My son is autistic and can have trouble regulating his emotions and outbursts. We moved him from a charter school (that couldn’t meet his needs) to Barbara Bush and his kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Wells. On my son’s first day Mrs. Wells put me at ease and told me “Don’t worry, We got this Mom!”. The principal, Mr. Olson, as well as the school psychologist Mrs. Lynch gave my son and I a tour of the school as well. They were very friendly and informative, and supportive. My son’s first week was a bit rocky. However, we are now at the end of week two and his behaviors are getting better everyday! Today he had an amazing day! And he is soooo proud to tell me at pick up! This school is supportive with my son’s needs. They take the time to understand him and work positively with him. They know how to engage him, motivate him and praise him. As the saying goes, “Kids do well if they can”. My son seems to be thriving here so far and this was the best choice my husband and I could have made.

This school is honestly the worst middle school ever. If you're not a white mormon they don't care about you. Kids harass anyone slightly different than them and the teachers nor staff will pay any mind to it. i was a student here and this school hasn't changed at ALL. Kids are racist, homophobic, sexist, and much more. bullying here is serious. plus, the teachers are VERY weird. We should be able to use the bathroom without passes, using the bathroom is NOT a privilege and if teachers deny students, that IS a form of child abuse. when kids are bullied here, the oppressor is given 2 day suspension and that's it. If you have other options, please go with the other schools. I would never imagine that people can be so cruel.
