I LOVE THE SCHOOL LOVE THE TEACHERS

Good school. Would attend. They seem to actually care.

As an alum, I can attest to severe negligence regarding physical/emotional bullying from both students and teachers, as well as regarding the presence of racial slurs/hate symbols/blatant prejudice. Security cameras "turned off" when reporting attempted pushing down the stairs, "hands tied" when teacher explicitly refused to provide a specific student with equal resources as classmates, teacher/students laughing when reporting visual evidence of swastikas in a practice room, mental health professionals accusing students of lying when seeking support for a mental health crisis, etc. The school culture is one of distrust, hostility, and burn out. The school looks clean and has the funds to afford nice materials/equipment, but the resources do not make up for the inability to foster and maintain a healthy learning environment. Myself and several other students suffered significantly under the care of Webster Schroeder, punished and forgotten when emotional functioning declined and academic performance dropped, and were only able to move forward because administration required teachers to provide a passing grade for public statistics. Do not send your child to this school if at all possible. The few teachers I had who were kind divulged that even they wanted to leave, if not for the guilt of leaving students who had no choice. This school is in need of significant reform that it has shown no willingness to admit or deal with.
