Camp Roosevelt

Dangerous situation with rear fence gate left open for an hour in morning and without any safety officer to man the area in back! We feel the school administration is great at lip service but unwilling to go the extra mile for students. Because of the bizarre and onerous racist demands of the current governor, teachers are unable to provide accurate historical information to students. Student library has been scraped of many useful books, owing to the extremist approaches and malign influence of religious zealots. Our child began to hate school after the first week, complaining that the classes were "boring". Our child was never challenged unless we parents requested additional homework, although ultimately this was provided and graded properly.

I wouldn’t recommend it. My daughter is being bullied, and unfortunately, the teachers either can’t or won’t step in to stop it.

I love this school. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. This is the second elementary schools in the county and I wouldn’t change it. They are full of awesome staff from the office to the classrooms to outside the classrooms. Thank you for all you do Shady Hill Staff

This school likes to advertise and preach they “meet the child where they are “ and that couldn’t be further from the truth. The teachers in most cases are below average and lack in communication. The entire school has communication issues starting at the front desk. The front desk lady is extremely rude , the head of the school is condescending and demeaning, the head of lower division and upper both have zero clue what is going on in the classrooms . There have been several instances where there needed to be communication with the parents and the parents were told not to communicate with each other or ask questions . In fact they will threaten you that it is against contract to talk to other parents about anything . If your child does not meet their standards as far as grades (I’m talking not failing but not As) they will find a reason to get rid of you to keep their reputation . This school costs entirely too much money to threaten parents that their child will not be allowed to return when the parent and child both work extremely hard to meet their expectations . I couldn’t be more disappointed with a school & want to save other parents from going through this . I have seen my confident girl go from happy & proud to sad and saying “I know I’m not as good of a reader as the other kids but I try really hard”. If we could remove our child from this school now we would but they threaten that we are in a contract for payments and will still be responsible for 100%. So we will continue through the year and then not return . I do not recommend this school

This place is absolutely terrible!! Send your child to a public school instead!
