through my experience thus far...
teachers are fantastic...really caring and all about the kids getting a higher education. Homework is a bit out of control...we are talking hours of homework per day, K and up...but my child is learning so much its amazing.
administration and supervisors are terrible...they single out students and parents who might 'stand out' and have ridiculous rules and put kids in trouble for really nothing...my child has been in trouble for and received white notes...the end all of everything with this school...for:
1) not understanding spanish when spoken to in spanish by a supervisor ( i thought this was the US)
2) going into class 1 minute late when they changed the in class time for school beginning and did not inform the parents
3) fighting with others when he was only playing around
4) being picked up late when their traffic control system / staff is so bad it takes 45 minutes to pick up your kid and if you miss the deadline, kid is in trouble...
5) being walked to class after driving there and parking, actually i got yelled at personally on the phone by the vice principle for this one.
other complaints are that the admin do not provide bathrooms within a legal distance for some of the children's classrooms and they do not provide water for free or for purchase at lunch time, only milk is provided which my child, happens to be allergic to. We have to send bottled water with him every day to school.
there are more...i have gone back and forth about pulling my child from this school, the admin are a joke, even the teachers i have spoken to tell me the same thing...they (admin) lie about numbers so they can get state rewards, honors and fancy plaques to display, etc...this told to me by people who work there...that said, the teachers are tops...and my child despite the BS is getting a very great education from those who actually care about the kids, the teachers...but the admin is terrible.
