The teaching staff has a handful of very caring teachers for them I am grateful. Other than that no one answers phone calls you will always go to a voicemail and after three years of this school I don’t think I have received more than one return call from a voicemail. Emails are sometimes returned. Guidance refuses to see children they are turned away immediately no matter the concern brought to them, I’ve been ignored when emailing directly to assigned guidance counselors about schedule, making time to see my child and no response I’ve been lucky that I have an email I’ve kept from one person I can sometimes get help from in that department. The principal has taken racial issues that were sensitive and when asked to just discuss with the teacher as not to upset my child or make things uncomfortable for her. He instead forwarded my email and without warning as well received a mid day phone call that the school or teacher was prepared to call for while I was moving heavy equipment. Again the teacher was nice respectful and we both were able to to see some things from both of our own perspectives. Now my child is grieving the loss of her grandfather. We are a military family we live here with only our immediate household. The school has a counseling program that states it covers a vast range of things and is paid for by the DOD department of defense. The school has harassed and accused my daughter about says she has been late during this time and with a note she was brought down to the office and blamed for there actions of not having her in the system. She has no way to access the school without them letting her in scanning her card and giving her a pass. The principal offered no condolences, no referral to the program or ask if our daughter needed anything. The month prior felt to share a family loss and I’m sure felt supported but that is how he treats the community. Good afternoon,When I receive an email about a situation in the class, I always forward the email to the teacher and the evaluating administrator. The teacher is the one who is in the class with the students. The teacher touched base with me after he spoke with you. No, I do not have a bias against Native Americans.As far as the latest issue, I will get with our administrator, who oversees attendance and or attendance secretary, tomorrow, and someone will give you a call. ThanksCold, uncaring and hyped up as a great principal but helps only who he wants, or what’s good for a photo.

Several issues when considering employment for this school.1. lack of diversity in the teaching staff2. Lack of Minority Male teachers3. The poor reviews of the school since 20154. A former employee stated a lack of integrity among the administration.

I go to this school and the fights are crazy. There is a fight every week and even when the students tell them that someone is trying to fight them the do nothing about it. I have learned more in elementary than here. All the teachers do is yell and threaten to call admin. They assign way to much homework and never teach. Im a athlete and play 3 sports for opj and the coaches are probably the beat thing about the school. This school has changed me in a negative way. My innocence was taken away at this school and i will never be the same.
