This school provided the best four years for my child. The curriculum was challenging and the out of class activities provided were excellent. Would recommend parents enroll their children into this school

My daughter attends this school for TK, and I'm glad she'll be moving to our local school next year for K. TK is divided into early and late sessions (birds), but on special days, they all come at the early time. There have been so many early days that I could imagine it being really disruptive for some families. I telecommute most days, so it hasn't been as much of an issue, but we've kept her out a couple times because of the schedule changes. Also, the changes haven't always been clearly communicated, resulting in situations where one day, I went to drop my daughter off at the normal late bird time, only to be told that it was an early day. Now, maybe I missed something, but there were at least a half dozen other parents there with their kids too, so it wasn't just me. So, my options were to take her home or leave her there for less than an hour and a half...Today, we arrived at the school a few minutes before they close the gates and send kids to the office for late slips. Someone was closing the gates about 3 minutes early. She let my daughter through, then stopped her and took her to the office. There was a line of 'late' kids and parents there well before the time that the gates should have closed, even by the office clock (which was a minute fast). One last thing: for a field trip once, all of the kids came early. We received a message via the Remind app at about 7:50am, informing us that they wouldn't be back until almost an hour after the normal dismissal time. Really!?! The morning of, and we're just being told to adjust our schedules, via an app that many parents may not check until too late. I just can't with this school.

i dont like this school at all. let me just say, it is horrible. for one, the environment. there are fights basically every day, and on the last day of our second trimester, there were 7+ fights that day. also, there are just many bullies and people who harass others, both in plain sight, but rarely anything is done. another is the fact that you dont get the electives you choose. theyre switching this up next year but i suspect itll be the same. for one, you have two electives. although that makes class shorter, it means that there are more unwanted electives you can have. and in my year, when i chose my electives i was excited. but then i looked at my schedule, and i got none of the electives. they say they want you to venture into new paths but that is just absolutely stupid. i want the electives i chose, not the ones you chose for me. and they let you choose backups just in case your main choices are full, yet i didnt get my backup choices. last but not least is the fact that the teachers can seem condescending or passive aggresive. they can also pressure you into stuff. im not gonna name anyone but when choosing my 8th grade electives, i felt like my teacher pressured me into choosing a class i didnt want as it would stress me out. dont get me wrong, there are some great ones (shout out mr. mckelvey, mr. lawrence, mr. best you guys are cool) but still man there are some that are not as good. there are so many more problems i have, like the rotating schedule, their ignorance to the fact that they are part of the reason our test scores are low, all their lies (just in general), but i am half asleep writing this so thats all i'll say.
