Southfield Elementary School

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this school. The academic expectations are far too low, and many students are not being pushed to reach their full potential. It is very concerning that so many children are struggling with basic reading skills without consistent support or intervention.There also seems to be a lack of structure and stability. My child has frequently had substitute teachers, which creates inconsistency in the classroom and disrupts learning. Classroom behavior and student disrespect often go unchecked, making it difficult for children who truly want to learn.Communication from administration has also been discouraging. Instead of working collaboratively with parents to find solutions, concerns are often met with defensiveness or dismissiveness. Parents deserve to be spoken to with respect and treated as partners in their child’s education.Every child deserves a safe, structured, and academically challenging environment. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience here. I truly hope the school takes steps to improve leadership, communication, and academic standards for the sake of the students.
