This is the worst school I have ever dealt with. Communication between teachers and administration is virtually nonexistent, leaving parents constantly chasing information that should be proactively shared.The newly formed CSS program is extremely disappointing. It feels poorly planned, incomplete, and lacking meaningful structure. Instead of providing appropriate academic and behavioral support, it functions more like a glorified day care. Expectations are low, follow-through is inconsistent, and there is little evidence of intentional instruction or progress monitoring.The school environment itself is equally troubling. The building is old, depressing, and visibly neglected. Cleanliness is a serious concern—there are bugs, both dead and alive, throughout the building. The overall atmosphere feels outdated and uncared for, which does nothing to support learning, emotional regulation, or student well-being.Additionally, the program site coach stated that she had no experience working with autistic children, yet is responsible for managing the CSS program. Emails routinely go unanswered, communication is minimal, and basic tasks that could easily be handled electronically are instead delayed or handled inefficiently. She is not approachable and seems unavailable, often appearing preoccupied with responsibilities outside of this school.Overall, this school feels stuck in the stone age—outdated practices, poor communication, and minimal accountability. Families of children who require structured, specialized support deserve far better than what is being offered here.I would not recommend this school, especially for students who need consistent, well-designed support programs.

My child comes home crying everyday. She gets bullied for having her legs fractured and how shes poor. I keep telling her teacher and she just says ‘we’ll look into’ and nothing happens. Do NOT send your children here.

I would rate my experience at this school as an average experience. The administrative stuff and the teachers are really nice and helpful. The security is screaming at the students to move. One gets used to it.. The school offers all kinds of clubs, nobody has to feel left out. The level of education is truly not the best, many kids are on their phones during class or cheat on tests, there's almost no homework for non IB students. That has to change. There were some fights, especially at the end of the school year, because kids got bored. In overall Terry Parker High School is an okay school, which can still improve.
