My experience with this school was not the best. I felt that the administration, particularly the principal, was more focused on achieving recognition as a lighthouse school or blue ribbon school. It seemed that she is willing to lie to make herself & the school look good. I understand the politics that come with schools these days, but this is a public elementary school, and it should be open to children from different backgrounds. Unfortunately, my child was not accepted back into the school, and I believe this decision was influenced by the school's current status. And my child’s issues. Therefore, I’m taking this matter to the next level. They did not want to deal with my child's behavioral issues, fearing it would reflect poorly on the school. And as a result, my child has been placed in an unfamiliar school setting. And for children who struggle with behavioral issues. This is a huge set back..Additionally, the third-party after-school care provider, Right at School, discriminated against my family. One of their care providers/staff witnessed my child's meltdown(s) and, despite initially accepting him into the program, they promptly kicked him out the next day. Claiming they thought he was in a different grade. The administration was made aware of the problem. But they did nothing about it. They offered no help! Academically, this is a GREAT SCHOOL! Committed and devoted teachers. Especially in the higher grades. I wish they had a school sports program. Overall, not a lot of bad things to say about the School’s curriculum. Congratulations on becoming a Light House School!!
