I strongly advise against enrolling your children in this school. My son has been attending for two years, and the persistent bullying issue and the overall conduct of the school are deeply concerning.
In particular, the previous secretary, Miss Cooper, was consistently disrespectful to me last year. On multiple occasions, and now with the new secretary, Miss Parker, I've encountered difficulty obtaining essential information about my son's well-being.
February 28, 2024, when I requested a copy of an email from my son's father regarding bullying concerns, Miss Cooper shockingly insisted that I hire an attorney to access the information. This is unacceptable when it involves my son's safety. I am particularly concerned as we are currently going through a custody battle. It is imperative that I have proof of my son's bullying situation as it may have legal implications in our ongoing court proceedings.
Denying me access to information regarding my son's well-being is not only emotionally distressing but also potentially a contempt of court. It is my right as a parent to be aware of any issues affecting my child, especially when it involves their safety. This is the second time my son has faced bullying at this school, and the lack of cooperation from the school administration is deeply troubling.
Last year, Miss Cooper even resisted placing me on the pick-up list despite court orders. Even after presenting the necessary paperwork twice, I had to visit the school personally to resolve the issue. The lack of cooperation and respect for court orders is troubling.
Moreover, the school seems reluctant to address bullying issues, and obtaining relevant paperwork is an ongoing challenge. It's disheartening that they prioritize their interests over the safety and well-being of the students. Based on my experience and feedback from a family member, bullying is prevalent, and the school's refusal to provide information only exacerbates the problem.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend this school due to its lack of transparency, uncooperative behavior, and failure to address bullying effectively. Parents deserve better when it comes to the safety and education of their children.
I will be voluntarily reporting the school to the school board with my attorney because I cannot continue dealing with the lack of communication and safety concerns at this school. After this, my kids will no longer be attending this school. I don't feel my child is safe, and it seems the school prioritizes protecting itself over providing information to parents, especially regarding bullying concerns. Parents should have the right to access information sent by another parent concerning bullying without having to go through legal channels. I strongly advise against enrolling your child in this school. Additionally, parking is severely limited, making it difficult to find a spot.
