Well, I have a student currently enrolled that has an IEP they dropped the ball on and somehow provided him with no services or support until the last 3 weeks of the semester. They then tried to blame the state and said he was not on their system he has been on for multiple years. I fill put the state questionares on yhe state link for every IEP review. They refused to help him and labeled him a problem child when his attitude started to deteriorate do to being neglected and left to fail. Nobody at this facility would return a talking points messages or address my emails, phone calls or in person appeals. I had to wait over 24 hours for someone t9 be able to explain to me he was not reciebing services. I have moved him to virtual and it has been second verse same as the first. This is the worst school system in Tulsa. The teachers do not care about the students the principal is ne or in the building does not return messages or phone calls and did not feel my student was worth reaching out for even after being made aware he had been neglected and undeserved on her watch. In my opinion they are negligent and incompetent at best

Personally, I would rate my experience at this school a whopping 4/5. Just because of some encounters with some specific teachers, I had to take off some points - but that doesn't mean all the teachers are the same way. All teachers are different. While as I might like a specific teacher, you might absolutely hate them. The amount of electives that Union offers is absolutely ridiculous, of course in a good way. As students advance in years, they are offered more and more classes to take. Most of the teachers I've encountered, 100% want all of their students to succeed. Also, has anyone talked about how much Union cares about college readiness? While I was in eighth grade, some people came into my class and talked about a program that would be able to pay some part of your college, as long as you met the requirements, you live in oklahoma, and you attend a oklahoma college. They also encouraged everyone to go apply for this program, which I believe is called Oklahoma Promise. (I think.) I have been going to Union since Pre-K. I would have to say Union is by far of the best schools you can enroll in. There are countless opportunities given to students, and as a student myself I think that is great. The only thing that I find really unusual about this school district, is how little funding music electives get, and how teachers have to to supply their own classroom with supplies. Many of these teachers don't get paid much, so it's kind of a letdown to see teachers spending their own hard earned pocket money on simple supplies like pencils, sharpeners, and paper.

Bad school kids are vaping and saying cuss words, bathrooms are horrible

muy buena escuela, los profesores son muy buenos

I had started to rewrite this many times. Hopefully I can keep this short and to the point, as thinking about the unprofessionalism with some of the teachers make me livid. Many occurrences that had happened to both of my kids, bullying by kids and a few teachers unfair treatment because of some behavioral issues with my son, which was being handle by a Creoks counselor that came out and was a great advocate for my son. The counselor even noticed how there were some mistreatment and stood up for him when I couldn't. I believe 3 of the teachers I have had extreme unpleasant experiences are no longer there, This was back in 2017. However, one of the teachers is still there. If you do have a kid that comes home and says concerning things about a teacher please don't take it lightly even if it something as simple as my teacher doesn't listen to me. I have seen teachers tell their students to reach out to them and then shut the kid up for trying to ask a question. that is confusing for a kid. What I have noticed is that there is more done for the kids that are already doing well or partially well. Not much for those who are really struggling or seen as a "problem". Oh and the amount of homework coming home was not ideal. *Being 20/21 school year and my kids are having zoom meetings, I have a better picture on how some teachers are talking to the kids and it is not ok that is why this review is a little late. The tone they hold with the kids are not the same with the parents, they are building distrust in the education system for some kids. I don't mind being stern or strict, but some of the teachers need to stop going on a power trip with elementary kids. My kids are currently out of peters but still within union district.
