A two-star review. A reply from the school. A slogan that was never supposed to exist.
A user posts a public two-star review describing what they perceived as the school's priority order. The review is one person's stated opinion, posted publicly under their own account.
The reply was posted from the account labelled as the verified owner of the school's listing on the review platform. The reply does not deny the original review's claim and uses the word “slogan” to describe the phrase. Whether this represented school policy, individual sarcasm, or an unauthorised post is unknown to this page's authors.
At the time the screenshot was captured, the reply was still publicly visible and no public correction had been located by this page's authors. The current status is whatever the school chooses it to be — they may have since edited, deleted, or replaced it.
We didn't write the words being quoted — they were posted publicly from an account labelled as the school's verified owner. This page exists as a permanent archive of that public post to ensure institutional accountability.
The exchange below is reproduced verbatim from a public review platform, as observed and screenshotted by this site's authors. Original post may have since been edited, deleted, or replied-to further; this snapshot represents what was visible at the time of capture.
