B. W. Tinker School

I graduated from here in 2018. From my memory, the teachers and administrative staff had absolutely zero idea how to handle neurodiverse students. That is a problem seeing as I am autistic. I honestly believe their only disability training was watching Rain Man. The principal seemed to have genuine personal issues with me and other 10 year olds. I would hope they’d have improved since. 2018, but with the general problems I listed, I doubt it.

My experience at this school has been amazing. Everyone is so helpful, the teachers really care about their students and everyone tends to come together when we need too. It’s awesome. I don’t ever want to leave this school.

The school secretary is very rude, has a bad attitude, and definitely needs to work on her people skills. Very bad communication from this school. The staff are protected by the union and seem to be in a race with each other, in who can do the least amount of work. This school seems to think that is ok for a 4 year old kindergarten to walk to and from school. Not only do they think that is ok, they wait until the school day is over to notify you about this. It's very funny because we were sent the bus schedule. We knew where and when the bus was coming. There were other kids who live the same distance from the school, who attend the same school, they can take the bus, but my son cannot. Very very unprofessional and completely unacceptable.

I absolutely love this school. You get a warm welcome from the Principal every morning. You may or may not get it from the school crossing guard depending on her mood. My child has been a student for the last two years and she is thriving. The principal takes care of any issues you or your child may have right then and there. The school has an open door policy you are welcome to come help out as long as you are trained. The lunch is so yummy. Your child will get so much at OLMC. This is a great investment into your children's future. Also, this is a no nonsense school. If a student is constantly disruptive to the classroom they will not be allowed to continue their education at OLMC. Which for me is important, we experienced this issue in the public school. All of my children will attend OLMC in the future.

Sending my son to school here with the biggest mistake of his life I’ve ever made letting him stay. Here was the second biggest mistake I ever made. We will be leaving after this year and I pray he’s not too far behind from his experiences here. This is supposed to be a hands-on magnet school. The only hands-on they have is on their laptop all day every day.

These "educators" aren't doing much educating here! My kids are literally learning backwards and barely nothing besides what I teach them this is very frustrating I transferred them.
