My daughter has been abused on every level at this school. She's had a her bathroom door kicked and made fun of while her pants were down, she was slapped by a 4th grader when she was barely coming out of kindergarten, another student threw a lunch tray on her, and all of these incidents went unpunished had I not stepped in, and would have went completely unreported had my daughter not told me. The children abusing younger students were not disciplined at all, their parents were not contacted, and that was all due to the principles philosophy that children who are harming other children should receive positive reinforcement. This is the most dysfunctional incompetent staff imaginable, several students have left due to bullying and the schools raring since hiring this principal has plummeted from an 8/10 rating to a 5/10 rating in just 2 years, I'm certain it will continue that trend.
