Solomon Schechter Day School

This school has a new principal and lord do we miss our previous principal. There is a complete disregard for the emotional support and understanding of lack of diversity. My child has been made fun of because of the color of his skin..and nothing was done. As a matter of fact the principal and staff told us they should’ve known the moment it was said so it is “believe-able.” Then the moment apparently my son retaliates after a secondary situation, they wanted him to write an apology letter to the student. This principal has her favorites and from my understanding came into this situation in over her head. I hope she can settle into her role with a lot more grace and better resolve for every student and not just the ones she labels as a “problem child.” Keeping students in the office or away from their classroom to do their work for no realistic reason is not proper resolve, investigating students without proper knowledge given to parents is NOT ok. You as the principal are then coming to your own conclusion based on what you see in your face and communicating or as I’ve noticed, interviewing students with questions in your favor to create your own narrative rather than the actuality of what that student is going through. It is not their place to judge but rather to uplift their students progress into becoming their best-self! I hope this school can do better in their upcoming years. I really do.

Both of my children have had a great experience at Webster Hill. Both children had IEP's and were nurtured and guided until they were excited out of the Special Ed program. I can't say enough amazing things about their Special Ed team and teachers. I highly recommend this school to anyone, and the neighborhood is as accepting and friendly as can be.

So I have a Teacher (I’m not gonna say their name) that literally just looses it super fast over a little thing like if we don’t turn in our work on time and they like the boys more than the girls they literally tell the girls to do all the work for example like if we paint they tell the girls to clean up and organize while the boys are just sitting there playing games on their computer. The counselor is kind but we had a discussion on ticks and spiders and I’m afraid of them and they saw me literally shaking and crying but they continued to talk about it. What I’m saying is that they don’t care of people’s fears and don’t care if they are crying, having a breakdown, and literally super mad.. So this was my review. I don’t recommend people that hate shouting, when people get mad at them and need care. Thank you for reading my review! Hope this can help you…
