Twin Oaks Elementary School

They have targeted my child as a problem child when she’s brand new to the school and is being bullied. She sticks up for herself and others and is still singled out. She’s was in 2nd grade and finished her last 3 months there and was crying before school everyday. Her teacher was rude to her and does not handle problems well. One of the faculty members hit my vehicle multiple times because my daughter was wearing shorts a smidge too short for dress down day, i simple phone call to get new clothes would have sufficed.

If you're child has a disability that has not been diagnosed yet, I recommend not sending them here. We were told the school would work with us while we were waiting for a diagnosis, but this is not true. He's 5 and got suspended after attending for less than a month. They just look at him as any other "troublemaker" instead of viewing it as something he can't control. When asking about these things, the principal wanted to talk about numbers and statistics rather than what we can do to help the individual child. She said until he has a diagnosis there's nothing they will do, even though we were told different in the beginning. Considering they are a failing school, it seems that bringing up statistics is a moot point, especially when we're calling trying to discuss the issues with our child.

Horrible. If you have a child with accommodations or an IEP don't allow your child to attend this school. They could care less. Also, if your child is in need of an IEP, you do not want them to start it, they will stack it with information that's false and embellished so that the teachers will have a reason to not teach your child and just throw them in special education. There is no such thing as inclusion. They will lie. The administration offers no resources for teachers, because of the lack of knowledge themselves. I hated every day my child attended. Worse decision I could have ever made for my child. Had I not been an active mom that's involved and vocal they would have done the bare minimum for my child and not cared the least. One of the worse schools I have ever seen those cares only about making a day easy for one brand of students. Had an outside source not stepped in I would have sued this school, and I had all the documentation to do so.

This is a wonderful inclusive and diverse school. We have loved our time at STM.
