Ps 270 Joanne Dekalb School Reviews

by a  Parent  Anonymous
I cannot wait for my son to graduate so that I don't have to deal with the ignorant ,lazy, disorganized staff and unruly, undisciplined children anymore.  My son has been bullied so many times that I am now taking my daughter out of that school and never stepping foot in that horrible excuse for an educational institution, again. The school just keeps getting worse and the people are unprofessional.  The children are not disciplined adequately and bullies get away with hurting children and only get suspension for a few days.  The same children continue to be suspended more than twice and no expulsion ever takes place. Parents are called to meet and nothing comes out of it except yelling and the statement "children will be children" comes out of the every staff member's mouth, to excuse the bullying.  It's funny because my children don't bully other children.  My kids have never been suspended either.  The bullies are left to roam the halls and terrorize the school.  What kind of learning environment is that for a child who actually wants to be there and learn?!  Do not enroll your child in this school!!!!  It had a grade of F last year and that says it all.
