Laureate Park Elementary

Warning to parents of children with special needs and behavioral challenges: Avoid this school. The administration and staff appear unequipped to handle, or even properly direct, students with IEP requirements; their lack of experience is staggering.Our IEP meetings were brutal—instead of offering support or solutions, they focused on criticizing my child and repeating known struggles, without offering concrete strategies for help. Furthermore, misinformation was provided regarding placement options, falsely claiming the only other options were alternative schools for extreme behavior.It was necessary to involve the School Board just to secure a transfer to a facility with actual ESE classes, which this school lacked this year. The school's lack of empathy and competence is shameful. While they did not provide helpful support for my child, this experience did make me a stronger advocate who refuses to back down.

Great school and amazing teachers, we are very happy with school and community.

My experience at Tohopekaliga High School was extremely disappointing. The school often felt disorganized, with poor communication and little consistency when it came to addressing student concerns. Many classes were unengaging, and it didn’t seem like there was much effort to create a supportive or motivating learning environment. It was frustrating feeling overlooked rather than helped, and overall the atmosphere made it hard to stay encouraged about school. I expected far better from a place that’s supposed to support students’ growth and success. It caused me emotional distress and anxiety.

Great experiences my child loves it, he started kindergarten looking for a great year ahead, also the community and teachers are excellent!
