GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My son attended kinder at Gardner and struggled a lot. He was given an IEP (Individual Education Plan) for Special Needs one month before end of school year. I had been asking for help all year, to get help, for an assessment testing to be done on him. He is a bright child and gifted but the education system I feel has failed him. He scored average to above average academically but low on behavior and pragmatic language as he is in the spectrum/has autism. He is extremely intelligent, truly a talented smart boy, but he has suffered so much while attending school as he is not being undertood as a child with special needs before and after his assesment Since he started kinder the difficulties have only gotten worse. Bullying is one of the problems especially for him with autism. Teachers not undertstanding his triggers, sensitivity to noise and changes and need for extra time to transiton. I plan to homeschool my child starting in the fall 2025. I wish for no parent to ever go through the pain, frustation and challenges we went through. Hoping the best for all other families, but the educational system isn't what is best for my son, our experience here was not the best.

"The “can I speak to the managers” are about 1 in 20. Most people are very caring and friendly. There are a fair amount of homeless people in the area who break into whatever they can, including to shower in our private community. I feel unsafe walking after dark. Lots of families and dogs, if that’s what you care about. "
