SPECIAL EDUCATION: This school claims to be helpful, open and accepting of those with learning disabilities/IEP. It. Is. Not. We had constant struggles the entire year with the team continually talking very negatively (mind you in front of my child) during the meetings. They did not report very many good things until asked which was very frustrating. Our child would get very discouraged during the meetings. Definitely think twice if your student is even slightly struggling in any area as they will not receive the help you hope for. SAFETY:We always knew our student was very safe while at school due to the safety precautions they had in place which was comforting as there were school shootings around the country during this school year. FAMILY ENGAGEMENT:IF and WHEN they notified of events we loved attending but a lot of times we were not notified of anything and found out through fellow parents who worked at the school who would ask if we were going to activity x, y or z. We even sat down with the principal at the start of the year and expressed our sadness of missing an event right off the bat because of lack of communication. There is a lot of that. TEACHING: Our student was not a fan of the teacher. Our student complained regularly that she was kind of mean and has come home with a lot of negative self talk and when asked where he heard it from the response was that the teacher would say those things. Absolutely broke my heart. LEARNING:Also the sheer amount of homework even for the littlest grades is absolutely horrendous. My student should not be expected to come home from a school day and proceed to do 45+ minutes of homework when they should be able to just play and be a kid.
