Hi, I'm a student that actually attended Coral Academy. I have graduated from this school in the 2019-2020 school year, and went for 7th and 8th grade. And let me tell you why I gave the review I did.
Here is a list of some messed up things that have occurred there in the middle school department that may or may not have been reported to me by other students that have been at Coral longer then I have, and that me and others may or may not have experienced.
-The teachers and students say slurs
-There have been multiple gas leaks over the course of four years, and one time the school had to be evacuated, which I was there for.
-Rumor to have MOLD in the walls that have gotten other students sick.
-The field trip money for this year was never returned to the parents that paid early.
-forced students to delete negative reviews with there complains so they can keep their ratings high
-A certain teacher that when they get upset or stressed with their class will start yelling and sometimes insult the students even to the point where the students start to cry, and even keeps the student after school even when they have important activities, and the school did nothing.
- Three students have been expelled because of sexual harassment.
-A male student had harassed multiple female students, and instead of dealing with the issue properly, the school just banned skirts for the females.
Now, I have personally had some issues with them that I'd like to share as well. Certain teachers have not respected my identity and have purposefully used my incorrect name and pronouns. Now this may sound like not a big deal, but think about it. A certain teacher of mine would call my incorrect name in the halls in front of everyone passing by ON PURPOSE (as they started this habit AFTER they learned about my preferred name) Thankfully they stopped after a while, but then we never crossed paths again. Another teacher however, knew about my preferred name and pronouns and yet at my whole time in their class (4 months) I don't remember ever them calling me my correct name, or pronouns.
However this incident makes my blood boil everytime i recall it.
I had requested my teachers to use my preferred name and new pronouns, and someone had told the principle. Later, my principal Mr.Serdar had told my mother about my new name and pronouns. Mr.Serdar basically outed me to my mother. Thankfully I had already told my mother about my new name and pronouns, but nonetheless, Mr.Serdar had told my mother information about me that I did not consent to telling and information that he did not know if it was safe to be told. Mr.Serdar did not know if my situation was safe to be LGBTQ openly, and I honestly think he didn't care. And I will never stop being angry at that.
I admit I have some great memories at and because of Coral. But that doesn't mean that you can just ignore all the flaws, and pretend they're not there. And I encourage other students to voice their complaints of this school when they can.
