Ina A.Colen Academy

After multiple ongoing issues with Saddlewood, I have completely lost confidence in the school’s leadership, communication, and management. A recent dismissal incident was handled in an unsafe and unprofessional manner, with staff yelling at parents while students and families were still moving around vehicles. Instead of prioritizing safety and de-escalating the situation, the environment became chaotic and stressful, ultimately leading to my daughter being suspended.I do not agree with the school’s decision and believe the situation was unfairly handled without proper accountability from staff involved. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident. Since enrolling my daughter, we have experienced repeated problems with communication, transportation, after-school programs, academic credit concerns, and lack of follow-up from administration.As hardworking parents trying to provide for our family, we expected understanding, support, and professionalism from the school system. Instead, we have often felt dismissed, unheard, and pressured to withdraw our daughter rather than being offered real solutions. At this point, I cannot recommend this school to other families. The lack of organization, accountability, compassion, and effective leadership has created unnecessary stress for both parents and students.

I’d like to give a review on Trey-Vaughn Reid in Group 4.I cannot recommend this school highly enough; the teachers are amazing, they go above and beyond, and Trey-Vaughn always is happy to go to school every day. It is like a little community; the staff know all the children, whether they have taught them or not, which helps to create a great learning environment.Fantastic school with outstanding teaching! A genuinely nurturing and fun learning environment. The teachers truly care about the children's well-being, safety, progress and truly extend the children’s learning and development. Which is very vital. His teachers ensure he’s reaching all goals in all areas! The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated, providing tailored help that has helped Trey-Vaughn build confidence and thrive. He absolutely loves going to school to learn.
