This is my experience. My daughter (had a different principal than Rasmussen) had an okay experience. Nothing special but did great. Next my son who went here for 2nd through 3rd. It was not the best. He has ADHD and anxiety. His 2nd grade teacher amazing! He’s 3rd grade terrible. It was a male teacher with his masters… yet couldn’t really find a way to connect with my son. Which is fine, we as humans don’t always connect. But looking back as my son is finishing 4th grade at a charter school now, it’s night and day different! He’s excelling, making friends and actually feels included. Finally my youngest son who attended kindergarten at kanesville. He is black and we adopted him at age 3. We learned QUICKLY this school is so uncomfortable and not for people of color. His teacher was great for typical education. Administration is crap. Rasmussen doesn’t care or will listen to others perspectives. We were SO uncomfortable with a Thanksgiving program they did. Songs about guns, Indians, pilgrims, etc. There are plenty of cute age appropriate songs about turkeys and things. We brought this up to the principal and it was like talking to a brick wall. You could tell he didn’t care and my husband and I felt hopeless after our meeting. We reached out to other black adoptees and families, 90% agreed it was wrong and would be upset too. We luckily got them into a charter and let me tell you how my two children have THRIVED this year! We feel heard, my children feel happy and involved and are excelling!
