Devon Aire K-8 Center

My grand son is in this school, his teacher Miss Vazquez is so engaged and proactive that he said a few days ago to his little brother "Amed next year when you come to my school you will have the best teacher of this world" She makes special every day for students and parents. Thanks so much

We were hesitant at first to go public but it’s truly been the best place for our son who has very high functioning autism. He’s in an inclusive classroom and is thriving, has lots of friends, and is doing well academically. The school feels very safe, is gated and has an officer present at all times. The moment you walk in you feel a sense of peace. They have a beautiful inner courtyard and colorful murals everywhere. Their musical theatre program is top notch and they also have band. They offer after school or there are other surrounding organizations that they bus to if you prefer. We are very happy with the school, teachers and administrators. I also want to say that the student teacher ratio is excellent, there are only about 22 kids in my son’s 2nd grade class and an aid comes in for math, reading and writing. Compared to some private schools which have limited options for kids on the spectrum, you really can’t get something better than what they have at WLE. He’s supported but also pushed outside of his comfort zone and we’re thankful for it.

My son attended MCH from Jan 2020 until schools were forced to close in March 2020. While I had some issues with communication between the teachers and myself, I knew that my son was enjoying the social interactions that being in school provided.What followed after the shutdown was truly a disappointment.Remote learning for my sons class consisted of 2-3 unoriginal content videos a week and one 15 minute zoom session with his class that often seemed unplanned and frenzied.While I’m sympathetic to the radical changes teachers were forced to make, to say the process was poorly executed is an understatement.In conversations with other moms I had become well aware of how other schools were handling the situation, including tuition costs and curriculum. MCH really failed us in many ways.When my husband and I reached out to try and come to an agreement on what we could pay for the remaining months that would be reasonable for both parties we were expressing told that full payment would be expected with no exceptions.The entire situation was made worse when they began ignoring our emails, phone calls and even visits to the school.This school functions coldly and with little actual regard for the families writing the checks.
