Bozeman Online Charter School

During our Kindergarten year, the time at this school was great. The teachers were very good and we had no issues. However, in 1st grade my child was diagnosed on the spectrum and needed a 504/IEP to help her through the next coming years at this school. The teacher was awful, giving no support and trying to blame myself as a single parent for my child’s learning difficulties. The special education teacher at the time was extremely belittling and the Principal offered no assistance during the meeting. It was only after I found a Special Needs Advocate and brought these wonderful ladies to the next meeting that the school immediately 180 on their attitude towards myself and my child and offered aide. Yet with the following weeks of disdain towards myself and my kids, I soon withdrew her from the school and moved to a more healthy district where she could get the help she needed without biases.

We have had a phenomenal experience at this school. Wonderful sense of community. The teachers are absolutely top notch. I continue to be impressed with the teachers and staff year after year. Good communication with families. Enrichment opportunities and art program have been an incredible bonus. Can’t say enough good things.

I wish every kid in the neighborhood could feel like they belong in this school

Teachers and children and parents witnessed my child getting abused on school grounds by their parent. I was never called. No police were ever called. The principal knew of abuse and withheld counseling from my son. She refused to allow my son to have any additional educational help. Teachers allowed my child to be bullied. They punished my child for reporting and asking for help. Stay far away from this school.
