Rescue Elementary once stood as a beacon of excellence within the Rescue District. It represented an ideal combination of dedicated educators and a closely connected community. However, in the last three years, the school has experienced a decline in its sense of community. The new administration has created an environment in which parents feel excluded from the campus. Additionally, students with learning disabilities are not receiving adequate support. A significant portion of their support time is devoted to completing general education assignments rather than focusing on remediation and developing more effective strategies to address their challenges. As a parent, I find it disheartening to observe the trajectory the school is taking.

The leadership at this school is completely incompetent. It is an echo chamber where discipline is manipulated, staff uses students to turn against each other and manufacture narratives to get to their desired outcome. The district is complicit, adults only support the adults. Any complaints puts the district into defense mode and walls go up vs actually seeking resolution. Favorites are played among the students. Staff creates social struggles between the kids. Without new leadership with checks & balances, it will continue to get worse. Parents are putting in their 3 years and hoping to get out, recommend speaking up for change, too many kids are being negatively impacted. Zero advocacy for the students and massive discipline problems

Our youngest son is in his 3rd year and II’s having a good experience.
