Kintsugi Academy

Great School Great Teachers Great Staff Great Students

My niece was at Foreign Language Academy My niece was having problems my brother moved her to Guadalupe center school she doing much better. Foreign Language Academy Principal is not professional .

We had a few amazing teachers, otherwise I'd give this school one star.One teacher screamed at kids, made fun of them, and had this demeaning behavior chart on her board. Kids who were in the "green" all week got a prize. My child knew he struggled to sit quietly, so he was often in the "yellow" as were most of the boys. What boys sit quietly at 7 years old? Not many...After a particularly good week for him when he was green all week, he went to get his prize and she laughed at him in front of the class and told him to go away. He's a high schooler now and he still remembers how ashamed he felt that day.The emotional trauma your kid will experience isn't worth the language skills they'll pick up. Their written French will be so bad they'll still have to learn it all in a high school class anyways.

I worked at this school from 2023-2024. This was the worst job I've ever had. Some of the kids can't read and admin don't let you know that when they walk in the room. The behaviors are bad and admin doesn't do much about it. I was cursed out multiple times. Low academics, no sports, weak admin, large class sizes. They will graduate kids who haven't even been there the entire semester, high teacher turnover. Teachers don't dress professionally and are extremely unprofessional. Admin are very sketchy....This is just like any other public school in the city except no sports. Don't send your kid here unless they are smart enough because with all the behavior stuff, they won't learn much.
