My son has been going to the school his whole Middle School career and he's about to graduate to go to high school this school has been very uncooperative and not easy to get a hold of connecting with them is almost impossible they don't tell me when things are going on I missed so many awards ceremonies not only that but my son is autistic and I feel like they discriminate against him he doesn't get to participate in certain things just this morning he told me there was no school cuz the teacher told him not to come because there's a Medieval Festival and they didn't want him there to deal with him not only that but my son has come home a couple times acting very weird and he told me some of his friends gave him some blue and green pills that made him feel funny and the school is apparently doing nothing about that I have tried to reach out to the school about lost items of my sons with nothing in return he has not come home with two water bottles and a very expensive rain jacket and they have never gotten back to me even though I have left multiple messages I would absolutely not recommend taking your child to the school as they come across to me as discriminatory hard to deal with detached and untrustworthy

As a parent, my experience with Doherty High School has raised serious concerns about student accountability and safety.On one occasion the school reported that my daughter was not in the building, when she was actually inside the school the entire time. Staff could not account for her location. For a school responsible for hundreds of students, that level of uncertainty is alarming.Students frequently appear able to leave campus during the school day without anyone noticing or following up. In practice, there seems to be very little real accountability for where students are once they arrive at school.Academic support has also been disappointing. When students begin falling behind, meaningful help or intervention is difficult to find. Concerns about grades are often minimized rather than addressed, which leaves students struggling without the guidance they need.There are also broader issues with the environment at the school. Students smoking or using substances in bathrooms appears to be widely known among students. Reckless driving through the parking lot is common and creates real safety risks for students walking to and from the building.Perhaps most concerning is that some teachers themselves have expressed frustration that the culture and standards at the school have been declining over time.Every school has challenges, but parents expect strong leadership, clear supervision, and real support for students. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience here, and I would strongly encourage other parents to carefully research this school before enrolling their children.

Currently I have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener.Our family has been at Rudy Elementary since January 2022. Our personal experience over the past couple of years has truly been remarkable. My child came into Rudy with an IEP and Rudy welcomed him with open arms. The teachers and I have been able to work as a team throughout his early childhood to come up with plans and solutions for a lot of his behavioral and academic concerns. I was never made to feel like I was being a burden or a bother when it came to addressing issues with my child's care and education. Even in more recent times, that have brought more adverse situations because of my child's behavior, I was consistently reassured that we are a team and I have support from within the school. I have appreciated the communication throughout the years and I would recommend Rudy to anyone, but especially anyone with a child in need of a great SPED team. The entire SPED/Psych department is great, but I need to give a specific shout out to Rudy's Special Education Generalist, Brandy Loseke. She has been a blessing to my child's life and we need more educators like her. She always makes my child feel loved and wanted. She has the, "you CAN do it," attitude that so many children benefit from being exposed to.It was a no brainer to also put my 2nd child through the preschool program here at Rudy. They are currently a kindergartener here and so far it has also been great. The Kindergarten teacher is consistently updating us parents of their classroom activities and milestones. The opportunity to be involved in the classroom is always there, even on field trips. Rudy has also presented my family a sense of community and a plethora of new friends. There are activities that the school organizes scattered throughout the year that make the year exciting for the kids and their families.
