What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 25, 2017

students are allowed to test out of subjects where they are ahead. the teachers try to challenge kids academically by suggesting gifted program and giving higher grade work . teachers are not inspiring, school atmosphere is very boring. most boys in 4th grade are bullying, mean and unkind. teachers do not seem to do anything about this , except saying "do not do this again" . 4th grade boys use lots of swear words and inappropriate language. the principal of the school does not want to believe that these kids can be so potty mouthed and unkind to other classmates. the principal is very proud about the academics, but teaching kids to be kind and good to other people does not seem to be a priority. all in all very disappointed with the school culture. heard this is very common for the mainline - kids being mean and non-inclusive.
parents are not informed about activities/competitions going on at school. there is almost no communication/updates about anything. the school/pta/teachers all seem to be doing their own things, without coordinating with each other. I enquired three times at the school office about the geography bee being conducted and no one could give me an answer. overall totally disappointed with the school. Close Quote
