Discovery Community School

The staff at Arrowhead Elementary have been absolutely incredible. It has been such a welcoming, warm, and adaptive environment for our little guy. From the principal to the teaching aides to the PTA I can't begin to tell you how pleased we have been with this school.

The teachers from this school favorite the smarter, more “popular” kids. They talk to them in class and ignore the rest of the kids. The staff in the counseling and principal positions hide from parents and avoid confrontation. The staff almost always believes teachers over children no matter what, even with multiple other children confirming. Some teachers will even bully the students they find less favorable and likable, and nothing is done about it, because they won’t believe the children. The bullying among the actual children is awful, and passive.

I am deeply disappointed with Cedar Park Elementary. My experience has been very negative, especially regarding how students treat one another.This school has a serious problem with student behavior and peer interactions. The lack of resources is evident and is reflected in the school’s inability to properly handle conflicts and mistreatment among students. There are no clear or effective protocols in place, and most concerning of all, these issues are often ignored instead of being addressed with urgency.It is unacceptable for a school to fail to provide a safe and respectful environment for children. That responsibility is not being fulfilled here.I expect the school to take responsibility and implement immediate and concrete actions to correct this situation.
