I have a son and daughter who have attended this school for five years. My daughter is in 3rd grade and my son, in 4th grade. My son is also autistic. They have some great teachers, and some not so great teachers. I used to think very highly of the school until this year,2026. My daughter was struck upside the head with a large rock during recess by a little boy, who obviously had the urge to start throwing rocks. Can you imagine getting a call from the school nurse explaining that your kid has been hit in the head from a rock,that a little boy “unintentionally” hit her with? I stopped working and immediately went to pick her up. She had a huge goose egg on her forehead and was crying from the time I picked her up,until dinner time -because of the pain. I took her to the ER,and the pediatrician the following business day, where they concluded she did indeed have a concussion and needed to sit the week out of school. The little boy who caused her to miss a week from school, and me miss a week from work, was in school the very next day, as if everything was fine. I made an appointment to speak with the principal,Cory. I didn’t agree with the punishment the boy had gotten. No in school suspension, no out of school suspension. His punishment was a “long talk about not throwing rocks”. My daughter has still not stopped having awful headaches from this incident. I now take her to a concussion specialist bi weekly. During my conference with the principal, he stated that this was “just kids being kids and he wasn’t gonna punish kids for making a simple little mistake like that. I informed him that I went to some pretty rough schools in Montgomery ones that I would never dream of mine going to,but one thing for sure. I never had to worry about a rock hit me upside my head while being at school, nor have I ever heard of that happening to anyone at school ever.this is not something that happens at every school. I also found out that this same incident had happened in my daughter‘s friend the year before by a different little boy throwing a rock which also went unpunished.so obviously this is a reoccurring problem at this school. This is not a once a 10 years type thing, this happens quite often. I do not feel my kids are safe any longer at this school and I’m just looking forward to the day that they are finished with the school and go onto the middle school so if you think your kids are safe here, you better think again. You better tell them to look out for rocks…
