- Awful, my child was a victim of death threats from another student at Playa, and then victimized by the principal to the authorities. The principal turns her back on the numerous problems that occur in the school in what I see as an effort to avoid negative feedback. Since my child has attended Playa his standardized test scores have fallen every year. Once a vibrant, intelligent child with a thirst for learning, now an emotionally shattered child afraid to go to school. When I spoke with the principal about my concerns of some of the unprofessional behavior of the teachers, and the lack of a positive learning environment in the classroom I was dismissed. I would strongly discourage parents from this school as I am certain I am not the only parent with these concerns.
