Bright Futures Academy

Do not send your child to this school as long as the principal and assistant principal are there. They speak to people in the rudest way and think it's ok. I've written downtown on them several times and nothing has changed. I removed my child and you should to.

Our scholars are entering into first grade and this will be their 3rd year here. All of our home room teachers have been receptive of any/all assistance given. A lot of STEAM enrichment programs from hydroponics to chickens! Administration seems receptive to feedback and community engagement.

This school is horrible, teachers are so disrespectful to students and the teaching is terrible and majority of the female teachers like to argue with students just for entertainment or just to get them in trouble to lie and make a large deal, they love to be gossip with students or with other co workers and cause bigger problems. Most teachers don’t even teach they just do slideshows and give out work without explaining, Some teachers treat bad students with more respect and they will receive more rewards than other students that actually trying to maintain good behavior or trying to stay out of stuff. Most students aren’t able to read or write, it’s always fights daily. Disrespecting others and trying to get a reaction out of others. The school in general is genuinely disgusting, there would be mold on the ceilings, food on the waterfountain or spit, there would be rats inside the ceilings or dead bugs on floor daily. The food is terrible there can be mold on the fruits or food and the food would be gummy or undercooked. The lunch ladies are worse they are disrespectful to students and not caring what to give to the students. Some male and females have questionable relationships with the students. The restrooms most of the time have feces smeared on the walls or the sinks, they restrooms have holes inside the stalls making it easy for people to see or watch people use the restroom, and not providing soap or toilet paper daily. The janitors are lazy too, Janitors curse out some students because of the slightest things and they just talk and barely does any work while just staying miserable. The school does not suspends or expels students for not the right amount of time. For example students fought and they get suspended for 1-2 days instead of 10 days or more, this school also lets anybody in without checking for any weapons creating a risk of some students getting hurt making an unsafe environment for students. The nurses doesn’t even do their job or rarely even comes to do their job. The front office ladies are so disrespectful to others coming in trying to greet them or trying to ask questions.

Throughout my tenure, I had the unfortunate opportunity to witness concerning issues and a toxic work environment that persistently plagued this institution. Foremost, the recurring problem of delayed payments for staff is unacceptable, and expecting employees to continue working diligently without timely remuneration is highly disrespectful and has caused significant frustration and demoralization among the staff.Moreover, handling conflicts and breakdowns in communication by the head staff is cause for great concern. Instead of addressing concerns and promoting respectful dialogue, there was a dismissive attitude, prioritizing other matters over resolving the issue at hand. This approach only exacerbates tensions within the workplace. Adding to the list of concerns is the apparent mismanagement of resources and questionable relationships between certain individuals. Additionally, the blurring of personal and professional boundaries raises further doubts about the integrity and professionalism of the leadership team.Based on my experiences, I cannot conscientiously recommend The LIFE School to parents seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their children's education. It is crucial that these issues are addressed promptly and effectively to create a positive and conducive learning environment for both students and staff.
