Dakota High School

When I went there everyone was mean and the Teachers bullyed me.

The teachers at the school are experienced and amazing with the kids. It would be five stars if it were for them. They are thoughtful and child centered. However, learning curriculum and methods are outdated and the principal does not return parent emails/concerns...at all. If your lucky he will ask his secretary to do it.

The staff at Shawnee is excellent! We have had amazing teachers that care deeply about my children. My daughter receives special education services and has made progress. My only negative is that they have large class sizes.

Communication was lacking and the children did not enjoy going to school. The teachers and staff were at times very condescending to the parents and would at times interrogate the children without consent regarding issues that had already been properly addressed and were actively being cared for.I have ptsd and have been very honest and sincere. The principle herself has gone so far as to use a trigger that is very hurtful and when addressed completely dismissed and ignored me and my children. My children's teacher who was well aware even showed up at my place of work and used it then after seeing how hurtful it is used it again at the school. People have the right to be honest and the staff at this school has about three people, including the principle, that are well aware and have chosen to continue to cause severe unnecessary harm.

Awful, awful school. They do not nurture or care for your child they way you'd assume most early childhood educators do. They isolate your child if they have special needs. They will be uninvited to school functions, you will be called from work to pick your child up mid-day multiple times, and they will send your child outside so they don't have to put the effort in to accommodating or modify plans. The primary classroom has 35+ kids and staff they are not patient, loving, kind, or caring. Communication is beyond terrible.
