The experience my children had at this school was detrimental to their health and education. Bullying was extreme and administration did not handle the situation as it states they will in their policy. The counselor not only councils all the students, but is also the person responsible for making sure the bullying policy is upheld. The PTA is active, but they can’t keep other parent groups open- especially if it’s for special needs parents. In fact, they barely advertised what they did have for parents of special needs children and it would not surprise me if many parents who would need a group like that even know that it exists. It is difficult to get IEP’s. We were told by a state moderator that it may take up to 8 years to get an IEP, which doesn’t help anyone- that’s almost their whole school experience. One of my children had one teacher that was very negative, spoke to my child in a demeaning way every day and severely impacted my child’s mental health. Neither of my children wanted to go to school to the point of panic attacks, refusal to eat, not sleeping, and etc. to the point that we had to seek medical attention. Our experience with the principal was also very negative and non- supportive. There’s been changes in the school board and there’s now a new superintendent, but the previous superintendent was also very difficult to work with. Both of my children are in therapy and they bring up their feelings about what happened here often. It makes us so sad, because we wanted their experience at school to be a positive one. Unfortunately things got so bad that we had to make alternate plans for their educations.
