Poor experience since the first week of my daughter going to school, this time last year, when they failed to hire a proper teacher and my daughters FIRST MEMORY of school was having 4 different quote PERMANENT teachers in a month. They also changed the pickup and drop off areas several times, when before this year it was always the same area. For years. Whose call was it to fix what wasnt broken? I wont go into the fact that there are no elementary plays or performance art. Or the fact that kindergarteners get no form of graduation much less the cap n gown some schools will do. Or the fact that they only took kindergarten on one real field trip the whole year. Or the fact that they clearly select random names from a hat instead of adequately placing a child in class with other learners of their own capacity. OR the fact that they have now begun LOCKING STUDENTS...ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. ...Out of class if their butts arent firmly glued in their seat at 6:45 sharp. Im sorry but they are children, cut them 5 minutes of slack. My God. All in all, its none of that, but the overall complete lack of leadership and stability at this place that shows me summers is NOT the "great school" it was when we grew up. Poor choice, dont send your kids there if youre lucky enough to be zoned else where.
