horrific and inadequate early childhood/kindergarten teachers who demonize young children and expect incoming kids to possess a full set of life skills. My child is unfortunately zoned in this school and is gifted. That means absolutely nothing as no one can tolerate teaching these children Anything other than the curriculum. This school centers around the teacher, not the child. Every accommodation is made for the teachers in an effort to ease their workload while children are reprimanded for small infractions such as having to be redirected. Normal and appropriate childhood behaviors are labeled as disabilities even when the child has been evaluated. Teachers do not want to apply themselves and complain and gossip with each other. The teachers are quick to refer for an IEP when not needed even though there are 2 to 3 teachers per class with a minuscule amount of students. They look to assess children for small things such as not knowing how to share or sit still in their seats-at 4 or 5 years old. They repeatedly reprimand and traumatize gifted and academically advanced students with absolutely no positive reinforcement, looking to get through their day as quickly and as easily as possible, ruining small children’s outlook on schools and their self esteem.

I go to this school and it's actually pretty fun here! A lot of the students in my experience are nice and fun! Also if you given this school a bad rating because your child wasn't allowed to bring their phone around, then what do you really expect? A lot of schools restrict phone use anytime during school time for reasons to make sure that no one cheats, or gets off track during classroom time. Close Quote
