I have one boy in Mt View right now, and his older brother also attended this school. Both of my kids are autistic, although on the outside they seem to be “normal.” This disparity has caused some issues for my boys through their lives, with adults who don’t know them becoming frustrated by certain behaviors that they don’t expect from kids this age - because again, they don’t “look” or “act” autistic. Mt View has been nothing short of wonderful with my kids. My youngest has severe ADHD as well, and they were proactive about putting together a plan to best support him in class so he can focus and learn and feel good about the work he’s done at the end of the day. There have been some bullying issues over the years, but I feel the school was responsive and, importantly, already aware and taking steps to rectify the situation.They are huge on family involvement. Myself, my mother, and my grandmother have all volunteered at school, during school hours. It’s pretty cool to get to sit in your son’s class for an hour and work on math with him and his friends.I feel they also do a decent job at providing a well rounded education. They have chickens and a garden, PE, art, and music. My oldest son is into some pretty creepy stuff - he’s a horror buff and a budding artist. I appreciated that when he had art assignments and would draw or sculpt something that was honestly kind of terrifying (but not inappropriate or violent. He makes characters for horror games.) the school never made him feel any type of way for his unique interest and was always just really supportive of everything he wanted to do and make. The kid is a great artist and an even greater sculptor and I really think Mt View deserves some credit for always encouraging kids to work hard and do what makes them happy.
