I’ll keep this review as general as possible, but unfortunately, my child’s first year at this school will also be his last.My child is autistic and has an IEP, so communication and collaboration with the school are extremely important to me. Unfortunately, when I asked who his speech therapist was, neither his teacher nor the front office staff could provide me with her name. I had to reach out elsewhere to get the information myself. I also requested a phone call or meeting to discuss his IEP, services, and expectations for the school year, and I am still waiting.There have also been ongoing concerns regarding a medical condition that requires care from a specialist. I followed the school’s request and scheduled the appointment, and the school was given the appointment date. Despite that, I have continued receiving frequent calls, emails, and messages requesting updates. My child has even been sent home from school multiple times because the appointment had not yet taken place.The school also requested that medication and the required paperwork be provided. Again, I took care of what was requested. However, because there was a minor tear on the prescription, the medication could not be accepted, and once again, I had to leave work and pick my child up from school. At this point, it feels like no matter what I do to comply with the school’s requests, there is always another issue that results in my child being sent home.When I expressed my concerns to administration, I was essentially told that the school was just following policy and that there was nothing they could do. As a parent, that response was extremely disappointing.Overall, this has been an incredibly frustrating and unenjoyable experience for both my child and me. I expected communication, understanding, and teamwork when it comes to my child’s education and well-being. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience.I truly hope other families have a better experience, but based on ours, I would not recommend this school to other elementary-school parents.
