Horrible experience in every way Disrespectful and disgusting do not go

Well... let's just say this school is okay.Teaching: In all the other reviews I am reading everyone is saying how bad the teachers are, but in my experience I only had amazing ones. I don't think I am supposed to name names about who I had so I won't, but throughout my time here I have only heard a few bad things being said about the school's teachers. Social Emotional Support: I think this school support's students well-being pretty well. I have a friend who struggles with mental health and she told me she feels like she can really open up to her counselors. Each student is a assigned with a counselor and can easily set up meetings if you need to. In the middle of the year every student also submits a form about the social-emotional support at the school and what they think would make it better.Special Education: This school provides a pretty good special education program. There is a program called Helping Hands that some custodians and older students help with for the special education kids. I have also been in class with a few kids from that program and they seemed very happy, each one having their own custodian to help themSafety: Well we do drills and all, but I don't know if the safety is very well. I have seen multiple fights break out, but the adults have come and stopped it pretty quickly, there is like no discrimination at all (in my experience), and they don't give very harsh punishments. As for actually feeling safe, not really because it is an outdoor campus, but at the same time, at what school can you feel safe in at this age?Family Engagement: I feel like the school welcomes familes in learning pretty well! At every event parents can come and sit in the audience. I have also seen the PTA moms go crazy! lol! They also have parent-teacher conferences every quarter, and teachers will call family about your childs grades a lot.Learning: I mean the learning is pretty good. It is obviously not the most exciting thing cuz duh but like it is fine. They have a bunch of apps you can access at any time if a child needs any extra help like IXL or Lexia. But all in all I think this school is pretty good! I personally love being a tuckahoe patriot and I recommend it, and if you are in a different zone school in 5th you can apply to the IB program and you will most likely go here!

The staff are the most arrogant and condescending that we’ve seen in any of the states we’ve lived. Can’t wait to take my daughter out of this school next year.
