Brinker Elementary School

Although this school is designated as an IB World school, which aims to promote a more peaceful world through understanding and respect, its practices starkly contradict these values. Under the leadership of the unprofessional principal, Jigyasa Sethi, the school environment adversely affects both staff morale and student well-being. Disciplinary actions such as making young children walk laps, isolating them during lunch ("lonely lunch"), and punitive responses to minor infractions undermine the principles of peace and respect the school claims to uphold. Moreover, the school's approach to handling concerns, such as calling security on a grandmother who voiced issues regarding emotional abuse and a lack of proper education, is concerning. With many students spending the year with a substitute teacher, critical educational opportunities are being missed. Parents seeking a genuinely nurturing educational environment might find this school, in its current state, unsuitable for their children.

Well inquiring about the school, wasnt treated with much respect.

My daughter attended Archgate for 6 years. Primary was good. However, during her three years of Lower Elementary, there was a bully in the classroom. Things went from good to worse depending on the behavior of the girl that would bully her and bully other students. The last time I talked about this to the school principal, she said that we needed to have “grace” for the girl that was a bully. After three years of this going on, that was the expectation. So my daughter could be bullied but the expectation for her was to have “grace” give the bully the “opportunity to learn from it”. This knowing that other parents had complained about the same kid for several times. Now, she’s at a school that holds the students accountable and has an actual policy against bullying and does not tolerate it.

This is a corrupt gossip monging school. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a criminal history that is being hidden .
