A school in a low income neighborhood and it shows. The pushing of homework on kindergarteners to up the schools low test scores, the starting school an hour before every other school, the lack of a kindergarten graduation but every other school has one, the lack of Christmas resources that are provided at other schools, the singling out of certain students in front of the class instead of notifying parents, the lack of communication from officials when there’s an issue with my children, the rude women who work in the front office (more specifically the white woman with the raspy smokers voice), the calling my phone for an “intervention” as if I’m some incompetent mother who can’t get her children to school, the making my 9 and 6 year old put their backpacks in the class before attending the book fair like they’re some criminals walking into a grocery store with a bag, there were hardly any school activities, only one CASUAL dance. Very disheartening to see other parents attending nice dress up dances for their kids, but I never got to. Very disheartening that others got to see their children graduate from kindergarten but the students at this school couldn’t be budgeted in for a graduation and instead are throwing a “celebration” during field week. A bottom barrel type school!
