Dekalb Alternative School

my son is autistic & he’s 5 non verbal ,(2nd week of school ).. ms richerson the administrator told me I couldn’t walk him to class , which is okay, so I asked if anyone could assist him because he will wonder and get lost maybe even get into things …. Honestly I don’t think she really understands autism because she reply’s he can do it .and goes on to say just because he has a iep doesn’t mean he can’t .. it’s no safety in the school … he even stood there lost playing with his fingers OMG ….. I withdrew him immediately … that’s insane

This school has some great techers including Mr. Boston, who leads the STEM programs. The school does career days for the students.

I was here for a couple of years and to call the experience horrible is an understatement. Teachers talk to each other more than to the students, the staff are not energetic at all, and reluctantly do their job. You have been warned, do not send your child here.

My experience at this school was amazing even if the Social-emotional support is not that good for example when I was in the 4th grade here their was this girl who used to keep on bullying and I was to scared to tell and my friends told for me and they kinda dealed with it but she kept on bullying me for years, but overall I would give this school a 4.9.

Elementary should be the easiest school time in a child's educational life. Not so much at this school. To be clear this school feels more like a prison.

I really don’t like their service! Because I send my 3 year old son this daycare ; with in 3 weeks he failed down twice and scratched his face and chest! They said we will potty train but they didn’t do! Ever day when he come back home his diaper! Even I send launch and milk but they didn’t give him even they didn’t touching it! They focus only business!
