Desoto Elementary School

Don’t send your babies here, worst school you could ever send them too. They bullied my kid and punched him and slapped him multiple times every day. I even let the principal know and she did nothing about it until after I had to go a second time and she moved the kid to another class. They don’t care about ur kids here.

I know this website says the grades are low, but this school is AMAZING!! They have many different opportunities for your child such as the gifted program and things such as P.E, Art, Music and even a play which is a very well constructed one. They have special nights such as stem night and even construct chorus and Orchestra performances. The teachers make you feel welcome and will help your child until they understand the subject proficiently. My child had the best experience a elementary child could have and made lots of good friends. I 100% would recommend this school and would 1000000% choose it again of I could.

I think the teacher's in this school have probably had enough with the disruptive children and sometimes take it out on the children who actually want to learn. They have no control over the kid's who's behavior are a hindrance to children who are trying to learn. Some children have to bring ear buds or headphones to class because of other students behaviors and how loud the others students are in order for them to focus on their work. Some teachers show favoritism to certain students. They dismiss when a child is actually being bullied when they tell them. I understand that you can't stop everything and it is also up to the parents as well to discipline their children about their behavior in school. Even the administrators and lunch room monitors show favoritism or treat other students differently because they know specific students and isolate or dismiss the other students who are different and who are trying to do what's right. We all may have been bullied in childhood and even in our adult lives. But, is it okay to have those same things happen to your child? Even after trying to be there for your child, giving them advice and talking to the teachers at the school and your efforts are still unheard? Why should my child be deprived of their education because teachers and other students lack discipline? Parents want to send their children to school to learn and interact with other children to grow and develop positive friendships for their self-esteem and social development. Children should not be filled with anxiety, feel unsafe, or have their concerns are not heard when they go to school. They need teachers and mentors to actually help students and parents need to step up and help the teachers with their children.

THIS SCHOOL DISCRIMINATES! DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KID FOR ANY REASON! THEY ARE SUPER UNORGANIZED, HAVE NO STRUCTURE AND BREAK THE LAW! PARENTS SIGN DOCUMENTS TO EITHER ALLOW OR NOT ALLOW THEIR KIDS TO BE POSTED ON BULLETIN BOARDS, SOCIAL MEDIA OR PUBLIC PLATFORMS. EVEN IF YOU OPT OUT THEY WILL STILL POST YOUR KIDS! WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. WHAT'S WORSE? IS THAT WHEN YOU APPROACH THE PRINCIPAL SHE WANTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. MY GOD DAUGHTER GOES TO THIS SCHOOL AND MY SISTER SIGNED DOCUMENTS TO NOT POST HER UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES. THEN THE SCHOOL NOT ONLY POSTS HER BUT POSTS HER UNDER AN AUTISM AD !!!!!!!! THE PICTURE OF MY GOD DAUGHTER WAS NEVER AUTHORIZED TO BE POSTED. WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN WORSE IS THAT THE PARENT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS. ANOTHER STUDENT HAD TO BRING IT UP TO THE PARENT. WHEN SHE GETS TO THE SCHOOL THE PRINCIPAL WANTED TO ACT LIKE IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL AND THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER AND ALSO LAUGHED IN MY SISTERS FACE! THIS WILL NOT STAY THIS WAY. WE ARE CALLING A LAWYER THE NEWS AND WILL REPORT THIS SCHOOL UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE! THIS ISN'T THE 1ST ISSUE WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS PRINCIPAL EITHER. 1ST PROBLEM WAS WHEN MY GOD DAUGHTER GOT ON THE WRONG BUS AND IF IT WASN'T FOR ANOTHER STUDENT WHO KNEW HER AND GUIDED HER SHE WOULD'VE WENT HOME IN THE WRONG BUS... WITH ALL THE KID TRAFFICKING THAT'S GOING ON WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE ON TOP OF ALL YOUR STUDENTS ON RELEASE? THEN TO ACT LIKE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL AND LAUGH IT OFF ! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!
