Open Quote New school but it has been a bit of a transition. This is our third school in this area, so I am just comparing between them.

I have three kids in different grades here and it seems like things are run pretty poorly. I have seen multiple times this year teachers crying in the halls, and it feels like everyone is on the verge of breaking. Maybe it is from Covid or the brand new principle is struggling. I am not really sure, but as our group of parents say, try walking around after school and you will feel it.

Teachers are nice and at least speaking from my three seem to be comparable, it just feels like they are rushing through things at paces that make it hard to learn and experience the skills.

It has a feeling like everyone is exhausted and burnt out here. Hopefully this changes as the leadership team gains some experience. That way next year it doesn't have such a depressing vibe for a school. Close Quote
