I would not recommend this school based on our overall experience.Learning: The quality of learning has been very disappointing. Lessons often feel unstructured, and there seems to be little effort to challenge students or provide meaningful feedback. My child frequently comes home confused about what was taught and rarely receives clear guidance on how to improve.Teaching: Many teachers appear overwhelmed and disengaged. Communication about my child’s progress has been inconsistent, and when concerns are raised, they are often minimized or brushed aside. There are a few caring teachers, but overall, the level of support, respect, and motivation is far below what we expected.Social-emotional support: The school does not do enough to support students’ mental health and emotional well-being. Bullying and social conflicts are not handled quickly or effectively, and there are limited resources for students who are struggling emotionally. Students who need extra care often fall through the cracks.Special Education: Support for students with disabilities has been especially troubling. Services and accommodations are delayed or inconsistently provided, and there is a lack of clear communication with families about plans and progress. It does not feel like the school truly understands or prioritizes the needs of students who require special education.Safety: I do not feel that this school consistently provides a safe environment. Incidents of disrespect, bullying, and disruptive behavior are not always addressed firmly or transparently. There is also a lack of visible follow-through when safety concerns are reported, which makes it hard to trust that issues are being taken seriously.Family engagement: Family engagement is weak. When parents reach out with questions or concerns, responses are often slow, brief, or defensive. There are few genuine opportunities for families to collaborate with the school, and decisions that affect students are frequently made without meaningful input from parents.Overall, we are very disappointed and believe that the school requires significant improvements in learning, teaching quality, student support, and communication with families before we can recommend it to others.
