Sadly, this school put my child with special needs in danger and then completely abandoned her. This was our home district and we were happy to get my children into what we thought was a kind and inclusive school community. The problem at Miles wasn't the teachers, they are caring and creative, the problem is poor resources and ineffective and inflexible administration. The district will try to get out of paying anything they can for students with special needs. I had a letter documenting my child's need for an aide from her developmental pediatrician and they had the data from the school showing she clearly needed 1:1 support but they still would not provide it due to the cost. When my 5 year old got away from her teacher who was in charge of a whole kindergarten class and ran into a busy street they finally recognized that she needed some aide support. That was several months into the year when she had already been endangered by their reckless policies. Then when school went to online only in March 2020 and my 6 year old child with special needs could not learn that way, admin just gave up and refused to educate her. They would not bring her in for tutoring or any services, nothing, even though her special ed teacher recognized that she could not learn online and wanted to teach her in person and felt she could do it safely, admin refused and completely abandoned her. The school has remained shuttered for an entire year now, 12 months, to students who desperately needed in person education, what a travesty, I feel terribly for any students stuck in TUSD who needed in person education and have list out on so much. I am so incredibly thankful we got our kids into CFSD, they are doing an excellent job educating all children safely even during a challenging year and are a much more welcoming and inclusive community!

We are very happy with our daughter's academic success. We have noticed a positive change in her development. She loves going to school and she loves her teacher.Some parents think that the education of our children is 100% the teacher's responsibility, but it doesn't work that way.Teachers are of great support to us. But it is my responsibility as a parent to teach our daughter not to bother other students. It is my responsibility that my daughter know how to behave in class.It is my responsibility to check my daughter's backpack every day.It is my as well as my daughter's responsibility to comply with homework assignments.A good foundation, respect and education, start at home.We are very grateful to the school for helping us get the best from our daughter. I don't think there are bad schools. I think it's the work of teachers, parents and students working together to obtain the desired academic success.
