We feel fortunate that our son attends our neighborhood elementary school. It’s a nurturing and inclusive environment that prioritizes socio-emotional learning. The teachers and staff are very attentive and compassionate, helping students grow not only academically but also in confidence, empathy, and resilience. The carpool line is impressively organized, making drop-offs and pick-ups smooth and stress-free. We also love the community-building events like movie nights and fall festival. TOur son has a mild peanut allergy, and the cafeteria manager has been incredibly proactive and communicative. The school communicates well with parents and is genuinely receptive to feedback, which we truly appreciate.

In my opinion, the current principal is the most duplicitous person I have ever met.

I am a current student at Green Level High School, and I would strongly urge any parent considering this school to proceed with caution, especially families of non-white students. During my time here, I have witnessed and experienced what I believe to be clear patterns of racial bias. Asian, Black, and Hispanic students are often treated unfairly, while white students appear to receive favoritism. Some teachers openly display this bias in their interactions, grading, and disciplinary decisions.Even more concerning is the behavior of certain staff members who, instead of supporting students, engage in gossip and rumor-spreading about students they don't like. When a teacher dislikes a student, it can escalate into multiple teachers, who are their friends, treating that student negatively, sometimes based on rumors that are shared not only among staff but also with students. This creates a hostile and uncomfortable environment that no student should have to deal with.I and several other students have tried raising concerns, including bringing them to the principal, Ms. Summers. Unfortunately, these concerns have not been taken seriously. In my experience, the administration seems more focused on maintaining the school’s image, especially in relation to district performance and athletics, than addressing serious issues affecting students’ well-being.The school’s high academic ratings are also misleading. There have been ongoing practices where students are given significant guidance on test content beforehand, which inflates performance metrics. This calls into question the validity of the school’s reported success.Overall, while the school may appear strong on paper, my experience suggests deeper issues with fairness, integrity, and leadership. I believe parents deserve to be aware of these concerns before making a decision.
