Pineloch Elementary School

Staffing specialist provided false information, teacher threatened to sent child to nurses office for taking to long in bathroom then claimed child unable to use bathroom or clean himself when he started to rush to avoid her punishment. Staff seemed to be bias and over the course of the year my kindergartener went from loving school to begging not to go, multiple requests to change teachers were not granted, staff said child was happy and needed no special services, determined no learning disabilities and needed no child find evaluations in same conversations saying how kindergartener refused to do any work and was unable to respond on topic in class. At school he regularly help ears and complained about noise, crying and having math test scores decline 10% from 1st to 2nd testing of kindergarten. He did have ADHD but staff without eval determined he had no learning disability. Bullying was constant concern too that went unaddressed cuz per staff kids hear that term so just claim it falsely.

The office never answers the phone or calls you back after leaving messages. No one is prepared when you ask them to do something. The only thing they can tell you is they’re on vacation. And they don’t have no one doing the job when they are out. The principal don’t do anything. They lost my kid and didn’t know where he was. Would not even pay for my child to continue to go to this school here.

I thought this school was for children with disabilities, but now I can see a diversity of children. I personally feel my child is falling behind, since the communication between parent and teacher is only by notes unless you due a virtual meeting. Also curriculum is fast and is hard for the students to keep up. Is not normal that at least half the students are failing is either the curriculum or the way the teachers teach. The teachers are always yelling at the students if they are all deaf or hard of hearing. They grab them by the arms or hand towards the car at dismissal in a rude manner.

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.

Very unprofessional and untrustworthy ! Releases students to people not on the list and then threatens to arrest the actual guardian upon arriving to the school.. hope you guys are satisfied because you are now one of the reasons a little girl is gone

A bad school like I heard a whole teacher yell at my kid. They even recorded my poor child. They cursed at a fifth grader
