They have teacher that are unprofessional and set a very poor example in the community. I would be very concerned with them teaching my children

Went in the school in February for my son’s IEP meeting. The principal brought my disabled son down to the meeting mid way through and told my disabled child that it was time for him to man up…… I’ve been waiting since February for the school year to end so I felt confident in his care having to leave him in the school while working out home school program best suited for him. She is an absolute terrible principal. I haven’t slept much since and so grateful my baby never has to enter that building again.

This school has been extremely disappointing. The quality of teaching is poor, and many teachers appear disengaged and are often not actively instructing students. The administrative staff is similarly ineffective, frequently delaying important tasks until the last minute and requiring repeated follow-ups before any action is taken.The school’s handling of emergencies is especially concerning. Staff members are often unresponsive when contacted and have been observed continuing conversations with colleagues instead of addressing urgent situations. Additionally, basic hygiene standards are neglected; bathrooms frequently lack soap, and hand sanitizer dispensers are consistently empty, creating unsanitary conditions.Dr. Hammel, the principal, consistently avoids accountability and fails to follow through on responsibilities. Promised callbacks are rarely made. Overall, staff members treat students in a condescending manner, as though they are much younger, creating an environment that feels overly restrictive rather than supportive. Instead of preparing students for adulthood, the school fosters immaturity.The management of IEPs is also deeply flawed. Meetings lack clear explanations, and important accommodation documents are frequently misplaced. This disorganization has caused significant distress for my child and reflects a serious failure to meet students’ needs.This school has had a serious negative impact on my daughter’s mental health, with stress levels so high that she frequently feels close to passing out. The school store sold energy drinks to students, which directly contributed to my daughter experiencing a medical emergency that resulted in hospitalization. These ongoing issues reflect a troubling lack of concern for student well-being and safety.
