Halifax Academy

The principal has no control over bullying my daughter was bullied for 3 years on and off I had to call the school bored because the principal doesn't suspended the children or anything my daughter got bullied by an older child at lunch multiple time and spit on at lunch by a older child at lunch ,which leads me to wonder where are the teacher in the cafeteria and what are they doing? The principal will stop answering your calls when bulliny becomes and issues so ve prepared to call the school bored like I did .the traffic is dangerous in that school you can wait an hour near the gate to pick ur child up and parent will park on the grass to cut you off it take an hour to pick up ur child and ur battling parents who keeps trying to cut you off and cuss you our because their no police out their their are cars who will speed around you in the school zone and the amount of time I have almost seen a child get hit is extremely crazy I have begged for the school to have police out their directing the traffic for children and are safety but she doesn't .I have had to call the police a couple of time because the dangerous traffic and the disgusting parents who keeps trying to cut people off to pick up their child and refuse to wait like the rest of the people who goes in line early.

**This is a review you need to read.** Our daughter is behind a bit. We've been through hurricane(s), a house fire, and were homeless for a while. Not jobless. Not broke, but we lost our home to a fire following a hurricane. Every single person at this school has been amazing! Academically it is very focused. There is this synergy, chemistry, and orchestral teamwork that exists from the Principal to the lunch staff. It breaks our hearts that our daughter is in her final year here at Westside. We will miss all of them so much. Do not be frightened from the demographics. We have had our children in paid, private schools, and the so-called richy, rich schools that were **supposed** to be the best. Westside Elementary is hands down the absolute **BEST SCHOOL** any of our children have been to. Tutoring before and after school. iReady, Class Dojo, meetings, and all of them constantly strive to help every single child succeed. There's a strong ribbon of faith that drives this school, and I cannot commend them enough for their proficiency as educators. You will notice every single person there truly cares. Thank you Westside Elementary for everything you do, all that you are, and how you have helped our daughter.
