Learning: Student learning appears to be progressing at a slower pace compared to other learning curves. However, there is a noticeable effort to support students who are slightly below average—limited perspective on students struggling significantly.Teaching: Positive feedback for three out of four teachers. They effectively communicate with parents, provide guidance, and show care for students' progress. Concerns about one teacher's approach, although I acknowledge that speculation arises as I have not been directly involved in the classroom.Social-emotional support: Teachers have supported my children but witnessed other teachers have an inadequate handling of challenging students. Often, parents' negative attitudes toward staff and children impact children adversely. Staff responses sometimes mimic parents' behavior instead of providing comfort, possibly indicating some staff perceive these students as burdens.Safety: My child experienced consistent bullying throughout schooling. Instances of physical assault and harassment were addressed by parents, not school. My child had to address issues himself when matters escalated, highlighting a lack of early intervention by school staff.Family engagement: Lower ranking due to observed inconsistencies in staff response to issues, especially involving parents with problematic behavior. However, when engaged with teachers, positive experiences in addressing classroom issues.Overall, I still enjoy my children going here because I know public school is not perfect and is what you make of it. I would recommend this school solely for the great impact these few teachers have made on my children, and am grateful for the help that they have provided. My one warning to others is that there is a clear lack of empathy for the children who have unstable support from their parents, instead, there only seems to be a job to do.

They need to do more for kids with learning disabilitys and especially with students with ADHD. They will pass along your student even if they are not doing well.
