We had a wonderful experience at Springs (Montessori program) over the past few years. Mrs. Janel…read morein particular was outstanding... thoughtful, patient, and deeply attentive to each student's particular needs. She created a structured classroom environment where students felt both safe and challenged to grow academically and personally, but at the same time Springs in general and Mrs. Janel also allowed for flexibility. Her communication with our family was consistent and caring, and it was clear she genuinely cares for her students' success.

This review is long overdue-- but I feel it is important to provide parents with transparency on…read morehow this school truly operates. Let's just wake a moment to acknowledge that these few 5 star reviews are from the staff-- I know this because my child attended briefly. My son started here in the 1st grade and my daughter kinder. First week was great, second week my daughter told me two boys pushed my son at school. With this info I went to the principal (if he is even qualified to be called that)Whitehead. I spoke to him about my concerns and my kids concerns about the physical contact. He went on to tell me it was "not a bullying situation" so he was not obligated to inform me. The children pushed my child and my child responded and an aide had broken it up. He claimed to have not seen these things happen, but would not allow me to talk to the aide present. As I continued to express my concerns, he tried to tell me my son was the aggressor. Frustrated I asked for a conference to discuss this as Whitehead was very gaslighting and dismissive. While the conversation continued another staff member approached to save Whitehead, (due to his lack of qualifications he was not able to handle the conversation on his own) a lady name Ms. Kemp approached. She claimed to be his colleague (right hand if you will), but it almost certainly gave off a husband/wife vibe. The next day I was called into the office to talk about my child--- ALL OF A SUDDEN, he's a problem. Whitehead goes on to tell me my child is doing disruptive things and being physical. Conveniently his teacher didn't see these things, lady Kemp saw them. They claimed my child attempted to bite a child's arm out. Yet NOT ONE PERSON saw this. What Kemp and Whitehead were unaware of was that I was in contact with the teacher aide. Constantly checking in and she said my child was doing great. So my child is doing great, until I confront whitehead about negligence-- now my child is a problem. That's interesting. Needing more clarification, I reach out to his teacher, Kubo-- to speak about my child progression and participation in class. She tells me through dojo she'll give me a call. But guess who calls me instead? Yep, whitehead and kemp. The teacher said she saw none of these things that it was brought to her attention. I let whitehead know I his office, YOU ARE A BULLY! A MEATHEAD, AND UNDER-QUALIFIED. His email signature for being a mentor and navigator not only incorrectly characterizes him, but it's obvious and sadly misspelled. This is NOT a school, this is a CULT! Whitehead should NEVER be allowed to call himself a principal. Your children are not safe there. They are headcount's for a paycheck. I thought I was gaining a community. Instead I gained insight on how some people are only in certain for power and intimidation. Not to mention he tried to use my child's kindergarten behaviors to justify his actions as a grown man. You know how disgusting that is to blame a baby for the actions of an adult? Do you know how dangerous it is, to have teachers willing to go along with another teacher? Not to mention my daughter lunch was constantly stolen, along with her thermal water bottle-- and she often complained of her teacher plugging her ears as kids approached her with help or issues. Please choose a safer place for your babies. THEY ARE NOT SAFE THERE. PROTECT CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS SPRINGS CHARTER! May God have mercy on those who bully, harm, and/or neglect children. If you or any family have experienced any misfortunes at this school please report it! Reviews are not enough, get predatory people out of the school system!

The morale is no longer there, my kids don't want to go to school, when before they begged to go, even on sick days. The teachers and staff have been great, but everyone feels like they are stepping on shells with the new principal. They need someone that is more caring in charge of the school.

Everyone says she is a terrible friend and all that stuff and it really puts her down in her mental health, no adult here at Orange helped her coped with her struggles except for Mr. Martin. These past 2 years for her (4th-6th) after she came back to orange was absolutely terrible, I felt sick to my stomach when I heard all the complaints and all the things going against her. Not a single adult handled the situations with kids laughing at the clothes on her body, the way she looks and her weight. Truly breaks my heart on how awful the counselor and principal never helped her.

Plus if you end up having altercations with people here you'll most likely have to deal with them in Roosevelt for another four years (arguably even worse school than rhis).

As a grown woman call me by my last name like you did when I first picked the phone up!!!!! Very unprofessional!!! she would not give me any reassurance that the other child would be reprimanded or at least spoken to. She laughed when I said this is very inappropriate for a first grader to do what is going to happen with him, she laughed!!!! This woman literally laughed like it was a joke!!!!? Like it's not that serious. I asked several times WHAT the ladies name was who I spoke with, and the assistant principal would not give me her name. She put me on hold so when I called back, they would not give me her name either, so I have taken it up to the school district.!!! I also just got off the phone with the principal who finally got in contact with me 45 minutes later and he seems to only be one sided and has no resolution I would not recommend the school to anyone -keep your kids safe!!!!

I admit, when i was attending this school many many years ago, I hated their "tuck in your shirts and wear belts" dress code.

Sometimes I'm still in the area and this is the only school that hasn't changed much in appearance since I graduated from it & apparently this is the only school that has nearly the same staff as it had back when I was a student there ('98-'00).

"Oh boy." Sabrina Carpenter said it best, and honestly,…read morethose two words sum up my experience at CFIS.Let me be clear. This is MY side of the story. Sure, I probably made things harder for myself at times, but a lot of what happened? That's on the school.Seventh grade started off fine. I was quiet. Minding my own business. I made a friend. It was actually kinda nice. But then in science class, this boy kept bullying me over my Tourette's. Like constantly. I can't control it. I tried to stop it. I told the counselor. They were nice, told me it wasn't okay, said they'd talk to him and handle it. Guess what? They didn't. Nothing happened. He kept going. Eventually he moved on to someone else like it was a game. So yeah, he stopped bullying me. But only because he found a new target. That's not a solution. That's just ignoring the problem until it shifts. Now fast forward to eighth grade. We're supposed to be the oldest, the leaders, the ones setting the example. Yeah right. Drama was everywhere, and the drama I was in? I'm not gonna spill all the details or name names (except for one person, she earned it), but let's just say the school said they'd take it "seriously." Spoiler alert: they didn't. They suspended the wrong kid. Literally punished someone who didn't do anything while the actual problem just got swept under the rug. And now the cherry on top: their "leadership" program. It sounds cute until you're actually in it. It's run by this one teacher -- yeah, I'm name-dropping -- Mrs. Saunders. We were cutting skeletons for an activity, and she starts screaming at this kid in class. Straight up yelling in front of everyone. I went over to ask him if he was okay, but I could tell he didn't feel like talking. Later, he told me he has motor skill issues and struggles with cutting. And instead of helping him, Mrs. Saunders made him clean everything up like he did something wrong. She told him it was "the least he could do. This place is a mess. It's a dumpster fire. No support. No action. Just fake promises and teachers who snap instead of support. If you're thinking about coming here -- don't. CFIS, you need to get it together.
