Aberdeen Elementary is a school I definitely wouldn’t recommend ANY parent. This school has put my child through risk, depression, anxiety, and more. She would come home to me crying about the kids there picking at her and beating on her. I reached out to her teachers MULTIPLE TIMES and they said that they would handle the situation. It stayed the same the whole year. My daughter was so happy and carefree before she attended this school. I did not have the choice to switch her school because of our financial situation, and I needed her to get a good education. She is in the 3rd grade mind you, and all this was happening to her. My daughter says the school food they had provided was expired and inedible most of the time and she couldn’t even eat. She’d come home STARVING each day and it has worried me a lot. My daughter has told me that her teacher had physically hurt students, yell at the class, and even use inappropriate language around them. He would even pick on the kids too. I am not writing this review as a hate speech at all whatsoever but to share MY experience. I hope this school improves next year and handles situations like this better in the future.

My experience with this school is horrible. My son is EC with an IEP that no one follows. The school administration, teachers, and staff are abysmal with parent communication, racial bias, and consistency in standards. My student is not the only one with this experience. Teachers and administration blowing off conferences and waiting until testing time to care about grades. The standards here are not what I expect out of any school.

I’m very concerned about how this school is handling behavior and student safety. My daughter no longer feels safe or comfortable in class because disruptive and bullying behavior is often ignored. It’s clear that teachers are hesitant to address certain students’ actions, and that hesitation seems to stem from fear of being labeled as racist — since most of the teachers are white and many of the students causing issues are Black.This has created an environment where inappropriate behavior is tolerated, and students who want to learn are the ones who suffer. No teacher should feel afraid to enforce rules fairly, and no student should feel unsafe or distracted because the classroom is out of control.I hope the faculty address these issues soon.
