My child has been at this school since kindergarten, and we've had such a great experience. The…read moreteachers are amazing--they really care and do whatever it takes to help close any learning gaps and make sure students succeed. You can tell they want every kid to feel confident and supported. Now that my child is in middle school, I'm so impressed with all the clubs, activities, and special electives they offer. There's something for everyone, and it really helps the kids explore new interests and build their skills. We still have two years before high school, but I'm so thankful for everything this school has done to prepare my child for what's ahead.

It barks at the children and Amanda had the nerve to claim that it's because the dog is afraid of the kids. The other day, someone there was playing with pet mouse at their desk. It's nearly impossible to conduct any business I have with the school as a parent when there's a large barking dog and employees playing Dr.Dolittle with rats

Extremely long post: I've been contemplating for weeks about writing this, I've tried through email…read moreto reach out to "the person in charge " to no success. If I can take my children out now, I would! No tissue, no soap,you know the basics. I AM FED UP!! I want to begin by saying that I am not homophobic. I understand that many families chose to leave the school because they were uncomfortable with their children being around a married couple who were also the owners. Others, like myself, chose to stay because we were focused on maintaining a stable and academically sound environment for our children. Those of us who remained placed our trust in the two new owners. However, after their separation, there was no communication to parents regarding a significant change that directly affects the leadership and stability of the school. While I respect that personal matters are private, when they directly impact a school community, a level of transparency is both appropriate and expected. It is especially concerning given that Maritza was not only an owner but also an educator who played an important role in the school, particularly through her work with the students in the drama department. Her presence and contribution mattered, and the absence of communication around such a major change is disappointing. Since the transition, Atala has not been the same. This raises a valid question about how a couple can separate so soon after taking on the responsibility of running a school. The changes being implemented feel disconnected from what students actually need, particularly as academic concerns continue to surface. In addition, there appears to be a pattern of decisions that reflect poor judgment. The new social media presence, for example, comes across as unprofessional and lacks the level of care and intention expected from an educational institution. Many of the changes feel irrelevant at a time when students should be the primary focus. If Colon were more personable and approachable, parents might feel more comfortable engaging in open conversations. However, interactions with her often come across as unwelcoming and, at times, dismissive. There is a noticeable sense of entitlement in both demeanor and actions, which does not foster a positive or collaborative environment for parents or staff. Professionalism is also a concern in terms of presentation and conduct on campus. From attire to interactions with families, there are instances that do not align with what is typically expected of someone in a leadership role within a school setting. Another concern is the rapid transition into a new personal relationship following the separation. While personal relationships are ultimately private, the timing raises questions about stability. There is also a strong concern that this new partner may become involved in the school in some capacity, which adds to the uncertainty many parents are already feeling. Communication overall has become increasingly difficult. Parents are frequently redirected instead of receiving clear answers. Even simple requests, such as obtaining transcripts, have become unnecessarily complicated. I was instructed to contact multiple individuals for something that was previously handled efficiently. At this point, I am simply requesting access to my child's records without added difficulty or unnecessary discussion. I also referred several parents to the school when I believed things were going well. They scheduled tours to get a feel for the environment, not to make an immediate commitment. While they shared that Ms. Consuelo was welcoming, supportive, and had a great interaction with the child, the follow-up experience raised concerns. After not hearing back, she reached out to check in on their decision. This came across as pushy and made them feel as though they were being pressured, despite only having attended a tour. They had not yet made a decision and were still exploring their options. That follow-up ultimately influenced their decision not to move forward with Atala. In my experience, this is not a typical practice, and I do not recall Erin or Consuelo previously handling tours in this manner. The overall condition and organization of the school have also declined. Cleanliness, consistency, and planning,such as the lack of communication regarding summer camp,are all areas that reflect a lack of structure and leadership. While there are staff members I genuinely appreciate, it often feels as though their ability to support students is limited under the current direction of leadership. The dynamic of the school has shifted significantly, and not in a way that benefits the students. This has been an extremely disappointing experience. I gave the school a full year in hopes that things would improve, but instead it has been marked by instability, lack of communication, and growing concern. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage parents to evaluate this place before enrolling.
