Please be advised: along w/their middle school & the transition across the st the thr high-school, I beseech you, DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR HOME TO ENSURE YOUR STUDENT ATTENDS EITHER OF WRENS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. I cannot emphasize thid adequately & only share from our own family's middle/high school personal journeys. Lastly to brief, TAKE HEED THIS: ALL SPED PARENTS, EACH & EVERY ONE. From one very experienced DOED patent to another--STOP NOW, BEFORE their registration to become a part of the Wren schools student body****If you have a SPECIAL NEEDS student no matter their severity, RUN dont walk AWAY!!!! From either their middle or high- school.Even if you meet in advance with administration, multiple times, in any fashion..such as virtually because you're still out of state or have yet to relocate or are looking for your home still, you still have time to avoid the most egregious of ruining of your special needs 1 time only education in each grade as you will ponder home education on every level. Don't mistake our truthful collective testimony alone. Keep digging if this does not suffice. It is all there among us the hundreds of special needs parents unable to go back & make a new choice and we would give anything to! Find an online special needs parental tribe.....do your due diligence in research. Scratching thr surface is not necessary. One may only see what is right there in your face publicly. We are here, we are everywhere and dying to share every detail beyond just this forum. Unless you cannot understand the whys and how's at minimum skip around RENT FIRST during a summer and if not persuaded then, it shakes us to our very core what all you are about to lose and embark upon.. in advance.

Worst school i have ever dealt with and as a military family does, I have been to many schools. None have let me down, and my children down as the ridiculous staff at wren middle school. Protecting bullies, dismissing and punishing victims, suspensions with no proof of any wrong doing. Even threatened to expell my child for using the school email to email school assignments to a fellow student. They have done nothing but harrass my child from day one. I would explore any and wvery parent to be more involved with their children that attend this school. As a father I feel like crap thinking my child was making up stories and didn't believe him. These staff AND teachers are not what I expected from this school. Horrible, and I've seen rough schools with no extra funding treat their students better. I cant express my anger, and disappointment enough in everyone involved here. From the staff making these actions and the board for allowing such nonsense. Guess I know what elections ill be taking part in for now on. And I am going for ZERO incumbents.

The teachers are amazing and dedicated. There is a very small group of very dedicated parent volunteers who make it feel like there is a lot more parent involvement than there really is. The nurse is excellent. Bullying is not handled well at this school. There were several episodes involving my child on the bus that weren't properly recorded by the video cameras, so because there was "no proof", nothing was done. As a result, we had to remove our child from the bus for the remainder of the year. When some of the bullies are caught, finally, we are not told who the child is or what punishment was handed out. It is hard to feel confident in your childs safety when you don't know which kid is teasing him and therefore can't avoid that child during other activities such as play parties, church, etc
