I would not recommend this school, especially for families of color looking for a supportive and inclusive environment. In our experience, there seemed to be a lack of understanding and sensitivity toward diverse students, and my child often felt singled out rather than supported.

Communication from teachers and staff was frequently unclear, which made it difficult to address concerns or feel confident in how situations were being handled. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere felt unprofessional at times, and issues were not always approached with the care and maturity you would expect from educators.

No parent wants their child to feel targeted or emotionally distressed at school, and our experience left us worried about the lasting impact. I believe the staff could benefit from additional training in cultural awareness, communication, and student support.

If you're a person of color, this school might not be the best fit. The teachers aren't adequately prepared to support diverse students and seem to single out certain children. My personal experience wasn't positive, and communication with the teachers was often unclear. I strongly feel that some of these educators could benefit from additional training and support.
