Livsey Elementary School

I enrolled my kid here in 2018. Not even a month later, she came crying to me and told me she was getting bullied. The teachers and staff did not take it seriously and did not even try to help her. I took her out of that school ASAP. DONT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE IF YOU WANT A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR CHILD. She now is afraid to walk in her new school fearing that she will get bullied again with the staff not doing anything. I enrolled her in Idlewood and she has been doing better now. The teachers at this school are rude, careless, and impatient with you and your child. Meanwhile, the staff at her new school are caring and respectful. She got bullied there once but the teachers rushed to take care of it as soon as they could. They are very nice and welcome all races. Don't put your child here.

I wish I could give zero stars. My daughter was sexually assaulted by a boy here in third grade on the bus. It was reported to two principals, the bus driver and I was ensured his parents were told and they apparently were not until over six months later. The same boy showed up at my home when my child had switched to virtually only. He then assaulted my dog. He began stalking her at our home and sexually harassing her. The school refused to do anything because it was not on the bus although that is where he was coming from. I was told to call Dekalb Police who when I called, told me this was a school issue. The board of education said the school should have offered a meeting on school grounds between parents which I actually asked for four times and was told, “we don’t do that.” That was a lie. Finally after months, an assault, an assault on my pet and harassment, the principal told this boys mother…finally….but then told the mother to show up at my home to talk to me without asking my permission for that. The principal said for the mother to have her son show her where we lived and just show up since they would not allow a conversation on neutral school grounds. I was not comfortable with this, this was dangerous and told the principal so who then refused to call the woman back and tell her not to show up to my home. Of course the mother didn’t show because why would she address her son’s assaults? I gave up, I had done everything right with the chain of command but no one would help and no one cared. They put my child in class with that same boy this year. I told the teacher who is the only one who cared. She told the counselor who was not informed of how this boy escalated. She was pushed out of handling the issue by the principal last year and had no idea how bad it got. This school is dangerous, does not teach well, and supports kids who sexually assault little girls. Due to all of this, I am choosing to leave the state entirely next year.

I would not send my child here knowing what I now know about these people- especially principal Amy Heutel. Extremely negligent.

Una muy buena experiencia mi hija esta entusiasmada de asistir a esta escuela los maestros son muy amables y responsables
