Carroll Square

This is a school where the connected members of PTA not administration runs the show. Certain families are who get to participate in things and have first notice of events like the famous play and trunk or trick night. The guidance department causes more problems than it solves. They care more about statistics and keeping the number of IEPs and 504s low than helping children. They know how to play a numbers game.

We have had three kids go through EES. The staff is great and the Special Ed team is phenomenal.

I dropped off my daughter’s medicine at the office and they refused to give it to her. When I came up to the school to talk to the principal about it he had a police officer waiting in the office. The principal just started at me and told me he did not care. Those were the only words that came out of his mouth. He just stared at me until I left . I don’t know how he is the principal, he could care less about the children.

Even with evaluations and doctor recommendations that our child receive and IEP, we had to fight tooth and nail with the current administration to obtain an IEP. Additionally, the school will not enhance her IEP goals to address the full range of her needs. The school refuses to address academic issues of our child by blaming everything on attention, even with reports and IEP recommendations from doctors. The school does a terrible job fostering community and parent engagement and the PTA is overly concerned with fundraising that is out of touch with teacher and school needs.
