Bloomington Graduation School

Horrible School with special needs students and relentless bullying that never gets addressed. The teachers YELL at the students when they loose their patience. They have no tolerance at all for kids with ADHD or Autism. They physically transport them to a room where they just ignore them and let them scream their head off or put them in holds (parents would get DCS called on them for if we did). They constently called me to come pick my son up because in their own words "we cant handle him" if I couldn't leave work or or school to do it they would threaten to call DCS on me for negligence. Constenly bribing him with candy and treats after I told them sugar makes him act out alot then questioning my parenting when hes acting out. Calling me to ask if he has takin his medication that day due to him being hyper. They expected his medication to turn him into a zombie robot. They told me if he wasn't on medication he would not be allowed at the school anymore. His medication caused him to not want to eat, it caused even worse anger issues and all kinds of problems with him, yet I was forced to give it to him for him to go to school!! Suspending a kindergartener due to eloping 12 times in ONE YEAR!!! In his IEP meetings I felt un heard. They would tell me what my child needs and not even take into consideration what I think is best for him. Completely shut me down on ideas. But they are the ones who can't ever handle him? My other son was relentlessly bullied for one reason or another. He was assaulted by an older kid on the bus and there was nothing done about it. They LOST both of my kids at one point and ended up sending one of them home on the bus when I told them I was picking him up that day. Teachers do not communicate with the parents at all and alot gets swept under the rug. My youngest son would come home with bruises and marks and I would have to hear from him that another student physicaly assulted him but never heard one word from a teacher about it. I had to go to the teacher myself!!! I ended up taking my kids oldest out after 2 years of this school and my youngest barley lasted 1 year. Last but NOT LEAST If your from a low income family they treat you like dirt and they dont care about your kids. Both of my kids grades and behavior have 100% improved so much after I took them out of this awful school!

Avoid this school if possible. I’ve had one struggling learner and one non-struggling learner attend this school. Both had terrible experiences. My daughter with an IEP was not provided services and I was lied to about it. She received zero support from her teachers after several attempts on my side to beg for help. Multiple principal and assistant principals also refused to ensure she learned. My other daughter disliked summit because there are multiple fights a day and it was chaotic. She was humiliated a few times by teachers. The culture is just toxic and low income students are blamed instead of adults taking responsibility.

Bullying and nothing is done about it. So hurtful and traumatizing that the child has been very badly affected by it. Favorite tism parents involved in the school board or in the school.There are children get the award , sometimes over someone that maybe had more talent or had worked harder. The art teacher didn't have cheers for the students and never returned any of the artwork , except maybe one or two pieces at the end of the year. She would yell at the kids in randomly.Give them a bad grade for the day when they didn't even know what the reason was. She had no communication with the parents. I don't believe she has even gone to calls or gotten a college degree.She's just at high school , went to teaching their possibly. The principal taught the kids from 11 years old and up at the beginning of a school year, telling them about p*** sites and things that they shouldn't go to online giving them actual websites. Children that knew nothing about it.Of course , would then go look these things up and be exposed to things they never were to have even known existed. And a lot of the kids didn't even know what in the world he was talking about , they were so young. Parents were not informed of him having this talk with the students.It was totally inappropriate and it was reported outside the school.Coaches , that would let the other team members exclude someone and not allow them to play in practice or in the game , just totally ignore them.
