Millennia Elementary School

Pésima escuela desde que llegas la secretaria más mayor de edad te da un trato mediocre muy falta de respeto y la directora ni se diga poco professional.

Sadler Elementary is the BE-E-E-EST! go mustangs!

Palmetto pushes for students to perform to their academic best. I like the before and after school clubs for my children. Palmetto is filled with great teachers.

This school has serious problems with respect, professionalism, and abuse of authority. The library staff, especially some of the women who work there, are consistently rude, dismissive, and unhelpful. Instead of doing their job and supporting students, they treat us as if we are bothering them. Simple questions are met with irritation, bad attitudes, and disrespect.One staff member in particular abuses the small amount of power she has. She stopped me when I was simply picking up my backpack, as if I were about to commit a crime. She canceled my exam twice, not because I was using my phone, but because I had headphones in my pocket that I was not even using. My phone was inside my backpack. She waited for me outside the girls’ restroom, searched my belongings, and publicly accused me, humiliating me in front of others.Students are constantly treated with suspicion instead of respect. The environment feels hostile and stressful, not supportive. Because of this lack of control, respect, and professionalism, at least one teacher has already resigned, and I doubt he will be the last.This school urgently needs accountability and change.

My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour. As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter.Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and “extra time,” which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could “bring our own interpreter,” which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards.We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate.I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.
