It is deeply discouraging when a school functions more like a rigid institution than a place of growth, especially for students whose past experiences require extra empathy and specialized support. In such environments, the "one-size-fits-all" approach often ignores the unique emotional baggage or academic gaps a student might carry, leading to a dynamic where those who need the most attention are frequently the ones overlooked or misunderstood. This lack of personalized care can make the school feel physically or emotionally unsafe, as the adults in the building may prioritize compliance over connection. When a school also creates a culture of silence—where students are discouraged or outright prevented from expressing their feelings in any way, or feel like there not getting understood-not getting the right responds needed. Teachers different with other kids from their past, or who they are. Students aren't getting the right to talk and when able to they feel like their in the wrong. Special kids, making us feel uncomfortable- They need a separated school with special kids and kids who are there to learn instead of going home and thinking about the problems that occurs in school.

This school is so amazing. All the teachers are fabulous and really care about the students. However the principal is very strict and has cut fun out of learning. Overall the school is great and I would definitely recommend sending your student here.

Fantastic school….Both of my kids have had such a positive experience!!!’
