I have 4 kids in this school district across various grades and realistically have no complaints. When my kids needed special accommodations and services they provided them and did a great job assessing and communicating along the way. Maybe I'm low maintenance.

Our experience at MOHS has been a mix of positives and challenges. One of the biggest concerns has been the lack of proper response to bullying incidents. Issues were raised but not adequately addressed, leaving students feeling unsupported. Additionally, some teachers view students with 504 plans or IEPs as "too needy" and have even said this directly to them, which is discouraging and inappropriate to talk to special needs kids like that.There are also teachers who have a very strict approach, teaching as if they were in a college lecture rather than a high school classroom, which can make learning difficult for some students. However, on the positive side, there are also some truly dedicated and supportive teachers who make a difference in students' lives. The school counselors have been helpful and supportive, which is one of the few bright spots in our experience.Overall, while the environment hasn’t always been ideal, my child was able to find the right teachers and resources to navigate through the challenges and make the most of their time here. I hope the school takes steps to improve its inclusivity and support for all students.

Sandshore Road Elementary is a great school with excellent staff in a great community!
