St. Andrew School

My son has been here since 2023. He is in an ESE classroom; the teacher and paraprofessionals are just wonderful. He has come so far since coming to this school.

The school handled my child’s health concern very poorly. An office assistant posing as a nurse minimized her symptoms, communication was confusing, and pickup procedures were disorganized and dismissive. When I raised the issue with the principal, she was defensive and showed no empathy. This experience left me questioning both the school’s professionalism and concern for student safety.

I loved this school. I grew up in it. Faculty and life long friends. I was saved at camp back in 1991.

Think again if your child has special needs. The teachers are great that we encountered. The administration, not so much. They need to pull it together. My son has ADHD and high functioning Autism. In March 2023 his RBT came to the classroom to help, but in Dec. 2023 the day before Christmas break they told us he can no longer have this assistance and they are unable to accommodate. That he needs an aide and they don't want to do this. Its "against school policy" which it says no where in their handbook. They knew in Oct. he was struggling and needed help, but waited til BREAK to say something. We could have taken measures prior to this, like medication for my son to see if he could focus better. We instead did find a much better alternarive and withdrew him. I don't wish bad toward the school, just for them to do better so this does not happen to another child.
