I am thankful for a place to share the truth about this school. My child was uncomfortable here from the start and the staff has been incredibly rude to her. They treated her poorly even though she is just a child. While my daughter has great grades and the principal has been honest, the teachers are very dishonest.
I recently learned that a teacher was yelling and putting a finger in my daughterÂ’s face. The teacher also lied about my daughterÂ’s grades to defend her own behavior. Most upsetting was that the teacher locked my child out of the classroom for twelve minutes. This wasted valuable learning time. After locking her out, the teacher piled extra work on her desk that should have been finished during class.
The staff is inconsiderate and seems to enjoy having power over students. The school did nothing to address these issues after I spoke with them. I do not recommend enrolling your child here if you want to avoid daily problems.
