If you need to switch schools, your kid is going to be at least 1 to 2 years behind their peers. The current principal does not want to believe bullying is an issue at this school, however a chat with parents at pick up and drop off reveal that bullying is rampant within the school and no one wants to address it. Physical assault doesn't even illicit much of a response. If kids have the nerve to defend themselves, they find they are the ones getting into trouble. There is a lot of victim blaming instead of dealing the real bullies. Many of the teachers are burnt out and it shows with how they interact with kids. I have watched teachers lose their minds, yelling at kids that didn't deserve it for things a simple as not having a jacket on a cool morning. There is a high turnover with teachers in the last several years and they don't always high people who are accredited. Most grades, the kids will have several teachers throughout the day. This wouldn't be a problem if any of them actually spoke to the other. There is a lot of "the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing." Kids are regularly given conflicting information. There is no control over several of the grades. If you want a rude, mean, feral child, this is the school for you!
