As a parent of an autistic child, I had concerns about this school environment from the beginning, particularly regarding structure, support, student behavior, and how students with disabilities are treated socially and emotionally.Recently, my son reported repeated teasing from another student involving comments about him being autistic. He also shared that he informed staff previously and felt the issue was not addressed. After a separate recess incident involving another student and a basketball being thrown hard enough to hurt him, I felt it was important to advocate more strongly for his safety and emotional well-being.I understand no school is perfect and children can have conflicts anywhere, but as a parent, I did not feel confident that this environment was the best fit for my child’s needs. My experience left me concerned about supervision, social-emotional support, and responsiveness to bullying concerns involving students with disabilities.Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, supported, and protected at school. For families considering this school, especially families with children who have IEPs, autism, or sensory/social support needs, I strongly encourage asking detailed questions about how disability-related teasing, bullying concerns, and student support are handled on campus.Ultimately, I decided to pursue a different educational environment that I believe will provide more structure, support, and accountability for my son.
