St Frances of Rome

Every teacher I have come in contact with at WP has made me feel that they care for the children. However, when I come in contact with the assistant principal or people in the office, they assume you’re uneducated and aren’t willing to do what is necessary for your children. When my daughter was in 1st grade, the teacher decided not to return to the class and was gone for the rest of the year. Leaving the class with sub’s for the entire year. I along with other parents volunteered to help in the class and were told we had to leave, even though it was obvious the sub’s needed assistance. If I had known how easy it was to home school my child I would have pulled her out so fast, their heads would spin.

Three of my children attended this school & it was terrible. I pulled them all out. There was a situation with all three of my students. The kindergarten teacher is terrible. She sits on her phone all day & will leave the kids in the class by their self. Kids that young are racist which is sad. My youngest was 4 when attending and she had a situation with another student touching her inappropriately and instead of listening to my daughter they said it was a mistake. My son was bullied and they basically did nothing but once he responded to the bully he was looked at as if he was doing the bullying.

I have to think sometimes about my kids transitioning out of Prairie Oak as they get older and part of me wishes they didn’t have to. From the administration higher up to the social workers to the teachers to parent-support, I could not have for better. The social-emotional teaching is just beautiful. Prairie Oak has teachers my kids will never forget. I won’t either. I wish it was a middle school too, I really do! Mrs. Abrantes and Mrs. Vicars go above and beyond for the instruction, safety and well-being of the kids. I wish we could just manufacture more of these women so everyone could know how amazing they are.

This school does not care about the students and staff only the scores even if students are coming from a broken background or having difficulty they do not care. The students can barely read and they give curriculum that the students cant follow.
