Seventy-First High

A teacher here assaulted my daughter pushing a book into her chest and stomach. Nobody from the school not even the principal has reached out to me in regards of this matter. And not only that the teacher denied my daughter toiletries to use the bathroom so my daughter was soiled in her own poop until she got home from school. I wouldn’t let a dog go to this place to be taught anything let alone a child. Im highly disappointed in the school system in Cumberland county and it will soon be paid off after I seek legal counsel to sue. I would t dare allow this to go unheard of or have this teacher feel she has gotten away with what she put my child through after two weeks of just being a new student here.

As a parent of a student with disabilities, I expected J W Coon to provide basic accommodations and support. Instead, we experienced:MEDICATION REFUSAL: Despite providing documentation, staff wouldn't administer prescribed medication while constantly complaining about "missing paperwork" and even after they had the updated instructions, they did not give him his medication. NO ACADEMIC SUPPORT: Teachers compared my child to neurotypical students and demanded equal performance without providing required accommodations 504 PLAN VIOLATIONS: Ignored legally-binding accommodations and actively blocked IEP evaluation despite clear need ZERO COMMUNICATION: Never informed me about problems until they became crises HOSTILE TO DISABILITY NEEDS: Staff seemed annoyed by requests for basic supportsThis school creates impossible barriers for students who learn differently. If your child has an IEP/504, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere - JW Coon will fight against providing services rather than help your child succeed.

My sons went to this school from March 2024-June 2024. My son’s 5th grade teacher were amazing. However my youngest son’s 1st grade teacher was horrible. She was not a good teacher at all. She just gave up on him on the 2nd day. And the principal was even worst. When we went in to speak with them she implied that my family was poor and that what was causing my sons issue. She never even gave my son a chance. When i got the superintendent involved they told me when they went to observe that there was nothing wrong with my son or how he was acting. The principal claims to support all children but from me asking around it seems like children of color are the children that aren’t really supported unless you give into them. Which I’m not. My priority is my children and the success and saftey. She made my 1st grader very uncomfortable to the point where he didn’t want to go to school anymore. We have found a much better option. Good luck

I called to see what time kids get outta school Friday and the lady that answered was very rude.
