Dorothy I. Height Elementary School

I thought by sending my children here it would be a good idea but turns out i was wrong. My children are in before and aftercare so i never get to see the teachers but two of three teachers communicate with me through class dojo when necessary. The other teacher NEVER reaches out, i've sent notes with my phone number and also messages through other teachers but still no contact. The before and aftercare program is very incompetent! They do not watch the children. They pay more attention to their cells than anything. They talk to the children like they are trash on the street. They have the children opening up the doors for people which is crazy because all it takes is 2 seconds to grab that child and run off. The director Jim Tracey doesn't care what goes on he's just getting a pay check. One of the aftercare teachers gave my daughter USED chapstick and told her it was okay to have it. Weeks later after i had a meeting with them my daughter has an allergic reaction and NO ONE from the school or Champions called to inform me. Medical records have been lost and the principal nor jim have done anything to solve these issues not even an apology. Some little girls mother in my 4 year olds class gave my daughter food from her home and the teachers didnt stop her like im convinced you people just really need the money. My baby girl was hit in the head with a stick and came home complaining of a headache and earache but one again no one seems to know what happened or called to inform me,no incident report nothing. OSSE has been informed so at this point i wash my hands.

IDEK. It sounds like this school isn't a good school because of the bullying, sickness infections, unqualified employees, and a principle who doesn't fulfill the duties that are supposed to be fulfilled. Don't get me wrong I went here when I was little and it was great everything down to experiences were amazing, but it looks like the school took the road down hill

Teachers and staff members do not notify the parents of children when an injury occurs, nor do they take the kids to the hospital; I picked my child up from school and discovered that he was bruised and hit his head on the floor. I never received an incident report or phone call. Later the doctors determined he suffered a concussion.

If you want your kid to become constantly sick and reinfected with strep throat then yes this is the school for you, if you want to be consistently harassed by the school because your child keeps getting sick because of a bacterial infection that she keeps getting reinfected because the administration doesn't inform of parents to go get their children tested, then this is the school for you!! I am tired of the school complaining about my daughter not being in school because she has been sick with strep thoart. Have they spoken to other parents to get their children tested? No. My daughter had been treated 3times for strep thoart . The administration has done nothing to inform other parents to get the kids tested. My kid will keep getting sick if the source is not found and treated. She has been treated 3times already. I will be taking with up with her teacher and her school nurse this is to f much now!!!

This is the most trifling school ever You has alot of negative energy floating around in this building from the teachers teachers aides students and other employees in here. My child is attending this school now as we speak and I am fighting hard to get her out but its alot behind the reason of why she cant just up and get transferred. Its alot of bullying picking and disrespect from adults and kids me as a parent is frustrated and very worried about my child well being. I would not recommend no parent to enrolled their child in this school unless they are ready for the unnecessary drama and etc. The principal her is never ontop of her duties she just like to pick with ppl and make them feel uncomfortable.
