Tuesday, August 19, 2025

This school is not supportive of children with IEPs or those from multiracial backgrounds. There is a clear pattern of disproportionate discipline: Hispanic and African American students are frequently given detentions for minor infractions, while white students who commit more serious offenses are often let off without consequences. The administration seems more concerned with favoritism and personal connections than with fairness and equity. Families seeking an inclusive and supportive environment should look elsewhere.
