Ivy Hill

This school has had a good reputation but our experience has not lived up to that ideal. The school struggles with discipline which is affecting learning opportunities for all the students. Recent events at the school have brought to light that the school has not put in place effective procedures for handling student behavioral issues.

The school tends to not support children with ADHD. The teachers and staff will report behavior but I was told flat out that the school lacks staff and funding to address and ADP. The school relies heavily on standardized teaching meaning everyone starts at a base level and the build is slow. This I believe can be boring to my child and has lead to lack of engagement. Still participating at bare minimum and not progressing forward. When requesting a follow up on behavior from the school, it is purely on the parent to follow up. The PTA is great and often supplements resources that the school isn't providing. Communications happens with the parents separately and it appears mutually shared experience. It appears to be better options nearby.
