[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bonnie Brae is a lovely neighborhood, but we hate the school.  Had an awful experience there this year and I really regret moving into this school district.  Too many things are wrong even to name, but I would say look elsewhere unless you have a very outgoing, resilient child and you yourself are pretty impervious.  [/quote]

oh! Can you provide even a little detail? Is it that the administrators are not receptive? Bonnie Brae has more affordable housing than other areas for some reason that I don't understand and that as reason I was considering the area.[/quote]

The class sizes are very large, but that may be the case everywhere.  The problem for us was that the principal is only interested in defending teachers and staff - if your child has a problem with anyone, you have no recourse.  There is just no accountability for the teachers and staff, and some of them need to go.  If you have a sensitive child who is having a hard time with a teacher, it's a difficult situation to be in, because you cannot effectively advocate for them when everyone at the school is so defensive.  They can be very rude and confrontational when questioned or even slightly criticized.  [/quote]
