Horrible experience for my sixth grader. It is clear that Biltmore Preparatory is keen on academics, which appears to be their main focus, to a certain degree that is wonderful. In my humble opinion, not more important than a child’s emotional well-being. I can say confidently that emotional well-being is not on their priority list. Although in their student policy book it’s speaks in detail on the different forms of bullying, and how it is absolutely not tolerated. That is not the case my sixth grader who in constantly being harassed by her peers whom are older than her. In spite of me advising the school months ago of my concerns, after reading my child’s diary of wanting to kill herself, due to the emotional abuse she’s receiving from her older peers at school. Perhaps because her grades are not that great, it was not really a big concern for them. I reached out to the superintendent after not feeling heard, or not being made aware of any actions put in place to ensure that, my daughter would be able to attend school in an environment, per the policy on page 18 of the student handbag. 5 months later of my child dealing with emotional distress, and on one reported occasion, physical, my daughter felt the only safe space for her to eat lunch in a harassment free environment, would be in a bathroom stall next to a toilet with the door locked, after the teacher who she normally eats lunch in the classroom advised her that she would not be able to eat lunch in her classroom on that particular day. I did not even mention this to staff, they won. More than likely they will not understand why she ate in the bathroom. It appears as though child psychology is really an understanding that the staff that I’ve had dealings with under nor embody. I said all the above, if perhaps a parent is having issues with bullying, and you read the reviews and see what a wonderful school Biltmore Preparatory is, you will do a bit more research so that your child will not have to experience any harm be it, physical or emotional. I will not be allowing my daughter to step another foot on their school grounds.

This school is almost like a prison
