This school has strengths and areas needing improvement. Learning (3/5): As a STEAM school, I expected more excitement around technology and innovation, but the outright cellphone ban (a district policy) feels like a missed opportunity for creative integration rather than just restriction. Teaching (5/5): The teachers are outstanding, they are supportive, patient, and clearly passionate about their students. Social-Emotional Support (3/5): While Wellness Wednesdays exist, my child doesn’t understand their purpose. I wish there were more consistent SEL activities during lunch a few days out of the week like how other schools offer. Safety (2/5): The principal’s dismissive attitude toward lockdowns is alarming; she often downplays them ("no big deal"), and parents are rarely notified in real time, we usually find out after school. Given the neighborhood’s challenges, this lack of transparency is unacceptable. If lockdowns are frequent, why isn’t there a better communication system, especially since kids can’t use phones to contact families. Family Engagement (2/5): While some teachers and staff make genuine efforts to build community, the principal’s leadership undermines trust. In a Title 1 school serving predominantly low-income families, her display of luxury-brand attire and accessories feels tone-deaf at best and at worst, reflects a disconnect from the realities of the families she serves. Combined with her dismissive approach to safety concerns, it creates an environment where parents don’t feel heard or valued. A leader who prioritized humility, transparency, and proactive communication could transform this school’s culture—but right now, those qualities are lacking.

I would recommend this school. The staff and environment os ideal for any student.
