This school is not for everyone. Some kids have a difficult time with comprehension both in English and the second language which in my child's case was Spanish. I met some parents who pulled their children out because they were not thriving. I believe math should be taught in English until 3rd grade then switched to the second language. The same for use of accents on Spanish words, those can be difficult to remember.There are some good teachers, horrible teachers and a few great ones. Mrs. Duron was NOT exceptional and a majority of parents whose children had her complained about her. Another teacher called some of the kids in her class "little idiots" in Spanish and horribly shamed one of her students but she's gone now I believe.This school went downhill after my child left. Tag was not allowed to be played, silent applause was initiated at assemblies even though there were no deaf students but there was a blind one (so silent applause made no sense) and there was some bad behavior from some staff that I witnessed but couldn't say anything because it would have been obvious who complained. What bothered me most about this school was the bullying. When my child tried to defend himself my child got in trouble as the teachers never saw the initial incident.One boy at the school stabbed my child with a pencil and punched several other students but not much was done. Lady Gaga was so outraged by the bullying because the child of someone she knew was attacked and the media descended on the school but I did not know the outcome.This is a post to made on social media in regards to the boy who stabbed my child:RIP Linda Valachovic (1969-2023)Here's the difficult truth, she was strangled to death by her son. I'm not sure if any of you remember that my child was stabbed with a pencil in 5th grade by a classmate, her son was the classmate. This same classmate also punched several other students yet nothing was done and it all lead to the death of his mother at his hands. There is something seriously wrong with our schools if something like this is allowed to happen and no action is taken.The school does have its good points like the Halloween parade, the Fall Festival, class projects, Book fairs, dances and the friends my child made. It would be great if they would go back to selling ice cream instead of just frozen juice pops. There's a sense of community at work which is why we stayed. Good luck.
