Willow Run

We just moved into this school district, We heard lots of great things about this school before moving into this district. It was all great until our child was emotionally feeling uncomfortable, unsupported and set aside with classmates and self. This school is black and white if you’re a new student without any personal connection to teachers, parents or children. They will not hesitate to isolate your child. Our child has a great teacher, because of this we give the school three stars. He loves his teacher, we’re thankful for her. The school nurse is also great.Unless your child has friends in the school or a parent your child won’t be protected if they’re having a rough day or socially awkward. School has no compassion for child struggling with social emotional problems or self worth. Our child is academically smart, but struggling with medical and social worth. School has no compassion, unless your well known or have same kind of protection from someone you know. It’s a family school for teacher looking out for their own children. Hopefully once he’s no longer the new kid in class next year he’ll be excepted by his classmates who stick together.We’ll update you next year, 2023 / 2024

I hate to have to do this but it is time. The County provides each child with the resources they need to excel if the parents are disciplined enough to make their children do the work. My problem with MAES is that a lot of poor behavior is swept under the rug and children are being CONSTANTLY bullied by other children. My son had the worst experience in Kindergarten and it is already starting again. They know who the children are but it's a long process when it comes to having true action taken. Too many passes are given when you look a certain way. It's shameful. People always have something smart to say about inner city kids but the truth is the suburb kids are no better. They throw tantrums, strike other kids etc. and their parents are never held accountable as they should be. It's easy to say this is an awesome school but everyone has a different definition for that word. Awesome compared to what? You can tell the teachers are tired and under supported and the parents are tapped out at home because there are constant issues with bullying by these bratty children. The day we move will be the happiest day of my life. The same problem I had with a child last year (a couple months ago) another mom is having with that same child striking her child now. But again, when you look a certain way you're given pass after pass.
