I have three grandchildren who attend this school. In my opinion teacher cross boundaries inserting personal opinions concerning cultural lifestyles. The children are not held accountable for their behavior. They are removed from the classroom to be babysat by another teacher. Student are able to walk out of class with no consequences. They say the school has a dress code, but students dress how they please. Drugs have been found on the campus. Students are constantly fighting or involved in some type of confrontational altercation with each other. Teachers behave more as peers than educators. My grandchild has attended this school for the past five years. I have seen very little improvement. If it were my choice, they would not attend.

We had our Grandsons there and pulled them out. It's a very bad school. I went as far as contacting the school district and as of yet nothing done. My Grandson had his phone snatched from his hand while on the school bus. He ran to the bus driver for help and the bus driver yelled at him to sit down or get off. Next day my husband went and spoke with the vice principal who informed him since it didn't happen in the school it wasn't there responsibility. It happened on the school bus which makes them responsible. Get you're children out of that school for their own protection. My Grandchildren now go to South Pointe Elementary school best decision we've ever made. My Granddaughter started school for the first time and at Bernard Black I was worried about her going there. If anything happens to her on the bus they say there not responsible and then my Grandson was put on the wrong bus at one time. He was only 5 their bus drivers don't care about our children and could have left him anywhere. That's just to name a few. So much happened in their short time there.

Pulled my child out of school, she was in kindergarten. She had good grammar before going to that school. While in school she grammar went to pot. Teacher disliked her and we tried to communicate with her. It did not work. Way too much home work for a little child to take home with them. Seemed more like home schooling with the amount they took home. Grammar school needs to REALLY work on grammar. Now we can't undo the poor grammar damage she was taught in that school.
