My child has never had issues prior to transferring to this school. My child was on A/B honor roll before attending Tony Alamo. Sadly, my child’s grades have declined. The school has a lot of bullying issues and doesn’t have a proper way to resolve them. Their method is to give “lunch detention for a few days” including the child who gets bullied. “To be fair”. What is that teaching our children? To me that is absolutely absurd! If my child feels the need to defend themselves, why should they be punished? My child received death threats from other students and has attempted to push off other students, and yet gets punishment. My child doesn’t feel they are able to speak up, and feels discriminated. “Mommy, why am I the only one getting in trouble?”. A child should not feel this way at a place of learning and what is deemed as “safe”. I am not the only parent who feels this way as I have asked others about their impression of Tony Alamo. My child did not dislike attending school until we ended up with this one UNFORTUNATELY. I do not recommend this school AT ALL.

My son had been attending this school since pre k up until recently as he is getting booted OUT going into 3rd grade because of the program that he is needing which is an autism intermediate class that only accepts 8 students. Which is totally fine, my frustration was the fact me nor his dad was never told that this was going to be the next step he was needing to have so that we would have been prepared enough to get him into the program at the same school so he wouldn’t of been just booted out the way he was. Especially THREE days going into the next school year. No warning before hand, not told that this could happen even after we have IEP meetings SEVERAL times a year, yet this was NEVER brought up. So now not only is he getting a new teacher, new classroom, new kids, & now a WHOLE NEW SCHOOL that him nor me and his dad know anything about. Parents who have kids that have autism will understand my frustrations on this & even trying to fight for him & contact the ccsd case managements, talking to 3 different “head employees” still was taken very carelessly & just told he could be put on a “wait list” which means if something came up as far as a kid not showing up moves. By that time he will be settled into this new school, so why in the world would I want to switch him AGAIN. Over all, Nevada definitely needs to get better with their school system & I now see why we’re one of the worst in the u.s. Frias Elementary is definitely part of that for this situation & I am so upset as well as nervous for my child.

I loved it there; they helped me with so much. I had to move when I was in the middle of 4th grade, then I went to Cartwright. Hello, my name is Susie Fields

THEY SENT ME TO A MENTAL INSTITUTION FOR BEING SLIGHTLY SAD ABOUT BEING BULLIED, THEY WITHHELD DOCUMENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS WHEN I TRANSFERRED, THEY LET ME ACT UP IN CLASS CONSTANTLY, AND PUT ME IN SPECIAL ED BC I WAS BEHIND BECAUSE THEY NEVER BOTHERED TRYING. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE IF YOU LOVE THEM.

The teachers isn’t so great & they don’t communicate when stuff happens to you’re child .
