Sadly, this school put my child with special needs in danger and then completely abandoned her. This was our home district and we were happy to get my children into what we thought was a kind and inclusive school community. The problem at Miles wasn't the teachers, they are caring and creative, the problem is poor resources and ineffective and inflexible administration. The district will try to get out of paying anything they can for students with special needs. I had a letter documenting my child's need for an aide from her developmental pediatrician and they had the data from the school showing she clearly needed 1:1 support but they still would not provide it due to the cost. When my 5 year old got away from her teacher who was in charge of a whole kindergarten class and ran into a busy street they finally recognized that she needed some aide support. That was several months into the year when she had already been endangered by their reckless policies. Then when school went to online only in March 2020 and my 6 year old child with special needs could not learn that way, admin just gave up and refused to educate her. They would not bring her in for tutoring or any services, nothing, even though her special ed teacher recognized that she could not learn online and wanted to teach her in person and felt she could do it safely, admin refused and completely abandoned her. The school has remained shuttered for an entire year now, 12 months, to students who desperately needed in person education, what a travesty, I feel terribly for any students stuck in TUSD who needed in person education and have list out on so much. I am so incredibly thankful we got our kids into CFSD, they are doing an excellent job educating all children safely even during a challenging year and are a much more welcoming and inclusive community!

Vesey is a school my mom went to when she was young. I went to Vesey when I was a child. I thought this would be a perfect place for my child to also attend. Well, I was incredibly wrong. Vesey has repeatedly failed to protect my daughter from bullying. They do not notify me when my child's been hurt, only after they've dismissed her back to class, am I informed. More than one occurrence of this and a week after my child was punched in the face by an older student, the staff has done nothing they have said they will do. Making excuses why they were busy and my daughter being physically assaulted wasn't a priority. Setting an example that they tolerate bullying and violence. There seems to be a lack of procedures and policies for these kinds of things. The only person that talked to me about my child being harmed was the nurse. No one from administration. So if you want your kids bullied and punched, with staff that goes days before addressing anything, Vesey is the place for you!

the school is very organized and teachers are respectful and help my children learn more but this one teacher is overpiling my children with work i dont know if she still goes to the school

This school sets you up well for the future with a great counseling department and effective teachers. Yes, there is a hefty workload, but this is communicated to incoming students before they enroll. It has a good environment and a helpful staff. If a student can stick with it and get through their freshman year, I can guarantee they will be successful through their high-school career and beyond.

This school was only wonderful if you took the IB classes, AVID, or dual enrollment. The teachers in those classes are helpful and they WANT to teach. If you are planning on enrolling your child to this school, have them enroll in IB, especially IB history.

This program helps students who cannot attend classes for a variety of reasons. This helps students attain their education despite difficult circumstances.
