this school is way overhyped. Most of staff are either really underqualified or burnout by admin. Admin tries to make the place the same way that it used to be, but it just isn’t ever since their leadership has changed. Master students feel forgotten in the ratio that the list is a lie. It is more like 29:1 it really needs to be talked about because I feel like it’s not talked about enough and it’s just gonna keep getting worse and worse if nothing happens! most students do not enjoy their time there they either wanna go online or transfer because I feel like it would be easier because the workload is crazy for what they are getting back. It’s rilly sad.

The school was great. But one thing that really bothered me are some of the teachers. Some of them wouldn’t teach and some of them had clear favorites. But most of the teachers were awesome and respected us. Fortunately, everyone was nice to each other and from my perspective there was no bullying.

Concerns persist about the safety of the playground at Green Belt, where children often play amidst potential hazards. The area is known for its population of poisonous snakes and lizards, posing a significant risk to young adventurers. Compounding the issue, supervision by teachers is notably lax, leaving children vulnerable to accidents and injury.Incidents are frequently addressed re-actively, with emergency services summoned only after an unfortunate event occurs. The playground itself is strewn with stones and rocks, creating a hazardous environment where children are left unsupervised. This lack of oversight increases the likelihood of accidents, whether through falls or the actions of other students, who may inadvertently or intentionally cause harm.Despite repeated concerns raised by parents and caregivers, the school remains steadfast in its reluctance to amend its policies regarding supervision and playground safety. While advocating for independence in play, the current setup jeopardizes the well-being of young learners, potentially resulting in severe injuries such as eye damage from errant stones or getting bitten by a poisonous snake. Since my kids have been in the school I have heard of 4-5 serious stone injuries.Addressing these safety concerns is paramount to ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for all students. Proactive measures, including enhanced supervision and the removal of hazardous materials from the playground, are essential steps towards safeguarding the well-being of our children.
