    It is heavy to leave this review. My son spent 5 years too long here. I should have taken him out…read moreat the first slight of disappointment. The fact that multiple teachers leave after a year (or two) and people tend to pull their kid out of this school speaks volumes for itself. This is a school where the "name" exceeds the experience. As a very involved parent, whose child is was also a minority here, there was a lot of nitpicking that went on and pointing out things in my child that I would see in other children volunteering yet it doesn't seem like anything was done for the other children as far as disciplinary actions. Ms. Wallin is also a problem, she plays favorites and watch out if you or your kid isn't one of them. There is unfairness that goes on with administration and some teachers. They hold kids accountable for things they did in Kindergarten, even if it's been years, unfavorable kids must be perfect. I remember being so excited when my child got into Uplift North Hills feeling like he was going to be supported mentally, emotionally, and academically. I've had teachers tell me they take their children out of this school before middle school and high school so 'their kid to be a kid'. If you don't want your kid to be well rounded with sports, social skills, and experiences, along with academics, welp.. this may be the school for your child.

    School administrator colluded with my ex-wife to hinder my parental rights to my son. Officials…read moredidn't even care to ask or communicate with me and had me removed from the school for trying to maintain my parental rights. They will degrade, discard you and completely ignore your request for anything that you might be requesting.

    DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE The Lionettes program was very disappointing. I felt like some students…read morewere treated unfairly, and there was constant negativity and favoritism. Miss Reyes often came across as rude and unsupportive instead of encouraging, and it made dance stop feeling enjoyable for many students. A teacher should inspire confidence, not make students feel discouraged or embarrassed and not only that she has also stole over 20 thousand dollars in fund raisers which is absolutely crazy knowing the lionettes worked hard for that just for it to randomly go missing yea okay. The administration also seemed inconsistent with discipline. Mr ivan cedillio treated many color groups blacks and whites differently than others, and punishments did not always feel fair. Instead of listening to student concerns, it often felt like issues were ignored. Academically, some teachers did not seem to care whether students succeeded. Assignments that were turned in would sometimes not get graded properly or they were to lazy to even grade it and just give you a big fat 0, and communication with students could be frustrating. The school food was also bad most of the time -- freezer burned, low quality, and not enjoyable at all. On top of that, the student environment could be very disrespectful and draining. Not every teacher was bad. The dance company teacher was actually supportive and passionate about students succeeding, which made a huge difference. But overall, my experience at this school was negative, stressful, and disappointing. I would seriously think twice before joining programs like Lionettes, cheer, softball, or other activities here.

    We went to the Carrollton wind Symphony at this school. Lots of parking close to the door. Seats…read morewere comfortable and sound system was excellent. I look forward to going to more presentations at this school.
