Someone in my son class had touched him inappropriately in that didn’t even do nothin about it F***kin weirdos this school ain’t it
Posted by a parent on 11/20/2025Absolutely abysmal environment. The school district acknowledges they can't provide a proper education but won't send our son to a proper school because they won't pay for it even though it's the law. These are folks who suspend kids for having special needs including downs Syndrome. Are we living i
Posted by a parent on 3/19/2025I used to go to this school since it opened and let me tell you, they aren’t bad but not the greatest as some of the staff would claim. Most of the teachers were great but there are a few who ruined it for everyone. A teacher I had in the fourth grade would punish students for the smallest infractio

They have been very supportive and creative when it comes to helping my autistic son learn the material.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe admin at this school is awful. The principal, Angela Grant, is one of the poorest leaders I have ever worked for. There is no consistency with expectations of teachers or students and zero support to implement the decisions she makes on a whim. She is extremely out of touch with what’s happening in our classrooms. She is unable to handle being questioned about any of the decisions she makes and never accepts responsibility for anything. There is a very high turn over rate of teachers at this school and it is solely because of the “leadership”. They have failed teachers and students every step of the way. While the admin seems to have good intentions, they have no idea how to lead. The students and teachers are fantastic and deserve so much more than they have been receiving at this school. Most teachers at this school are incredibly hard working and passionate about what they do.Teacher Review3y ago - Hickory Grove Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is very racist. A boy who has a senior in high school called another senior who happens to be African-American the N-word hard R. He has only been suspended and he has not been expelled for such a racist harsh word. And the school claims that they are godly but yet they don’t uphold godly standards. Another incident happened in 2024 where my family member who happened to be black was punched by a little boy. When the black little boy punched him back, he got in trouble and no questions were asked to the white boy who punched him first. They took the white boys’s word for it even though he caused the situation.Parent Review2mo ago - Our Lady Of Assumption Cath School
