Oglethorpe St NE

My son went there for two of a total of four weeks . His second week a boy tried to show him his penis under a desk in the library while a subsitute teacher ignored my son’s pleas for help. The admin did nothing . The first week my son got choked and admin told me via the dojo app at 10pm. One teacher kept my son an extra 12 mins after school the first week and didn’t even say hello or introduce himself . got my son out of there asap

Primary concern: SAFETY!!!!… Teachers don’t come to work and the students are pretty much left to do whatever they want on most school days. When a parent calls to complain, the staff argues with the parents in an attempt to dispute and invalidate the complaint. School-wide discipline polices are found to be inconsistent since they are not enforced.

The dedication of the admin staff and teachers is reflected in the students excitement for learning and attending school. My child went from hating school to loving it. Her confidence has skyrocketed. Her motivation to do well in her classes has improved significantly. She talks about college and her future more. She's a part of the junior honors society and volunteers with her teachers and with higher achievement. I know the environment at this school has played a significant role in her turnaround. Parent engagement is also very high here.
