10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy autistic son went without water for lunch and until 1 pm with 0 help from the teachers, it took me writing an email and even then principal had 0 answers for why he wasn’t able to get water until 1 pm. Gym teacher singled out my son after a kid threw a ball at him twice, my son threw it back and gym teacher only took him out and told my son the group was better off without him and the other student who sat out from the start of the class due to throwing the ball backwards. Principal lies about policies, I wanted to record the meeting about my son and the incident that happened she emailed me saying it’s student privacy policy, then she emailed me again saying page 401 appendix C which has nothing to do with prohibiting recording meetings about your child with principal and only has to do with suspension. My son had Pokémon cards stolen from him the start of the year, because he was new and didn’t know kids names nothing could be done, undercooked pasta/food. IEP staff doesn’t follow actual medical diagnosis and won’t do anything to help your kid if they have a learning disability/mental disability. Better off homeschoolingParent Review1y ago
