If I could leave 0 stars I would. My has attended the GMP program since the 6th grade here. The GMP program itself is fantastic. That said, this school is terrible with admin that do not care about your students. My son was allowed to be assaulted and bullied all year this year. They claimed they had no knowledge of the bullying that was occuring during school hours on school grounds. A student had to anonymously report it to Safe2Tell to even be on their radar. The Gifted Magnet hall doesn't have as much security as the rest of the building, which is a shame. Your kids aren't held to the same safety as the rest of the school. When we asked the staff, namely the principal how this could happen all year without staff knowledge, since it was physical and during passing periods, she victim blamed my son and said he should have said something. My husband had to go to the area superintendent to even have a meaningful conversation. Once the safety and leadership issues get resolved then Sabin could be a wonderful school, but it kind of sucks this is one of the only options for the GMP kids.

AVOID THIS RACIST SCHOOL AT ALL COST

Currently I have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener.Our family has been at Rudy Elementary since January 2022. Our personal experience over the past couple of years has truly been remarkable. My child came into Rudy with an IEP and Rudy welcomed him with open arms. The teachers and I have been able to work as a team throughout his early childhood to come up with plans and solutions for a lot of his behavioral and academic concerns. I was never made to feel like I was being a burden or a bother when it came to addressing issues with my child's care and education. Even in more recent times, that have brought more adverse situations because of my child's behavior, I was consistently reassured that we are a team and I have support from within the school. I have appreciated the communication throughout the years and I would recommend Rudy to anyone, but especially anyone with a child in need of a great SPED team. The entire SPED/Psych department is great, but I need to give a specific shout out to Rudy's Special Education Generalist, Brandy Loseke. She has been a blessing to my child's life and we need more educators like her. She always makes my child feel loved and wanted. She has the, "you CAN do it," attitude that so many children benefit from being exposed to.It was a no brainer to also put my 2nd child through the preschool program here at Rudy. They are currently a kindergartener here and so far it has also been great. The Kindergarten teacher is consistently updating us parents of their classroom activities and milestones. The opportunity to be involved in the classroom is always there, even on field trips. Rudy has also presented my family a sense of community and a plethora of new friends. There are activities that the school organizes scattered throughout the year that make the year exciting for the kids and their families.
