Posted by a parent on 9/19/2024I have nothing but praise for the Sexton family! My grandson attended a magnet school for two years but didn't really flourish and open up until he started at Sexton. He has had wonderful, caring, communicative teachers that have helped him gain confidence and enjoy learning. He is now happy to go t

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son had a great experience in pre-k and kindergarten. The teachers were great with him and the students here were great too. He made lots of friends and never had trouble with bullying. However in first grade he started having trouble. He was diagnosed with ADHD (and later autism) and had severe sensory needs, and while we had discussed options with the principal and his teacher to help and I had requested an IEP meeting, we were instead asked to leave the school. He lost dozens of friends and was sent to a terrible school to be punished for having a disability. We left that school also and now Homeschool. He has all the accommodations he needs and no behavior issues at all. It's a great school for neurotypical kids, but if you have different needs, forget it.Parent Review1mo ago - Transfiguration Catholic School
