Freetown Elementary School

I am a past student (2015-2020) and this school was amazing! When I went the teachers and staff were amazing! We only ever had few problems and they were always so kind about my medical issues. Everyone was accepting, never had any problems other than the pettiness of elementry schoolers! There's none of the same teachers now that I had back then sadly but every teacher was kind and accepting.

My son attended Marley Elementary and had wonderful teachers from kindergarten through second grade. After being redistricted to a different school, he truly missed Marley and the positive experience he had there.

Pasadena is a good school with an Autism Program that is severly lacking. My son is autistic and attended Pasadena from Kindergarten through 5th grade. I do not think Pasadena is equipped to handle the needs of their students with disabilities. The entire time my son was enrolled I constantly received contradicting information from the staff at the school. I received constant calls to advise the my son was hit by other students. Twice he was able to elope from the school. There was also an incident where my son was abused by a teacher aide and that aide was fired due to the incident. My son is now moving on to Middle School and I am battling the county where his next placement will be. I was given incorrect information regarding his placement earlier in year and not advised of the chances til mere weeks before school ended. I think Pasadena is a good place for typical children but if your child has special needs I cannot recommend Pasadena based on the difficulties we faced.

My kids loved this school. The pre-k program is amazing and the community schools programs for younger children were such a nice touch. The teachers are very kind and personable. If ever we had an issue the administration handled it swiftly and kept me in the loop. My family was very sad to leave, and cherished our moments at Southgate.
