Richards Middle School

Sad to say, this school does not properly address bullying, we have spoken multiple times to the principle and office staff to address bullying, the same children continue to bully my family member day after day.

My experience here was horrible. I informed Melissa the director that my sons were autistic and being scheduled to be evaluated and diagnosed. She told her grandmother that they were not autistic. It was bad parenting. My son is a level three autistic. He is officially diagnosed so beware people with special needs. This woman has no heart and clearly no insight in what special needs looks like. She was extremely rude to me. She was rude to anyone who picked my children up. She acted like we were bothersome just for being there. I was uncomfortable every single time. I picked my children up because she just thought they were misbehaving. My children are autistic both of them level one and level three and it’s a shame that someone in this field could not recognize it and it’s also scary

My daughter teacher isn’t doing her job. I’m teaching her more at home than she’s learning her 8 hours in this school. They give them hand sheets all day then when the test come they expect them to know what’s 8-_+2= in the second grade! This is unacceptable! We need more dedicated teachers who are passionate about kids education!

My daughter attended Wilde for 5 years and our experience was definitely a smooth ride. I do feel as though the teachers did a wonderful job trying to encourage and teach the children and I am so grateful for all their patients and efforts, as the teaching can be a difficult job at times. As far as emotional support, the experience we endured was not as I had hoped it would be. I contacted the social worker about some changes I noticed in my daughter's behavior and asked for her to have a personal conversation with my daughter to kind of get a clue as to what was going on and she failed to get back in touch with me, not a single word. That was the beginning of my daughters 5th grade year. That really upset me, thankfully I looked elsewhere for help. Safety will always be a concern for our children, I feel as if they really took that bull by the horns, it was very important to the school, and they took good precautions to ensure the children's safety. All schools put on that welcome face to ensure that the numbers are up, I do feel like they do push the inclusivity of parents being part of the children's learning, however I feel as if some homework should be given along with unfinished daily work. This school really pushes the reading deal, which is awesome, but as a parent I want to see that they have an understanding of what it is they are being taught. Overall, I am glad our experience was smooth.
