Our experience with this school and its staff has been nothing short of devastating. Our son entered first grade(in 2023) as a happy, affectionate, easygoing kid — within months, he was unrecognizable. The environment took such a toll on him that he grew persistently sad, took blame for things that weren't his fault, and found himself apologizing on reflex even when he hadn't done anything wrong.The teacher let him down in every way imaginable. Instead of stepping in to help, she suggested he had a mental health diagnosis that no professional had ever confirmed or even evaluated. It felt less like genuine concern for his wellbeing and more like a push to label him and medicate him simply to make him more convenient to handle in class. They tried to build a record on him with no backing. He was bullied and punched in the face with zero consequences for the child who hit him. He was not safe. They disregarded his concerns and showed repeated evidence of racist prejudice towards him and despite my crying out for understanding and support, my concerns were ignored by staff and upper administrators. School leadership offered no better. The assistant principal never once contacted us about our concerns. The counselor, who was new to the position, gave us no meaningful help and never circled back. When we took our complaints to the superintendent, they were brushed aside entirely, leaving us with no further options to pursue.By the end of it, our son walked away sad, frustrated, and without a single new skill gained academically. We have spent the past year homeschooling and repairing the damage done by this school and it’s staff and rebuilding our sons self esteem. This school was a disappointment from top to bottom, with staff who matched it every step of the way. I wouldn't wish this experience on any other family. Protect your children and send them anywhere else.
