I had experienced this school for two years before we moved out of the area, and I would not recommend this school. My first experience with the principal was icy. I had no idea who she was at that conversation, and she came in so hard. It felt like she was attacking me as to why I picked up my child a little early a couple of days that week when I had written the reason on the sign-out sheet. She was rude and left me stunned; when she walked back into the office, I asked the security guard who that was, and when he said the principal, I was taken aback. My kids enjoyed their teachers. However, we got stuck with a teacher for our kindergartener who has a behavior disorder that the teacher wanted to ignore. I'm not sure how common it is for teachers to make late-night phone calls to parents or phone calls on the weekends, concerned about their child not smiling in photos, not listening, having to fill out think sheets, or getting text messages stating that the teacher isn't feeling well, and can I talk to my child to ensure they listen that day? Then, when called into a 504 meeting, the teacher disregards any prior events and states that the child doesn't have any needs of concern. I did not care for this school, and when I went into that meeting, it felt like the school/teacher was against my child instead of all of us working together to make the best plan of action for the child and the teacher. It did not seem like a school that was friendly toward children with disabilities. At the school we are at now, during the 504 meeting the school brought in their school psychologist. I went win getting ready to fight for my child, and when I left that meeting, it relieved so much anxiety to walk out of a meeting where every single person in the room was there to make it the best educational experience for the child, and everyone was on the same team. It was a completely different experience than the one at Red Mill. If we ever move back to the area, it will not be in a neighborhood zoned for this school.
