Little River Elementary

Admin bullies - rude, nasty, I was livid after being talked down to by a hateful woman who said she was the Principal but I later found out she was a counselor . I approached her about a serious matter concerning a child, she dismissed me and I took it to the Superintendent. WATCH OUT.

This school has a wicked environment. If you can afford a private school, look into it.

My child attended Little River elementary from pre K until 5th grade. The first 4 years went well. Until the principal left and they put 2 women as vice principal/principal. I am all for women taking on authoritative roles. However, the 2 women heading up this school are bullies and show favouritism. They show favouritism towards different teachers and students. This really disrupts the entire faculty and students.
My child was bullied bullied 5 months out of the 7 months during the 6th grade year. I blame not only the teacher(s) but the principal and vice principal. My child was verbally and physically assaulted on a regular basis. They informed me the beginning of the school year that this was happening and it was addressed. However, it picked right back up after the kids came back from Christmas break. My child was too ashamed and embarrassed to tell his parents. It continued on for 5 consecutive months. The 2 children in particular, would punch my child in the stomach in the halls, during class change, and outside. Not a single teacher put a stop to it. Where are the teachers during these free times????He was verbally assualted in class relentlessly and children were telling my child to kill himself. The effects of this incident has still affected our family since leaving the school.
I believe bullying starts at the top. There is too much cattiness amongst this faculty to where prominent issues are being swept under the rug. The staff actually seems to act as if they are in elementary school. Until, the administration changes I would be weary of placing your child there.
My child is an unbelievably sweet person. After this was addressed, a few of the teachers reached out and apologized because they really adored my child. The vice principal wasn't at all sincere and too worried her job would be in jeopardy to act on any sincerity. I never met the actual principal of the school as she mostly hides behind the vice principal.
I maybe received one smile from the secretary in the front office for the entire 6 years.Believe me, I'm not the only parent that dreaded going into the front office only to be greeted by a scowl on the secretaries.

First impressions speak volumes. Beware!

My son had an AMAZING Kindergarten year last year, and so far an AMAZING first grade year. The school is filled with caring, highly qualified teachers and supportive parents. Go Eagles!
