Bates Elementary School

Do not take your child here if they have special needs.

Learning: 1 star because these kids are not excited to go to schoolTeaching: 1 star because the teachers are not engaging and do not care about your child or their individual needs Social-emotional support: 1 star because my child is told they are a liar when trying to tell their side of the story Special education: 3 stars because they offer classes for different learning disabilities. Safety: 1 star because the paras are not active in paying attention to what’s going on during recess and children often get bullied Family Engagement: 1 star because parents are not allowed to come visit the school without an event or need of volunteer. It is very closed off to parents. No accountability held to staff.

All of my children since my 44 year daughter was in kindergarten have gone to gudith. I have met alot of fabulous teachers there over the years. Now my grandchildren go there and my grandson is in kindergarten. His teacher is the most horrible teacher gudith has ever had. She is discriminating against my grandson who has feeding issues. She is making a mockery of him on social media and from the comments that others are making there about how wonderful she is gives me the notion she is talking about the subject to others when on this should be a private matter. Very unprofessional and I don't see how she can be allowed to continue to teach. Gudith has so gone down hill. So sad.
