My daughter got to this school her year here is bad and good be messy and mess with her but she doesn't let them she been in 1 fight last year this year someone want her to fight some girl this school good and bad I don't like my child to be here no more don't let ur child to go here it a good school but kids no

If you love your child, do NOT send them to this school. And good luck if they have no choice but to go to public school in Delaware. I visited several times since my child was disabled and not able to tell me what happened during the school day. It was extremely disturbing at each and every visit. Students have control of the teachers and staff, obscenities screamed in every hallway, disrespect and chaos throughout. In one class I visited, no one even showed up to teach the class even though the Vice Principal told me she texted the teacher the night before to tell him I was coming in for a visit and he assured her he would be there. That teacher rarely made an appearance, but nothing done about it. The students were actually going to sit there and do nothing like usual until I insisted that my child and the other disabled children in the class return to the homeroom. We went back to the class and the Vice Principal and I did work with them on the white board. There is very little learning happening- it's just bad babysitting. On another visit, a typical peer student threw a stool across the room as the Vice Principal, a male para professional, and I stood there in the same room. None of the adults except myself said a word to that student. That experience was unbelievably terrifying. I felt like I was in a jungle with wild animals and no one was interested in taming them. On another occasion I witnessed another typical peer being pulled to the front office because she had told another student that she was going to kidnap and murder her. Maybe she was joking? Whatever the case, it was not taken seriously. What type of person says those types of things- a person who needs serious help and isn't going to get it at this school. I could literally go on and on at about the heinous things our family observed and endured here. The worst one yet was what happened to my disabled child when his para forgot about him and lost him- the reason our child has panic attacks when there is a mere mention of McKean HS and we had to remove him from high school altogether. There are NO safe schools in Delaware for children with disabilities and if you REALLY want to see what is actually happening with your child at school, you will schedule an all day visit. Most of the parents I have spoken with just want to believe everything is fine. Maybe they don't have time for all day visit? I guess I just care about my my child more than they do theirs. We are all different

My kid came home and told me he killed a cockroach today in the hallway by the bathroom. He told me his teacher said too bad theres nothing they can do about it. He’s in 2nd grade. I do like the support from a learning prospective, but he really thinks his teacher is really mean this year. He liked the teachers in K and 1st grade. He peed his pants in the beginning of 2nd grade because of a 3-a-day bathroom restriction by his teacher, he thought he couldn't use the bathroom anymore so he ended up peeing his pants which was shocking to me because that never happens to him. He also tells me he was denied the nurse. I remember I had to cry and fight my teacher once for my right to go to the nurse and bathroom as well when I went to linden hill. I felt some of the teachers and staff were uncaring and rude to me when I attended this elementary school. He's going to a whole different school district next year thankfully. I feel like they push students too hard. Stand up and look out for your child's needs if they go here. Good luck.
