Henry Elementary School

Hello, my child went to this school and she was bullied so bad it really affected her mental health, and when she told proper older adult figures nothing was done. The education is awful, the staff are rude and that school is a nightmare.

Moving my child from Carver Elementary to Penrose was the best decision I have ever made, 3rd grade teacher Mr. Mann helped inspire my social awkward child to blossom. He was so amazing in communicating with me weekly on her strength and weakness. He is always responding to me in a timely manner. I honestly can write so much more about Mr. Mann. Teacher of the year is an understatement He should be teacher of the decade.

My child was almost choked out by another student today. I didn't find this out till the drive home. This isn't the first time this school has failed to protect the students. But it is the last time with my child. They need to fire the whole staff and start from scratch.

Communication is poor. When one speaks to teachers almost every day, one expects to know what is going on in school. My sped kid was bullied by other children; staff is physical with children -not going into detail, as I want my review to remain. Negligence plays a part in the bullying environment, all instances of student bullying are not known by staff; no attention is paid to kids when on the playground. The staff reacts physically to scared, sped students trying to flee v calling parents, my child experiences this and I saw it happen to others. I came here from a news story of parents suing a school for what my child went through, over and over, before I became aware. SPED children are treated as a nuisance and they're not assisted as needed to learn -anything. I truly believe this school and staff are unconcerned with their students' success, and negligent in every role related to caring for the education and safety of children. It is now a couple of years out and we are still working through the fallout of my child's experience at McAuliffe.
