Thursday, September 9, 2010

This is the worse school ever!! Please don't be fooled by test scores. They are after scores and ratings 1st! They don't care about the children. If you are considering sending your child to this school for kindergarten DON'T! You will regret it. They have no compassion for a child's early childhood development emotionally. They scared my daughter. She has nightmares. The teacher, principal and staff will come together against you if they feel you are a threat to the false imagine of a high achieving school. There are so many transfers out of this school. The staff will go so far to lie on you and drag your reputation through the mud. They will call dcfs on you in a malicious attempt to get you for speaking out about the way they treat your child. THIS SCHOOL IS A LIE! If you love your children don't send them to bronzeville.
