We initially thought this was a great school, but over time, severe safety, cultural, and academic issues became apparent. Administration consistently prioritizes the school's reputation over student well-being. Severe Bullying & Dismissed Violence Bullying is very rampant, and administrators sweep physical fights under the rug. My child was punched in the face during a PE activity of tag for catching another student in the game, which leadership dismissed as an "accident." On multiple occasions, another student hit my child under direct teacher supervision; the teacher did not care, and leadership dismissed it as well. These are not isolated incidents but is instead a culture actively fostered. Physical Staff Outbursts Some teachers get physical with students. A school counselor violently yanked a desk, causing a student to fall. Another teacher pulled multiple students' arms. Despite video verification and multiple student reports, that teacher is still employed. Administration only offered to switch the reporting students' classes rather than taking disciplinary action even after receiving video verification through school security cameras. Academic Neglect & Discouragement There are many kindhearted and great teachers but we have experienced many that were in favor of the bare minimum. They assign excessive homework on content barely or even completely uncovered in class, straining parents. When my student advocated for tutoring in a challenging subject as they received in the past before, their teacher completely rejected them. After I stepped in to tutor my child at home, the teacher explicitly accused my child of cheating multiple times and destroyed their confidence in a subject they were trying hard to master. Unreported Missing Students During student dismissals, multiple students have gone missing. Administration hides these incidents. While waiting for my own child who was released late, I witnessed teachers frantically searching for two missing students (one a kindergartener) who had left school grounds. The school never communicated this to the parents, likely because the affected family did not speak English. Hypocritical Food Confiscation Under the guise of "healthy eating," staff completely confiscates students' lunches and snacks without warning, including whole-food snacks and PB&Js. Disturbingly, leadership admitted these snacks are given to the staff to eat because "the staff works so hard" when students questioned why staff can eat unhealthy things but the students can't. Confiscated lunches are never replaced, leaving children hungry, even though the cafeteria serves the exact same items. When students point this out, staff has told them that it's not PB&J sandwiches they're serving, but sunflower butter ones which is contrary to their school menu that states they serve both in their cafeteria. On another occasion, staff was selling chip bags and then confiscating the same chip bags later since they were unhealthy. This hypocritical policy meant to "demonstrate school health guidelines" is only selectively enforced based on opportunistic gain rather than from a place of genuine concern for student wellbeing. Inappropriate Political & Ideological Pressure Staff aggressively pushes personal political ideologies on young children. During a gender discussion, my 6th grader stated she was happy being a girl. The teacher targeted her in front of the class, stating, "Are you sure? That's kind of boring, you can be a boy too," repeatedly putting her on the spot. In another incident, a teacher asked students who their parents voted for, then declared to the class that all white ethnic people are racist and that they would never vote for a white politician. This school jeopardizes child safety for appearances, fosters unchecked bullying, permits physical outbursts from staff, and pressures children with political speech and peer pressure. Parents, please talk to your kids about what is really happening in school. read more

Love this school. Staff is very friendly. Great sports program and afterschool programs.

This place is TERRIBLE! The staff has no idea what to do, they give parents the run around. They LIE, boy do they LIE! They change "rules/regulations" at the drop of the hat. You do EVERYTHING they ask of a parent/guardian, then they change it to their own discretion. But the lies are the worst. They cover their own rear end's, not matter what the truth is! They do not " check " people who are doing wrong, they check those they think they can bully into submission... read more

This is a terrible school! one of the worse schools we have attended while some have had a good experience my 2 daughters and my granddaughter have had a terrible time they have experienced racism,battery/violence they have been denied food when they were hungry i mean damn you guys don't have an apple a banana a cracker so if u don't have nothing at home and your late you will starve until lunch. Every single thing that they do at that school cost 65 dollars and up I don't care if they were making paper dolls its gonna cost u 65 and up my 2nd graders teacher is one of the most horrible person my daughter told me that if she comes in late her teacher makes it a point to wrap it up for breakfast when my child comes and the teacher tells her she is too late to eat breakfast his grading techniques are horrible.i went to pick my granddaughter up and her teacher calls her by another name and my granddaughter doesn't like it but the teacher blatantly told me she is basically going to keep calling her that even tho my granddaughter doesn't like and she laughed about it.i thought this school would be different because of its diversity but I was totally wrong this school is total trash who ever the principal/director is they bleeping suck. read more
