Great extracurricular activities and after school programs.

My experience with Brownsburg West Middle School, under the leadership of Principal Nicole Walker, was deeply disappointing and distressing. My special needs daughter was unjustly expelled from all district schools during her time there. This expulsion has had lasting, detrimental effects on her well-being and opportunities as she transitioned into adulthood. The decision made by the school administration has left an indelible negative impact on my daughter's life.

Completely agree about the learning difficulties/differences. My son struggles to spell words. I was told for the second time around let’s wait 3 months see if he can catch up, finally around Christmas time, I was told he was tested, then it wasn’t for another month or two his teacher told me that when tested for dyslexia it was negative.I, later found out, they didn’t actually test him, they merely preformed a “screener” for the test. I am just completely outraged and can’t believe how horribly they deal with these situations l. My son is falling behind, going into the 5th grade, and still can’t spell many simple 4-5 letter words. I also found out that my son, so that he could finish his in-class schoolwork, would go to the teacher and tell her what he wanted the response/answer to say, and return, his teacher had to write out many of his answers, in which, he would just copy onto the school work. They also do this whole no homework thing which is setting all and every kid up for failure, In Theory, yes it’s extremely nice for the kids to not have any homework, but if your child is struggling, there is no way for you to help them, because all school work is done in class. Homework is essential!, this is how children learn how to study, coping mechanisms, time management, etc… When children do homework they are independently challenging themselves and skill building, and figuring out which learning methods work best for them. Anyways it’s such a delay in care and extremely sad.
