It’s a very small charter school . I’ve heard very good things about this school. Everything was going well until my daughter didn’t want to go to school anymore. She’s in kindergarten and the first half of the school year she was doing just fine. Around March she started changing her behavior at home and started crying every morning during drop off to school. I understand kids will have misunderstandings and may be moody. At first my daughter started saying that kids were saying her hairstyle was ugly or crazy and that certain students wouldn’t let her play soccer with them. As her mom I would tell her to brush off any mean comments that involved gender stereotypes like “girls can’t play soccer” in order to help her build thick skin.

To make things short my daughter told me she was being bullied not just emotionally but physically too. Certain kids would kick her while walking trying to trip her and one even punched her in her mouth during recess. I was horrified so I went straight to the principal but she sent me back with the teacher to have a parent teacher conference because that was protocol. I did the conference with the teacher and everything but the situation remain the same for my daughter. The principal basically gave them a slap on the wrist, kids didn’t even lose recess. The principal Ms. Lee claims that kids need time to change and a few talks here and there meanwhile the victims of bullies have to find a way to be okay with being hurt because who cares if your child trips one day and god forbid has concussion right!?!?! Every single person in that school saw my daughter behavior change and still have the nerve to believe the bullies who denied the allegations! I tried making a police report but due to the age it was dismissed.

My daughter and I are still trying to recover from this awful situation. I included myself because I can’t believe I ever trusted these people with my kid! I have trust issues now!!! Don’t even get me started with my daughter’s issues.

PLEASE DON’T BRING YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!!!! They will make you feel crazy by ignoring you.

This school honestly doesn’t deserve to be a part of children education. They are a liability to your child’s safety! My daughter attended this school and was constantly bullied and verbally abused by other students. I continuously reached out to the teacher and principal to take the proper route to their policies and expressed the encounters my daughter had with her bullies but they refused to do anything about it. They are at fault for my daughters emotional distress. I was trying to be the voice for my daughter but they refused to help. They called my daughter a “liar” and let the bully walk away when the bully has history of malicious behavior towards other students there as well.

If I could give them 0 stars I would, they have no respect whatsoever for the neighborhood, always banging their loud drums, I have to hear them while I am asleep before work at 8 am and hear them till I come back home up until 6pm. They just let the kids scream as if no adult is supervising them. I don't understand how this is creating a better citizen of the world, and the school should be ashamed of just constantly holding events that consist of loud bangs and booms when my relative with ptsd who served in Vietnam always reacts to it. Despicable & unresponsible.

Hi I am a parent that has sent two of my children to this school and they have been constantly BULLIED & harassed by other students who have attended this school and I have notified the principal and other staff and they have done no further action then just talking to them even though i have said this has to be spoken with the other party & this has been going on for 2 school years and 5 months this school should look for a other principal to teach them how to respect and not cause harm to eachother and please do your kids a favor and do not send them to this horrible school

Such an inconvenience for the neighborhood. I can’t even get into my own home because of the long line of cars blocking my driveway.
