Robert Frost Elementary School

Im a student at this school and overall everyone is chill especially my bus driver ms/mrs.milli she is SO CHILL to the point you don't even know she's mad.So in my opinion this school deserves a 8/10 instead of 5/10

I spent a long time looking for a school with special education classes to support my child. At first, it seemed that the school was willing to help. However, when behavioral difficulties with the staff (adults) arose, instead of adjusting the IEP plan and analyzing what works and what doesn’t, I received a call stating that the administration had met and decided: my child does not belong in their school, and they would consider alternative placement.Some staff members in the administration behaved rudely and unprofessionally. At one point, they even refused to provide the name of my child’s aide, who was involved in the suspensions. When I tried to understand what the problem was and why these things were happening, I was denied information, being told they first needed to consult the aide’s lawyer. It felt as if I had come to their home to check on them, rather than being a parent with the right to know who and how is working with my child.The administration pressures parents, trying to secure an advantageous position for themselves instead of collaborating with parents to find a solution. Parents are often persuaded that their child is exactly as described in the reports, but in reality, I saw that my child is very different. This helped me draw my own conclusion.Special education exists only on paper. In practice, there is no support. When parents request documents or reports, nothing is provided because there is nothing to show — no real evidence of support, only words.If you contact the district, as I did, the administration may become angry and punish your child. In my case, this resulted in two weeks of daily suspension from school and special education classes, placing my child in a separate room without access to learning, and forbidding participation in class trips or activities.The purpose of the special education classes is unclear: over an entire semester, my child learned only a few new words, and that was it. Staff exaggerate information about the child to protect themselves legally, avoid providing real services, and justify transferring the child to a specialized school without valid reasons.I am not calling anyone to action and I am not evaluating the school as a whole. This is my personal experience, which relates exclusively to special education at this school. I am writing this review in the hope that it may help other parents make a more informed choice if their child truly needs support.

I was an assistant teacher at the school, I started last year in the summer and stayed for the school year as I saw a big difference from where I used to work and the Montessori school. It is a very big change, different environment and worth ethics. It is very clean and presentable. Inside the staff (employees) is very genuine and welcoming.. The teaching style was very different from what I used to teach, very independent. It was a big change for me, but I got used to it. The school is very nice but was not a fit for me due to my reasoning.

We joined the Park View family back in 2016 and haven't had any regrets. The teachers and staff have always had a way with the kids. My daughter comes home every day with a smile and wakes up each morning excited to go back. I'm impressed with how quickly she has picked up reading and math and is excited to show me her work each week. I don't have anything negative to say about the communications, as we have always been notified of any and all new developments regarding my daughter's academic and behavioral progress. The new facility is wonderful - playground, gym, large classrooms and even adorable teeny tiny commodes in the toddler room for those potty training! Additionally, I would like to highlight how well Park View has navigated through this unprecedented year with COVID-19. It has not been easy on anyone, but specifically the kids as many community activities came to a halt. However, with the constant updates and communications from Park View and how they handled their selves, we felt fortunate to have them as our day care provider.
