The woman at the front desk, she is an unwelcoming person. Continually shouting at parents and students. The initial time I walked in there I heard her screaming on the school's phone at some parent, I didn't want to bother her but I needed to drop off my child papers for her school. She gave me a very rude judgemental look. Then said She wouldn't let me drop them because ´´she didn't put her last name.f´´. After putting my last name, I wasn't going to sit there and argue with her so I delivered it myself. Also, there is a certain substitute teacher that makes my daughter cry each time she comes home because the sub hates 6th graders, I talked to one of the teachers about it and all they could say was that ´´She gets things done.´´. My friend's daughter who also goes here is having the same issues, she cannot speak English, but she has an iPad that takes pictures and translates words on paper for her, The substitute makes everything hard for her and since the class my friend's daughter was in had some kind students who quietly translated things the teacher said when she didn't write them down. Well, of course, the substitute would not let them help her and some kids tried to explain how she didn't speak English but she didn't listen and the sub harassed my friend's daughter the rest of the class and she couldn't focus, so she failed the test they had the next day. I'm not done yet though, they need to get the bus situation fixed soon. My 6th grader comes home saying that she shares a bus with the high schoolers and they do inappropriate things, why do the high schoolers share the same bus as middle schoolers anyway? You know how high schoolers are.

I have worked with both the teachers and the students here for over a month now. It is evident to me that the staff provides a safe and caring learning environment for the children. The children respond well to this and I am very encouraged to see the growth in their character.
