The review from the parent who gave Big Flats 1 star is spot on.. They tried insinuating my 2nd grader needed to be seen because "he had too much energy" So when we took him in the Doctor said to disregard that teacher, she sends all the kids to be seen who dont walk on her dotted line. I got a letter sent home saying "today during story time he crawled around on the mat and this is unacceptable" Then they threatened to suspend him for violating the school zero tolerance policy by drawing a picture of his Lego men having a battle. Some of the teachers there are great, others get away with imposing their views on your kids.

Intensive scheduling where half the semester was literally retaking old tests taught me how to take a test, but was a HUGE setback in effectively writing papers, problem solving, or learning much more than how to take a test. If the district hasn't done away with it, DON'T let your children be roped into the Regents program!

Bus drivers are horrible at their jobs, can't handle kids and they become very chaotic, their drop off and pick up system MAKES kids late, they have too short of a 10th period and no one is allowed to leave (even an instrument pass), multiple teachers leave the classroom and leave kids alone, multiple bullying/attempted bullying incidents (including myself), multiple fights (a kid got hit in the head with a metal water bottle and continued to come to school not even a week later), they rarely update their website, they had a teacher who was retired come back because they didn't have enough teachers instead of having a substitute, and overall is just a bad school.
