Liberty Pines Academy

This school is exhausting. While there are a few truly incredible teachers, they are consistently overshadowed by others who simply do not belong in elementary education. Candamio (K), Furlow (1), and Nicks (3) were especially disappointing. These teachers don’t just struggle—they break students down at their core.Nicks teaches a gifted class, yet somehow manages to take a group of high-achieving students and make them miserable and resent school altogether.I stayed in the DCE system far longer than I should have, and I’m relieved to finally be done. Endless emails, constant parent battles, and a staff culture that seems to care about nothing beyond test scores. Education should be about children—not just numbers.

Its really heart breaking that as a parent my concerns abt my child's learning was brushed off as if it wasnt an issue. The excuse that the student is able to retake a test to get a better grade is not appropriate if the student isnt understanding the basics. At one point my child was talking to a school appointed therapist, went no where at least one session had another student .. this is something I would assume would be private.
