Over the course of several years and with 3 kids attending this school--2 still currently enrolled--we've grown increasingly disappointed with the administration's lack of responsiveness, compassion, and proactive care. When compared with similarly categorized schools nationwide, this institution falls short. The recurring pattern has shown a troubling disregard for students' wellbeing and a reluctance to collaborate with parents, no matter how thoughtful or well-intentioned the feedback. Our concerns date back 4 years, when our oldest daughter was suspended for simply being honest. She had informed her teacher that while playing, her best friend fell from the bars and injured her arm. Rather than appreciating her transparency and concern for a fellow student, she was punished--a decision that baffled us. 4 years later, daughter 2 began K. Before school started, we voiced concerns about her assigned teacher's cold and standoffish demeanor, knowing full well this would not be a good match for our daughter's personality. The administration asked us to wait a month and see how things developed. Against our better judgment, we agreed. Sadly, the situation deteriorated, and despite our plea for a classroom change, it was denied. The result? Our daughter failed her kindergarten year--a direct consequence of avoidable circumstances. This year, we encountered another issue with our son in 5th grade. A personal conflict made it clear that a different teacher would be a better fit, and we made a formal request. Despite the presence of class vacancies, the administration declined to move him, offering no justification whatsoever. Beyond academic concerns, we also raised serious safety issues. Last year, we expressed that the process for picking up walkers in the parking lot was hazardous. We encouraged them to revise protocols before something unfortunate occurred...ignored. 2 weeks later, a child was struck. Only then were minimal changes implemented--a clear case of reactive management when a proactive approach was both necessary and suggested. We've provided input on 3 critical occasions, each dismissed without meaningful dialogue. 2 of these directly impacted our children, and one led to a kindergarten retention that could have been prevented. Principal Angulo has shown a repeated unwillingness to listen, cooperate, or act in the best interests of the students. It's hard not to conclude that the priority here is not children's wellbeing, but administrative convenience read more
