Not once has my kid come home and told me what they’ve learned, nor have they exhibited knowledge that I could presume came from their class. The classes are overrun with unruly kids and teachers that are checked out from their responsibility. The principal can do absolutely nothing to control violent kids and will tell you “it’s a public school, we have to have a space for everyone.” They have a policy that stops them from speaking with you as a parent about any other kid in class. This helps them essentially do nothing about any recurring violence because it’s impossible to pin down the problem. Despite this rule, I have heard from a fellow parent that the teacher put blame on my kid for starting the problem. We’ve had the teacher and principal in a meeting and told them to let us know if our kid was at all creating this problem and they both assured us they were not. The teacher, I know has a problem with how the class was run but was essentially a ventriloquist doll in the meeting, afraid to say anything the principal would not be happy with. We were excited to have our kids in this school, but with the lack of transparency, and reluctance to put safety and learning above all else, we have become totally disenchanted with the school and it’s leadership.

I used to go to this school and now that I’m older I realize how I would be able to sue y'all. I’m not sure about now but back then the principal would threaten to call the cops on me if I would talk. I was a kid I wasn’t that smart so of course I would stay quiet, she also forced me to stay in a room alone and do work for a whole month alone, with no teacher I had no recess either and I got blamed for something that I didn’t even do, probably even because my skin color I don’t know where the old principle is but if I were to find her she’s getting sued for what she put me thru as a child.

My only quibble about this school was how they did looped years. Before enrolling my son in 2nd grade, I was informed about it, but I assumed it was K-1, 2-3, 4-5. I enrolled my son as a new student but what I was not told was that looping started in grade 1. My fault for not asking questions, but boy did it make the adjustment period very difficult on my kid. I would not have enrolled him if I had known that he would be the only new student in a classroom with a a full year of established routines and friendships. Thank God we got over that.
