zero help, then told “Don’t get any blood on the new gym floor!” - I don’t care. But one teacher targeted me for reasons such as “she’s quiet”, but I believe I was racially targeted or singled out. Talking about me to classrooms of students (ones I wasn’t even in), making me present a play early and telling all students BUT ME. Not to mention my given role was a chubby girl with no friends?? Now that was just cruel. Having years of experience at a school does NOT give them the right to basically harass students who aren’t able to defend themselves, then laugh about it with the student’s fellow peers. I felt isolated and my grades and mental health plummeted from there. It wasn’t until senior year of hs that I appreciated education more. I would like to thank Ms. Notriano for giving me a huge interest in psychology and giving me the strength to continue my studies. Because of her, I have a minor in psychological research and am now maintaining a 4.0 gpa while studying for my MPH degree. Thank you, Ms. Notriano.I do not wish for any justice or hate toward the teacher. I just hope staff will support their students the best they can. For any future or current students, please do not hesitate to speak up. And also, consider taking AP psych. She makes the class so much fun!”
