Piedmont, SC 29673

Please be advised: along w/their middle school & the transition across the st the thr high-school, I beseech you, DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR HOME TO ENSURE YOUR STUDENT ATTENDS EITHER OF WRENS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. I cannot emphasize thid adequately & only share from our own family's middle/high school personal journeys. Lastly to brief, TAKE HEED THIS: ALL SPED PARENTS, EACH & EVERY ONE. From one very experienced DOED patent to another--STOP NOW, BEFORE their registration to become a part of the Wren schools student body****If you have a SPECIAL NEEDS student no matter their severity, RUN dont walk AWAY!!!! From either their middle or high- school.Even if you meet in advance with administration, multiple times, in any fashion..such as virtually because you're still out of state or have yet to relocate or are looking for your home still, you still have time to avoid the most egregious of ruining of your special needs 1 time only education in each grade as you will ponder home education on every level. Don't mistake our truthful collective testimony alone. Keep digging if this does not suffice. It is all there among us the hundreds of special needs parents unable to go back & make a new choice and we would give anything to! Find an online special needs parental tribe.....do your due diligence in research. Scratching thr surface is not necessary. One may only see what is right there in your face publicly. We are here, we are everywhere and dying to share every detail beyond just this forum. Unless you cannot understand the whys and how's at minimum skip around RENT FIRST during a summer and if not persuaded then, it shakes us to our very core what all you are about to lose and embark upon.. in advance.

I’m a current 8th grader and while I’ve had some good experiences, the majority of the days are rough. Some teachers won’t teach and will not correct behaviour even if it is occurring every single day. Students can be incredibly rude and staff does nothing about it even if reported. The only teachers that I actually like are Mrs. Tarbutton, Mrs. Wise, Dr. Phibbs and Dr. Leo because they will correct behaviour if needed.

The teachers are amazing and dedicated. There is a very small group of very dedicated parent volunteers who make it feel like there is a lot more parent involvement than there really is. The nurse is excellent. Bullying is not handled well at this school. There were several episodes involving my child on the bus that weren't properly recorded by the video cameras, so because there was "no proof", nothing was done. As a result, we had to remove our child from the bus for the remainder of the year. When some of the bullies are caught, finally, we are not told who the child is or what punishment was handed out. It is hard to feel confident in your childs safety when you don't know which kid is teasing him and therefore can't avoid that child during other activities such as play parties, church, etc
