This school is an utter disaster coming from the staff to the principal. Incident after incident that never gets reported. The lack of supervision they provide the children. Bathroom locks don’t work. You bring up an issue to the principal, she nods and spaces out.. There’s a lot of bullying that is not being taken care of properly. A lot of safety incidents that go unreported, parents are not being notified when they should. I took it upon myself to transfer my honor roll students out of this so called “school.” I would highly recommend to find a school that cares for the students mental health and well being a priority.

Back when I was at the school, I was bullied from kindergarten all through 5th grade. None of the teachers did anything. For example, when I was in kindergarten, whenever I tried telling the teacher or defending myself after getting hit I would be the one getting in trouble because the teacher "didn't see" the other kid bullying me. When the issue got bigger (he ended up bitting me) the principal said he couldn't do kick him out of the school saying it was because it was a "public" school as an excuse. I had a different issue in 6th grade where a group of students from our grade kept misbehaving and got us all punished. The punishment was writing 600 lines saying "I will not misbehave in class". When the kids did it again, the whole grade had to do another 1000 lines the same week (it was due in 2 days) only for the teacher to say that we didn't have to do it anymore after most of us had finished. In other words, I wouldn't recommend the school due to the lack of anti-bullying and organization.
