Best School in Canada

W	Waqas Munawar (Waqas Munawar) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This review is specifically for the admin staff and not related to academics. The staff is really good and friendly. They are helpful towards their lunchroom aides and provide good hourly wages. It surely is on the outskirts and transportation can be an issue. If that resolves, I'm sure this school may gain popularity in terms of staff.
A	Andy Libich on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horrible school. Our son was burned with hot glue , the staff treated him Improperly for it and then they blamed him for doing it even though where the burn was it was clearly impossible that he could have done it himself, even the doctor that treated him said no way he could have done it to himself and also the staff made the scarring worse because of how they treated the burn . He now had a scar on his arm about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide . Also several other incidents where students in class had handed in homework and the teacher lost it and then said the kids were liars and had never handed it in. Very unprofessional approach for a brand new school . Principal is dishonest and does not admit to any wrongdoing on the schools behalf even after multiple students and parents came forward about issues with the teachers and supervisors.
H	Hayley!!! on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am actually a student and it’s the best school I have ever been to it’s a k-grade 9 school and there two gyms and one is big and one is small it’s great there even a library music room and daycare for any age up to grade 7 it’s amazing?
S	Silvi Jarecki on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This school has made my sons first year a nightmare, the principal should be running a maximum prison and not an elementary school. I witnessed him humiliating two young boys for running in the school, then proceeding to make them march like soldiers up and down the hallways, in front of other kids and scolding them continuously. This is after witnessing him and other staff ( including the skinny lady with short hair that does traffic after school, I believe her name is Ms. Meads) time and time again treating students of all ages like they are less than them. Today I witnessed Ms. Meads grabbing a young boy by the arm to move him from one chair in the office and berating him . I have witnessed so many inappropriate behaviours by the staff and principal. Do NOT subject your child to the abuse of this school. Do your research. My sons kindergarten teacher is amazing, so I don’t believe she will be staying long. The fact that there are constantly teachers assistants and teachers quitting here is a red flag among all other incidents. Unfortunately I don’t believe that most parents see as much as the kindergarten parents, so if you do have your child in the school, please talk to them and ask them how they are treated. It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful school being run by these incompetent, cold people with zero awareness of positive reinforcement and people skills. 0/5 stars.
N	Nikkita Richards on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worst school I've ever came across. The princebel isn't friendly at all, I've noticed this with staff as well. I've noticed a lot of bullying in this school. It's only 2 months into the school year. Teachers seem overwhelmed all the time. Like they don't know what they are doing. It's scary bringing my child to this school. I'm unhappy dropping my daughter off. Very eerie feeling.like something is off. This has been open for only for year or so. Very dissapointing. :/
g	grace harp on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff in the school are very unprofessional and impolite. I hope the staff changes sometimes soon, but my daughter attended this school roughly one year ago. The experience? Horrible. They used to open my car door and force my child outside and into the school. That was impolite and flat out rude. My child faced severe bullying and nothing much was done about it. The teachers talked to the people involved and that was about it, nothing changed. My child would be greatly affected and would come home crying. I was very concerned. Some staff members were very polite and told us if something was going on, we could contact them but that was about it. I really hope this school changes for the better because it did not live up to the standard I was hoping for.
l	laura Slaunwhite on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This school has been my worst experience with Edmonton public schools. My oldest was constantly bullied and they did nothing she struggled academically and they gave up on her. We had a hard time as a family managing pandemic, job loss, and a new baby, and family deaths and they were not supportive. Very judgemental and the office staff are horrible. They go to hang up on you while you're still talking almost every single time. They unregistered my oldest for not having birth certificate.which is my fault for not producing but we were struggling financially and my daughter clearly needed support and that's what they did. As for busses 2 years in a row the start of the year was an unacceptable joke. My youngest was late every day for over a month!!! Bus pick up times have changed roughly 4 times in 3 months. Completely ridiculous. And on my youngest daughters first day this year she got bullied as well.
J	Jowie Osagie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not a very great experience for my daughter who was transferring to this school in Grade 1. I can safely and authoritatively say that my daughter has been suffering a lot of mental health issues since she joined this school. It hurts because she is such a sweet child...she has to daily stand up yo bullying and then comes back exhausted and not wanting to go to school the next day.
