Hans Christian Andersen Elementary School

Our son was doing well before we moved and started coming to this school. The teachers do not respond to us. They changed and drastically reduced our sons IEP times preaching more time in gen ed will do him good at this point and he is now failing and we have been trying to have an in person IEP meeting but keep getting told it isn't necessary and to just tell the ESE teacher our concerns and she will relay them to the team we never hear back from. Another child told our son he was going to slit his throat and we had several more incidents with the same student. When we went to the school to have our son file a report for bullying the school gave us a hope scholarship right off the bat like that would fix the problem. Then when our son filled out the paperwork it never went anywhere they talked to the student and that was it. No formal investigation took place like it was supposed to because we filled the paperwork stating it was happening and we were filing a formal complaint with the school. We were never sent a letter by mail notifying us of an investigation so it was just a talking to. Our son is still to this day having issues with getting picked on.

Engaged teachers and wonderful community. I don’t understand the low scores. My daughter attended kindergarten thru 6 and every teacher was great, some even amazing!

I liked that the same great teachers my son had were still there teaching when my daughter attended. My children are seven years apart, I had one graduating 6th and then one starting kindergarten. My daughter did so well that she got into Westshore jr/sr high. She is taking high school classes in middle school and doing well thanks to the foundations she learned at Andersen elementary school.

My children have attended this school for 3 years and it’s been a positive experience.

We have been treated terribly by the administration for standing up to discriminations of our child with disabilities.
