Our experience with this school’s administration was extremely frustrating and disappointing. While the school promotes multiple “layers of support,” the reality is a system buried in red tape that creates barriers rather than access — particularly for neurodiverse children and their families.Communication from the administrative staff was consistently rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. Simple questions required navigating multiple people, repeated follow-ups, and unclear processes. Rather than collaborating with parents, the tone often felt adversarial, as though families were obstacles instead of partners.For a school that claims to support diverse learning needs, there was a striking lack of flexibility, empathy, and practical problem-solving. The structures in place appear performative rather than functional — more about checking boxes than actually supporting children who don’t fit neatly into a mold.Families with neurodiverse children should be aware that despite the language used in marketing materials, meaningful support is difficult to access and often blocked by bureaucracy. We expected professionalism, compassion, and collaboration, and unfortunately experienced the opposite.
