Catholic High School

This is my first time having a bad experience w schools although my son is in kindergarten. First and foremost when first moving into the neighborhood I called to see if this was the proper school for him to attend the office secretary is definitely rude she didn’t want to give me any information barely wanted to talk and rushed me off of the phone saying just come into the school w what I have and talk to the principal because I didn’t have a second form of residency although I had my lease and everything thing else that is needed I dislike how rude the staff can be especially front office personnel as well as women greeting you at the door in the morning when dropping kids off to school, I’ve been told I’m not able to come into the school upon dropping my son off at school in the mornings in which this is a new (larger) school than he is used to as well as a new area for my son so if walking him into school to insure his safety and calming him emotionally to help him feel comfortable that’s what I’m going to do as a parent I don’t linger around I understand this is a school other parents are dropping off as well as he needs to get to class on time my overall experience is ok after you get passed the rudeness of some of the personnel

Many of the teachers are great, but many are also bullies. They label certain children and treat them according to the labels. They gossip about students and parents, then retaliate when parents raise concerns. The administration has failed to communicate effectively with parents about serious issues. The teachers are stressed out and have gone rogue. The schools culture is toxic and depressing. Teachers have been heard yelling at the children and saying inappropriate things to students. Students with disabilities are often denied their rights to a Free and Equitable Public Education, as required by law. Great opportunity for the children, but it comes with a cost to pay emotionally.

I heard so many great things about this school and I absolutely regret sending my child here. The arts department is great but the core classes work these kids too hard. They get piled on with endless homework and then the tests are often not even listed in the agendas. There is poor communication between the teachers and parents. The admin does not address problems properly. IEPs are ignored. Where is this glorious school which I heard so much about?
