Phillips Ranch

I have been very happy with the teachers. My daughter has been here Several years and her reading is better. I am considering moving because of the poor leadership in the office. The principal is hard to talk to and kids don't feel like she cares. I worry because if she has a problem I don't feel it's safe. I know a few families have moved away because of Mrs Badillo.

During the time my daughter was attending the school she faced an excess amount of bullying and the staff and teachers didn’t discipline the students for their bad behavior. One incident at the school included my daughter being punched in the face by another classmate, the student was not sent home, my daughter was not taken to the nurse’s office, they didn’t call me to tell me about the incident, and sent my daughter to class with her bruised eye. The worst part is the school had said my daughter had started the fight and was very aggressive to the other student. However an aid watching this occur saw this and wrote it in her notes of what actually happened. My daughter has autism and the school wasn’t welcoming at all to her. She struggled with her academics which lead to other students making fun of her for being “dumb” including the other teachers. Her teachers would let students insult her and whenever my daughter would get frustrated about the comments and try speaking up or lashing out at the student, the teachers would call home and accuse her of being violent even though the teachers would let the problem be created. I contacted the teachers to find out the issue going on and while doing so she texted me harmful words and messages and I always took screenshots of them since she would delete them after sending them to me. Other Staff was also incredibly rude towards me and my daughter including the principal who was incredibly rude in our meetings. Because of these incidents I had to switch schools so she can be in a better and healthier environment and ever since the change she has been getting up top of her class and is soaring in her academics. Overall, this school does not support children with disabilities and having a healthy environment.

Love the school and the location. The school is surrounded by greenery and a higher altitude which makes the location very unique. The principal is great and family events always well attended.
