Legend Springs Elementary School

Do not take your children here. They do nothing about bullying and bad behavior. My child had the worst kindergarten year here. We have now transferred. This school is a total mess.

This has been one of the most disappointing elementary school experiences I have ever encountered. Unfortunately, this concern extends beyond a single issue and includes teachers, office staff, and school leadership. I have personally witnessed staff members behaving in ways that I consider rude and disrespectful toward children, parents, and visitors.It is troubling that children are expected to demonstrate respect toward peers and adults when there appears to be a significant lack of respectful behavior being modeled by some of the adults in the building. Children learn by example, and the current environment does not consistently reflect the standards of respect that are being demanded of them.Additionally, I share the concerns of other parents that incidents of bullying are not being adequately addressed, and that the school often appears to turn a blind eye to these issues.One positive development this year is the principal’s decision to step down, and I hope this leadership change creates an opportunity for meaningful improvement. I sincerely hope the district and Board of Education step in sooner rather than later to ensure that necessary changes are made to better support the students and families of this school.

Awful school... Transferred my daughter here in 5th grade, hoping to have a positive experience.. But haven't everything but that... The teachers gave up on her, they mistreat her because they feel like she has behavioral issues.. which is prob bc they treat her like dirt... It's just been an awful experience.. and don't recommend this school one bit!

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the experience my family has had at this school. After paying a very high tuition and dedicating an entire kindergarten year to this institution, I expected better treatment and professionalism. On graduation day, around 11 AM in 100° weather, the school allowed my son to run around after he had just chugged a bottle of water. Unfortunately, he ended up throwing up due to the heat and dehydration. Instead of understanding the situation, the school suddenly decided to revoke his ability to walk in the graduation ceremony, claiming he might have a virus and that other children shouldn't be exposed.What’s even more troubling is that they did not consider the circumstances under which he threw up. It felt like an arbitrary decision made without compassion or proper judgment. I can’t help but feel like this was retaliation, especially since my son is the only Hispanic child in his classroom, and the overall treatment throughout the year has been difficult and at times discriminatory. The school made his enrollment process very challenging, and this final decision on graduation day feels like a spiteful attempt to sabotage his milestone.Due to these ongoing issues, we’ve decided to move him to a different private school. However, the way this situation was handled has left us deeply disappointed and hurt. It’s unacceptable to treat children and families with such disregard, especially during what should be a joyful celebration.

Bayer has been a gift to our family. My children have been attending since preschool and continue to be successful academically through middle school. They have given my children a love of learning, which is priceless!
