My first experience was with the nurse. Her bedside manner was trash. Only to hear from other staff, many people have the same experience. My second experience was with the assist principle of the magnet program. Whom is also the 504 coordinator. In the years I've dealt with my childs 504 plan, my experience with him, genuinely made me feel like he cared less about my daughter medical conditions and her needs. So now I am preparing to have a discussion with my child about removing herself from the program because the nursing program (magnet school) she's in, doesn't care to accommodate her medical (of allllllll the things) situation. I learned today that the 504 is not in place to assist my daughter in avoiding a seizure, they only care if she has a seizure because, THEN it affects them.

Besides the principal the communication is horrible! I left a review on google. This year for my child has just left a sour taste.

Looking at the test scores for this school tells you a lot. My child required specialized services which the school always fought back on. Any complaint was met with resistance and retaliation. The staff became rude to me and we eventually left the school which is the best choice I could have made. My child was supposedly doing well and making As and Bs at Thornton even though he had trouble on his standardized testing. When he arrived at his new school he was so far behind and his teachers were shocked he had not received specialized services sooner. He is now getting the services he deserves at a school that actually cares about its students.
