GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
It's been a few years since my children were at this school, but I think other parents need to know about our experiences. Teachers are not held accountable for misbehavior in the classroom or neglect on the playground. My special needs child was able to run off campus more than once and was only caught by me pulling up early for pickup. Said child was also forced to mainstream despite several hours a week of pull out services and not being able to participate at all in lessons due to being so far behind academically. I repeatedly saw great teachers fight losing battles, not being supported by admin, and forced to do less.The only saving grace at Landmark is the amazing secretaries in the front office.
