Beeman Park Preparatory School

Every time a student had an issue and the principal was made aware she would just say to the student you are ok. Send them vack to class. Very negative environment. Front clerk was rude and wouldnt be bothered to answer any questions.

I had a very unpleasant experience today while picking up my granddaughter. As someone was leaving, I stood by the door waiting — I didn’t try to push my way in or anything. I was simply waiting politely to see if I could enter.Then a staff member suddenly spoke to me in a rude tone, saying I had to “wait for the buzz,” and even tried to close the door. I understand there are safety rules, but there was no reason to speak to me that way. I was just standing there, not doing anything wrong.I hope the staff can treat parents and grandparents with more kindness and respect in the future.

We had our children at Alpha Christian Academy for two and a half years. Great teachers when our kids were in Pre-K and Kindergarten. However, that changed in August 2014. Parents were not notified when teachers were let go, nor when the administration changed. We didn't find out until the "Meet the teacher", a week before school started, when we were told that the 1st grade teacher was hired a week before hand. One of the Kindergarten teachers was hired a week ahead of time, and another 2 hours before the Meet the Teacher. It was insane. We instantly had reservations due to that knowledge, along with the Kindergarten classes being over-enrolled against the school policy. We, along with other parents, set up meetings with the new school director, Susie Book. Her first response to us was that if you didn't like the changes, you could go somewhere else. She kept laying blame on the previous administration, but could offer no real solutions. It got so bad that a church elder was called due to it.Susie Book's answer to everything was to blame the previous administration first and then tell us to go somewhere else if we didn't like it second. Because we found out so late, we were unable to secure spots at any other school because they too had waiting lists of people. We were forced to stay at Alpha, a place that we had loved the previous two years.Our kindergartners went through 3 teacher changes in less than 2 months and our first grader went through 2 teacher changes. We discovered that the kids weren't being taught the curriculum in Kindergarten. It felt like we had a meeting each week at the school.We even found out that it took 88 kids to break even for school finances. They were under-enrolled at that time, and by the time we left, the school's enrollment was down to around 60 kids. We were truly worried that the school would close before we made it to Christmas.We had recommended this school at the end of the 2013-2014 school year. Now, we can say nothing but negative things. I would not enroll any children at this school, or a school where Susie Book is in any administrative capacity.

Hello .my name is Abdurahmon from Dubai.I have 4 kids , 4,8,15,16 years old .Please tell me about your school. Thank you and have good day.

I had no where else to go, until I found this school. My children have severe behaviors, and no one including public school was willing to work with them. Mr & Mrs Friedman are available always and try to come up with a solution. The teachers are caring and are always available to discuss any concern about your child.

Do NOT send your children to this school. Lake Highland caused my child to fall into a deep depression. Administrators are discriminatory and idiotic. This school hates all forms of fun and happiness. PLEASE, I repeat PLEASE stay away from this school at all costs.

the school is good but pretty bad
