Schafer Park Elementary School

For a Catholic school, this school goes opposite from what God had taught us. Favoritism, bully (not by other students but from teachers), lies (from teachers to cover up for each other or their favorite)! We all paid he same amount tuitions, but yet some kids got treated with better privileges than others. We sent our kids there and even referred others people in a believe that this school will bring good education to our kids. Ended up the teachers are siding with each other and labeled a kid as "trouble student" without giving the students a fair chance to prove themselves. Especially they listened to a teacher that told her students that she's only there for money... not passion! We understand it's not easy to be a teacher (trust me we have enough people in our family that are in child development and education major so we understand the hardship). That's why we always have the utmost respect to teachers, but the behaviors of these teachers made us sick! Our children are now not only afraid of speaking up for themselves (because the teachers always put the blame and accused the students that spoke up or told on bad behaviors), but our children's mental health took a toll as well. Our children now have panic/anxiety attack every morning before school and we have to seek for professional help. Our kids need to see professional therapist to help treat this problem because of all the bully and mental abuse our kids got from this school. We paid for private education so our kids would receive better education, but ended up the education our kids received is no different than public school. I really recommend for you to look around and check feedback from parents that actually have kids attending to this school with no family history of potential favoritism for candid feedbacks. Yelp reviews are deceiving as it did fooled us. Ever since the old principle left, the school hasn't been the same and it's nearly impossible to meet with the new principal. They even violated human rights by not allowing the kids to get water during hot summer day nor use the restroom during class!!! In fairness, the 1st grade teacher and an office admin staff are phenomenal. They were the reason we kept our kids there longer and hope for the better… but I think we all lucked out.
