Independent Baptist Academy

This school truly doesn't provide the best accomodations and support needed for children with special needs. Administration barely even knows the kids, the kids' names, or close to anything about special education. Severe staffing issues in special education due to lack of support from administration and the turnover rate is only increasing more. Funds for special education are definitely not used properly. This school needs a whole separate wing for the special education programs (Regional Autism, Regional M.O.V.E., and CRI) so the students have everything needed for their educational experience to be successful (to include a home suite to learn life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry; laundry rooms with laundry machines to wash student clothing if accidents occur; Adaptive PE room with proper equipment; aquatics pool for students to have their aquatics program; classrooms that ALL have bathrooms in them, etc.).

I love this school. I recommend this school to everyone.

It was terrible they don't even care about us

I don't understand how such arrogant, rude, and overbearing people can be principals in schools where there are so many children and where they know they have to deal with many problems. My daughter is being bullied at school, and today, for the second time, there was another incident with the same girl who bullied my daughter before. I went to Tayac Elementary School... the principal practically treated me like a criminal and told me that I was endangering the children and that I couldn't be there unless I had a clean record. It makes me so angry that being Latina doesn't mean we're criminals... all the children were leaving through the hallway, and I told my daughter that we should wait for all the children to leave so we wouldn't be in the middle of them, and Principal Latonya started calling me practically a criminal, dangerous, and a threat... when at no point did I even say a bad word or raise my voice for her to insinuate such things.

Every single year or semester theres a teacher leaving or getting fired. My child has had 3 science teachers and 3 math teachers and 2 art teachers. One specific teacher just gossips the whole class and talks about other classes. If youre a good student and do something wrong youll only get a slap on the wrist even if you curse or threaten someone. So even if a kid thats considered as a good student curses at you, they will not be in trouble. Theyre have been many racial stuff said to my child and the culprit got a light punishment and still says stuff to my child. I doubt any of these students are excited to learn and most likely dread entering the school.
