Hi, my name is Isaiah Freeman. I been to this school for almost a year and it was good so far. If we was doing good last school year, we would get SOAR bucks which is like dollars but for only to buy something at this school and we could earn snacks and stuff from our old principal, "Ms. Miller" Me and my parents so far thought that this was a good fit for me till we had a new principal and some new rules which was REALLY strict to be honest.

I was playing basketball with Hudson and his friend who is some kid in 1st grade (probably in 2nd grade today) named, "Gawdin" We was all huddle up in front of the ball, Hudson was holding it, then I blinked and noticed that Gawdin had a nose bleed and he assumed that I punched him but I didn't though. 2 people especially Hudson who was the closest one who saw what happened and him and my friend said that he ran into my arm on accident so his nose was bleeding.

The kid told his so-called, "friends" that I punched him and they immediately came up to me. (Oh, and get this, these same kids that was going to jump me weren't just any kids. These kids were in 7th grade and 8th grade which was 1-2 GRADES higher than me and I was in 6th at the time.) So, everybody came up to me, all in a circle getting ready to jump me. (I had a knife in my backpack incase something like this was going to happen but I didn't use it, I should've though but my body was too nervous and scared too.) Luckily, it was time to go to "Advisory" which is a period that we get ready to get in class for 15 mins.

The principal called me to come into the office when she heard what happened. I tried to tell her what really happened but of course, she didn't care on what I had to say and just believed what the teachers told her. I ran away and slammed the door and tried to rush and hide to Village Glen to calm down and vent to myself about what happened but of course, they somehow found me. So, the principal sat right next to me and talked about how I say the n-word and etc (which is wrong, I get it) but one thing that really caught me offended was when she said the hard-r to me, right in front of my face. (Keep in mind, the principal WASN'T black or half-black. She was asian.)

Once, I get home, I told my mom on what happened at school then I mentioned how the principal said a racial slur in front of me then that's when she gets a "phone call" (I think she was in a meeting also) We was at American's Best so I can pick up my glasses but when I heard that she said told my mom that she believed me and that I told the truth, I was mad because she told me the opposite and my mom at this time had a lot of trust in this school so I was mad.

By the way, this isn't the 1st time this principal had been racist to me before. My mom was picking me up from 'in-school suspension', so I went to go get my backpack and that's when we approached each other and she said something that was racist and out of pocket. (Gladly, my mom heard and noticed it because she needed to be aware of this more.)

Another time when I was on 'in-school suspension', I snuck my phone out the office to play some music through my AirPods Pro. She caught me having it too and decided to try to take out my SIM card out my phone so I wouldn't do anything if I had snuck it again. (Thankfully, I had an e-SIM so I had nothing to worry about.)

I reposted and updated this review to give out more and clearer details about my experience here because I felt like it need to be heard more. I'm at a different school today and found out that before I had left the school, they didn't have the resources for me to be there and that was kinda unfair and made no sense to me.

(Update: 8/11/2024)
I found out last night on a Discord call with my friends who goes to that same school told me that my ex-girlfriend, Katalina was having sex with a kid named, Carter in the wait room.

Note: I won't be updating this review anymore because I've reached the character limit to the point where I can't type anymore so this will be all that's left.

It really depends on your childs' needs if you want to enroll them in this school. Because I will tell you some disadvanges and restrictions this school has: 1) All the restrooms are locked, staff have to escort kids to the restroom to let them in, usually they only allow one person at a time in the restroom when there's multiple stalls in the restrooms for a reason. 2) The campus is gated up 3) You're not allowed to walk to school or take public transit to the school. 4) The tuition fees are expensive, 5) Staff may make an angry face at you for doing something wrong. 6) If you have a behavioral issue, they force you to stay after school until your parent picks you up. To those families who have an autistic or special needs kid, think before you enroll. I'm not saying do not enroll to this school, but it really depends on your child's needs.

The School didn’t do there job properly and it wasn’t safe for other students there were kids with challenges who would go to the other classrooms and attack another student and there was this mean Etiopía woman who didn’t care about students who were hurt and she used to picked up on them for no reason she hated her job and the school didn’t actually care.
