This is the WORST school to bring your kids.

My son, who has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), deserves a safe and supportive school environment. Unfortunately, his time at this school has been the opposite. Instead of receiving the protection, guidance, and consistency he needed, he experienced ongoing bullying while the school failed to take meaningful action. As a parent, it has been heartbreaking to watch my child struggle not because of his abilities, but because the very people who were supposed to help him ignored his needs.From the beginning, I did everything I could to communicate with the school. I reached out to the woman assigned to support my son through his IEP. She told me she would talk to him about the bullying and help him feel safe. She even promised that she would take him out every day to check on him—as long as he was doing well in his classes. I trusted her. My son trusted her. But that promise was never kept.Instead of receiving daily check-ins or support, my son was left alone to deal with bullying that continued to get worse. Each day, he came home more stressed, more anxious, and more afraid to return to school. The person who was supposed to help him barely followed through on her word, and the school did not intervene to stop the bullying. There were no real changes, no consistent follow-ups, and no plan to protect him.For a child with an IEP, structure, trust, and support are critical. When the school breaks that trust, it affects the student emotionally, academically, and socially. In my son’s case, the school’s lack of action made the situation worse. The bullying continued because no one stepped in to prevent it. Instead of feeling safe, he felt abandoned and unheard. No child should ever feel that way.Overall, this school has been the worst experience for my son. Not only did they fail to support his IEP needs, but they also allowed bullying to continue while offering empty promises. My son deserved better. Every child deserves a school that listens, protects, and supports them. Sadly, this school did not meet even the most basic expectations, and my son paid the price for their lack of responsibility.

This school has a bad reputation. When we go on field trips or when our teachers tell them what school they teach at they are looked down on. It really isn't that bad, this school is fun and there are lots of kind students. There are only a few kids that are bad like how people say (mostly boys). This school is fun and the best elective is choir. I'm currently in choir and it's really fun I will most likely join choir in high school. Our choir teacher is AMAZING! Choir makes you feel so welcome! I became friends with all 35 kids in my class!! But to sum it up! Sycamore isn't such a bad school, ps. Join choir! :D
