My son was a special needs student from K through 5th grade. My son was treated poorly, and unfair the whole time he attended this school. Unfortunately I learned a little too late what was really going on. However once I learned there was NO stopping me making sure he received proper learning. Once again it was a little a too late. He was not permitted to participate in ALL of the things his typical peers participated in. He was NOT permitted to use his communication device (I have proof) in order to communicate. His IEP was NOT followed as it was supposed to be. All of these things were 100% reported to the schools principal and Super Intendent, and they did NOTHING!!! I rated learning a 1 due to the above statement.I rated teaching a 5 because there are SO MANY teachers that care about the students, but unfortunately are not permitted to teach like they know or want to make these children successful! I rated social-emotional support a 1 because the administration at the time was horrible and only either showed up to save face, or to toss around the power they had. Therefore there was NO support to teachers. The principal once again was a HUGE trigger to MANY students, teachers, and parents. Safety was also given a 1 due to the amount of children allowed to harm other students and teachers was HORRIBLE.Family engagement I gave a 2 because although they tried to keep the family's engaged families and students did not feel welcome, or did not like the atmosphere when walking in that school. They have great ideas, but until families feel welcome and children feel wanted, and the principal is gone it won't happen. I really struggled with recommending the elementary school, but until the principal is gone I would NOT recommend the Elementary school.
