Summerfield Elementary School

So far, so good for us! My child attended kindergarten last year and has just entered first grade. Her kindergarten experience was very good. She had attentive teachers who always kept the parents involved and the kids engaged (even during home-school time) My child exited her kindergarten year more confident and socially evolved than before she entered:)

As a mother of a special needs child, I couldn’t be happier with the accommodations we have had from SRHES. The principal, the case manager, the teachers and staff have made school such a positive experience for my son and I am so very grateful. It’s a great school and community. We love SRHES!

WARNING: im very disturbed by the treatment my son has received, my son is a 21 year old non verbal person with severe autism, he has been attending children's center for a decade. Lately my son has had some new behaviors where he is removing his clothing in the classroom being very non compliant n disruptive which I understand is challenging behaviors to deal with, but my son has been expelled from school for this! The principal is appalled by this n says my son cannot return to school unless he has a medical clearance to make sure it's safe to return. They also said they don't want to touch him! I'm confused isn't this a school for people with disabilities? How are they overwhelmed at this behavior isn't this what their trained for? But they are being very discriminating saying they don't want to touch him like he's an animal! And using the bogus excuse that it's for safety. They had me sign a consent for him to wear a bodysuit to prevent the disrobeing so if they have a suit for that doesn't that mean that some kids take their clothes off? But I think the real reason is my son is 21 n they just don't care or want to help him anymore n thats very sad. So word of advice please don't send your child here they will receive no help n be discriminated so don't waste you or your child's precious time.

Overall, I think this school is pretty great. When I was here, we kept the same classmates with us as we progressed forward through grade levels. This allowed us to bond and create a little community, or more like a family. Although this school is closing, it will never be forgotten.
