All I have to say is, "Run! Don't walk run!" We gave up our dream home 2 years ago to get my daughter into what we thought was the best school district for learning and accommodations. The rent we pay now is twice that of our house for less than half the space. We're now in debt from living here and they will not help my disabled daughter with accommodations because she's gifted and doesn't show her disabilities outwardly. She masks. Their welcome page brags that they are concerned with the whole child, not just grades. This couldn't be further from the truth. We've struggled for 2 full school years to get my daughter the accommodations she needs with notes from 4 different doctors from Children's Hospital. They just stopped communicating with us totally. Now she's going into the Junior High with no help. It's baptism by fire. The Superintendent is completely unresponsive and the administration is too busy patting each other on the back to notice the damage they've done to my daughter. She used to love school but by the end of this year she was begging to stay home. She missed enough for other medical reasons, so there's no room for anxiety.I'm worried for her mental well-being. They are definitely not and treat me like a helicopter mom who's making it all up. She's doing well acedemically in spite of her disabilities. Some bullying was taken care of, but she was offered to change classes by the teacher just to be told by her counselor that it was too close to the end of the school year to make the change. That makes no sense. Why would she be made to stay in a hostile environment?Were crying over our losses. Don't make the same mistake we did.Run, run, run!

I like Maple Dale Elementary a lot. My daughter is thriving there. I like it because: 1) the gift program gives kids new opportunities; 2) the teachers are great; 3) according to my daughter, she does not see bullying; 4) the teachers work hard to help kids develop reading habit and guide them to like reading.
