wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy

Im not sure why all the bad reviews. Second yr I've had a child at this school. While we have run into a couple of issues with a teacher here or there, it has been nothing too alarming and we have worked out out fine. Ms Hunter, the guidance counselor is great. She's very quick to respond and has been very supportive of getting a 504 in place for my child who has a chronic health condition. The principal has been very supportive as well. My child has loved a couple of their teachers a great deal both yrs and been indifferent to all but one teacher each yr that she didnt particularly like --but reasons again, were nothing alarming or hard to work out. Child is learning, feels safe, and so-far I've felt the environment is healthy and helpful for her and I. Only real complaint from kiddo is that sometimes the bathroom is a mess and smells like smoke.

From my experience, this school is extremely substandard. They are more interested in raising money than actually educating the children entrusted to their care. They are constantly asking for money for one nonessential thing or another. My child’s entire kindergarten experience was of him being sent home for behavior issues instead of actually addressing what was causing the issues. They completely ignore parental boundaries—we are a limited screen time household, which I made abundantly clear, and they totally ignored and used iPad time as a reward. Punishment is also doled out unjustly to kids with certain medical diagnoses. My child has been recently diagnosed with ADHD/ASD1 which has some behavioral symptoms. Now the “safety officer” is called if my child even frowns (not an exaggeration). He is now petrified at the sight of police officers. I will be homeschooling from here on out. I do not recommend this school.
