Mulvane High School

My son is on his fourth year, with every year being amazing. His teachers have been outstanding in recognizing his strengths and really capitalizing on them. Teachers have open communication so we know what to work on at home. His specials teachers are outstanding and he always is looking forward to them.

Swaney is a great school!! It still has a little of that "Old Derby" feel, the way things used to be, in all the good ways! I went to Swaney in the 70s and a lot of its small-town charm remains. They still tape the class rosters and "who got which teacher" on the glass a few days before school . I remember going up there and reading the results by our car's headlights. On "Meet the Teacher" night, the principal greeted all of us warmly as we entered the building. This Saturday, there is a "Rock the Block" party just as a back to school event! There will be bounce houses, a DJ, games, food trucks, and a special Glow in Dark event in the gym!! Teachers, parents, and students are down-to-earth, and just look at those test scores! I am so happy my kids go here!

A child affected by ADHD or alone or with co-occurring conditions (learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum) is more likely to be suspended from this school than a child without those conditions. Sending one of kids home is only reliving the teacher and not focusing on him. Students sent home is allowing him to think he can leave whenever things get rough for him and not learning moment for him. Sending him home is not helping. A teacher keeps taking away a his recess as punishment OFTEN. First, kids with ADHD are the kids who need recess the most. Second, taking recess away as punishment is not effective. Taking away a child’s recess as punishment is detrimental to students. Play and recess have value. No, I wouldn't recommend this school.
