My kids have been going to Polser since PreK. Their teachers have been excellent. Close Quote

Friday, June 1, 2018

This school is quite possibly the worst school I have ever been in as a substitute. From cliquish teachers who refuse to share items bought with curriculum money to calling each other bitches in the hall, the faculty is obviously burned out and mismanaged. The AC malfunctions ALL the time and there are rooms without any air conditioning at all where water is constantly dripping from the ceiling into buckets and ceiling light fixtures. The principal and office staff are less than supportive and create a toxic, negative environment around the school. The principal holds all of the teachers to different standards than himself or other teachers who he are friends with. I have seen him chastise teachers because they were three minutes late but let other teachers come in fifteen to twenty minutes late. Human feces was even found on the playground at one point and the office replied that the teachers should just let nature take care of it. There are plenty of dedicated teachers and faculty at this school who I'm sure dedicate their lives to their students but they are constantly ran off or bullied until they burn out. New teachers are not welcomed and they are not trained appropriately. I would never allow my child to attend this school because of the environment and toxicity. Close Quote
