School Reviews
3 3/21/2020
The best thing about this school is their K-1 theatre loop. Starting in 2nd grade it goes downhill. The principal was a teacher at the school for over 20 years and was promoted to principal 3 or 4 years ago. Therefore, she's basically managing her colleagues. The parents have no say and/or respected by many teachers. There has been a lot of turnover, and the teachers that are there are not genuine. There is a lot of bullying at lunch and recess which is not managed well or monitored. The parent coordinator runs the whole show and definitely will not go out of her way to listen to a parent and make things right. My child said that if Midtown West had a mascot, it should be the Midtown West Vultures.
