| A very enlightened principal. | There is A LOT of bullying at this school and it's not just limited to student on student. There are a number of bullying teachers who seem to generally dislike the kids. The school does not deal well with any bullying and seems to prefer to shove it under the rug. One child has already left this year as a result and another was accused of 'fantasizing'. We're considering moving our kids to a private school because the atmosphere is very aggressive and the teachers seem to only care about test results. | Not a great school. Aspirational parents combined with ambitious teachers leads to stressed out kids who take it out on each other. Like I said, lots of bullying, a number of very nasty teachers and a real lack of understanding as to how to get through to the students who don't fit into their very narrow idea of what is 'normal'. It's your basic nightmare of a public school and the reason so many parents in the area choose to go private. | ||
