Arbor Hill Elementary School

Find another school for the sake of your child and yourself. There is better education on YouTube than here. They do not take discipline and bullying seriously. Save your child the horror and abuse (mental, emotional and physical) they will go through and maintain your sanity. The teachers will not do anything but tell your kids to ignore and over look them being bullied, the assistant principle will just butter you up so you can go home, you’ll never see the principal and let’s not even mention the superintendent that is technically nonexistent until court is mentioned and one of his employee’s says something.

Administration can be confrontational children complaints are thrown under the rug. Unfriendly environment, bullying, and confidential information spoke out in the open.

this school isint really that good because of the toxicity and probaly evan racism.I would NOT recommened this school if you dont want your child to lose their sanity with this building.also i feel like the nurses there barley do anything.Like if you bruise your knee,ice pack,have blood pouring out of your neck,ice pack,if you have a BIG bruise with blood gushing out,ice pack like they only use a ice pack if you are hurt like they gota use bandages or casts.also,the salary at the school is horrible,they barely pay the teachers aything but they can build a large school build like why cant they pay the teachers more.If any teacher is reading this,get a better job.

Despite a few dedicated teachers, my experience at Doane Stuart was almost entirely negative. I did not feel safe or supported at school and was bullied my entire time there. Rather than help solve the problem, administration suggested I do all schoolwork from home without any guidance (at full tuition) until things worked themselves out. Some version of this situation happened every year I was there until my senior year when they told me it would be easier for me to just not return for the rest of the year. Drugs are also a significant issue at the school which continues to be swept under the rug because retaining full tuition students and donor families is the priority at DS, not safety. Financial instability and the constant turnover of faculty and students led to a very unstable environment and greatly affected the quality of the academics and student life. Families were always assured that there was something better around the corner, but things only seemed to go downhill over the past few years. All of this disorganization and the issues with bullying and drugs left the senior class unprepared for college applications and some people did not apply during their time at DS, but this also went unaddressed. I am grateful for the teachers that supported me, but I would not recommend this school to anyone, especially after recent changes. Students and their needs should be the priority, not public image or profit.
