I also Volunteer Coached and ran Clubs. Parents and kids, despite any challenges, were always grateful to me. I had countless positive relationships with kids. I would report SPED needs and Gifted kids for years; reports and support was ignored. The School Board, Superintendent, HR and OSPI ignored my issues with discrimination and staff-bigotry and abuses and also denied me Equal Opportunity to Student Teach, despite having teachers willing to take me. My Masters was discarded. Nepotism and Favoritism: Coaches and family are given prime opportunities ahead of everyone. Again: Merits ignored. Sports, Money and Raises are chief focus at district; look up Education Stats and Salaries; follow your money. Silent Retaliation against me, discovered by Admin I knew; I was told and confronted HR... Suspended then fired.

I'm using an anonymous account because I fear for my job. IEP's are not followed, Students do not receive the support that they need and the staff are toxic.

Maybe it's a school that doesn't believe in using bleach. Or maybe they don't clean it Friday afternoons. I don't understand.

First impressions of this school,…read more I'm a student writing this at rooted, this is their first year as an open school for freshmen, so far the teachers have been amazing and open to identity, sexual orientation, mental health, and more. I've been attending Rooted for about a month 1/2, and the education and student directed time is very helpful. I've always struggled in school and the teachers have not failed to help my education grow. Currently, the school consists of about 2 classrooms that are used as there are about 25 of us. There is also a commons room, then next to the commons is a office for a break room if a student is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just needs a break there are tools to help. There's also a therapy dog, he's in training but his name is potato. He really helps with anxiousness. The school is working on students already for next year, I'm gonna come back in 6-7 months and I'll update everyone on if my opinion stands, there's more to add but for now this is good. Side note - my teenager is the author above. From my standpoint, as a parent, I feel this school is a blessing. My student feels seen here and the staff are inclusive and respectful. I regularly receive communication from them and because it is just a small freshman class, there is a feeling of closeness, like a tight knit community of leaders and teachers who are working tirelessly to see that our kids are getting the best education and support that they possibly can. I adore the ladies who work in the office, the director is welcoming and communicative, and the teachers all go by first names. There is so much more to tell but suffice it to say that at this point, I would recommend Rooted School to anyone who wants their child to succeed.

But I do put a small amount of blame on this school simply because of the staff. The staff do pick favorites, believe it or not. The way they teach is either lazy, uncoordinated, or messy. Many teachers have gotten me into trouble from simply losing my paper or forgetting to grade to having too many papers to grade. They are unorganized. The thing I hated most about this school was the favoritism. It is unbelievable. And to this day, they still do it. My brother currently goes there, and he's in 10th grade. He agrees. and his friends agree. Most teachers, especially if they don't really know you, are rude. The councilors are the worst. Well mine was. The Hawaiian guy. Geez... Talk about "Busy". I even told him one time my household was under abuse, and that's part of the reason my grades sucked. And he STILL didn't help me. I would request to see him and when I checked on it all the other papers were gone, mine was still in his box, and there were a few new ones. They pick favorites FIRST. They caught a star basketball player smoking pot on school property, and let him play after 3 months when he was suppose to sit out longer. But my brother couldn't play for a few weeks because he had one D and almost to a C.... RIDICULOUS. And the kids are rude too.
