We love the building, but it is not enough if the foundation and quality experience is not right. School is not diverse and minority student population are looked over constantly. Representation matters and the staff are primarily whites. Parents really have to be prepared to advocate for their children. I would recommend more training and assessment on bias training for staff frequently - at least on a quarterly basis. Magnet schools have a realistic and positive experience for students. Since many of these schools are by lottery selection, keep focus on the needs of your children and lead the conversations to keep staff and superintendent/head members accountable. Ask for proof of these training and not rely on wording that it is being done. Stigmas needs to disappear especially from South Windsor, so that the gaps in school system will no longer impact the low ratios that you see with minority students and those with disabilities.

As a freshman, the atmosphere is amazing.

For the most part, the teachers are effective. The administration leaves a lot to be desired. The principal does not communicate personally with parents when there is an issue, but has a vice principal handle situations. She is also more concerned about how much money is brought into the school via fundraisers than making sure her staff gives consistent messages to students when new programs are instituted. She wants the students to self advocate, but doesn't validate when they do. I feel that communication is the weakest point.
