If I could rate this school with no stars I would. My daughter has been here for three years, and…read moreit has completely gone downhill since her first two years. The current principal isn't on her job well. My non violent daughter, who doesn't know how to fight because she isn't being raised to be a stereotype, was hit in the head several times by a classmate 2 times her size. This happened a day before the ice storm. When the children went back to school I had it in my mind to address the bullying situation, because I need my daughter safe. Especially, since my daughter said that she was afraid of the girl that hit her. They did absolutely nothing to reprimand this student whatsoever. My husband and I went to the principal almost everyday for well over a month. She kept saying that she doesn't know much about it. Although, she's had alot of time to familiarize herself with what had happened. So what does that mean? That she couldn't care less, right? There was no incident report made, and there was supposed to be one. The assistant principal, who handles the disciplinary situations, told the counselor to tell me that they cannot move this child out of the class due to tcap being around the corner. They dropped the ball on this incident big time. I was told that they have a policy that they can never tell the parents what disciplinary action was taken concerning the assault of their child. I can't even explain how upset I was, and to be honest I still get upset at their failures. They failed my daughter, and they failed my husband and I as her parents. Another thing is the familiarity and lack of professionalism that some of the teachers have with parents, as well as the principal, and the assistant principal that I mentioned above, are just downright ridiculous. If you want your child protected for all eight hours, if want your child to be treated with concern and cared for during school hours, if you want professionalism from the staff, if you want your child to receive a quality education, if you want legal incident reports to be filed , and you want a copy of the incident report then don't send your precious child here because this isn't where it's at. (I've been wavering back and forth on whether I should do this because I didn't want to down talk my people. However, all skin folk ain't kinfolk, and did they place that same care and respect towards my child? No, they didn't. So parents need to know what they are getting themselves into. Let's not even talk about the backlash you will receive, and the mistreatment if you advocate for your child; as any good parent should do, amd I mean even the office staff. So no privacy, but gossip about parents...check. Yes, i've called the board, and even the lady said," If they reported the incident." What does that say right there? Alot in my opinion.
