Neglectful to students who are in Special Education classes. Unqualified and neglectful staff!

My child's 1st grade teacher put my child in the wrong dismissal line resulting in him trying to find his way home alone and getting lost. Thankfully a kind hearted stranger brought him back to the school.

My issue is that neither T****a or any of the school staff involved were honest about what was going on with my child. Not to mention, upon return to pick up my child's things, T****a was extremely rude to my husband. Baffling.

Once the strabger returned my child to the school so that my husband (who was waiting all this time in the pickup line without anyone telling him what was going on) the staff took it upon themselves to tell my crying and distraught child that he will get over it once he gets home and has some candy. Disgusting.

(I am not mentioning the teacher by name because it goes against guidelines... I think it's dangerous not to be able to hold people accountable and mention them by name. This is how these behaviors are perpetuated)

This is a really frustrating school. Though most of the staff is ok it is the administation way or the highway. Teachers are afraid to actually discipline here due to the parents basically running the school, administation trying to appease them and students know it and take advantage of that fact. We come here to teach but cannot do so without support we need. Several have left for this very reason and the ones that stay continue to hope

This school is racially biased and their low scores prove the mentally of the school. My daughter in law was so glad when school was over and said they would move just to get away from this school
