Loftis is a school that puts on a front for the outside to see them as such a great school and I fell to that lie. I sent my kids there and they told me they hated Loftis constantly for 2 years but it was our zoned school and I believed the front they put on. I made them stay and then my child was targeted and singled out and treated very poorly and even bullied with no protection. They are selective in who they decide to like and others are just written off, ignored, or singled out. There are a handful of good teachers or administrators but I am so glad I got my kids out of there.

I'm currently an 8th-grade student, and I’ve noticed that the only way to really thrive in this environment seems to be if you’re the teacher’s pet. If you're not, like me, the chances of getting good learning opportunities are pretty slim. Social and emotional support is lacking, and I've had a tou...
