Pelham Park Middle School

My son has autism and loves Pelham Ridge. He started in the inclusion program and just finished his Kindergarten year! They treated him like he was one of their own!

The teachers are great for the most part. They seem to care and do a good job teaching. The teachers are fast to reply to text messaging. I had an unfortunate incident. My family is multi-racial and a teacher told my kindergartener that white people cannot love black people. She was shattered. The administration handled it sufficiently. I do not know the details, but that teacher no longer teaches my daughter. The problem comes since then. They have started pulling all of my children out of class for one-on-one sessions and not telling me. Then they started targeting my children for punitive disciplinary action. When I asked them to provide information in aggregate so that I can make sure they are not discriminating against my family, they refused. It is my belief that the administration here punishes children based not on discipline but on the whims of the administration.

All faculty and staff love working with the students and each other. LNLC has a great working environment.
