I was locked in a padded room in the elementary constantly over little things. If u have a child with mental challenges don’t take them to this school. I was locked in there for hours on end crying to be let out and asking for my consular only to be refused. Once I got to middle school I was so traumatized I was so scared when they tried to send me to a room to calm down in fear of being locked away for hours. It was a fairly small room. I would be told to calm down but out of pure fear and panic it was impossible to. I was sent to a therapy school and it’s the best decision to ever happen to me.

Being a parent of a black son, this school district has made me uncomfortable several times ! They don’t like black children in their district! My son has been mistreated with a IEP!

As a Freshman who just started this school i can say that they give a lot of options for mine and many other students future. Almost everyday there is an email sent out to students about new scholarship programs and applications, this is a very rare opportunity that you don't see at many schools around Missouri. The teachers are very kind and treat all students as if they were mature adults and not idiotic teenagers. Not only are the teachers amazing, but the students too. As i walk around the hallways and into classrooms everyone is nice to each other and they don't treat each other differently. If you were to send your child/children to this school district you wouldn't have to worry about bullying or a gap in their education. If you are looking for a school to enroll your child in, choose Orchard Farm!!!
