KIPP Tech Valley Charter School

the bullying at this school is unbearable and the general attitude of the children is horrific. however, barely any of the parents and families are involved. i ask you, if the families don't care why should anyone else?

Love that school ms. Dwyer is really respectful.

There is discrimination in the school and no one is doing anything about it. My kid was bully,hit on the private area and was asked to leave the school for no reason. His grade three teacher tried to cover her mess ,not polite to kids in her class; lied to the principal then sent my kid out of her class just because parent asked for mediation in the class. My kid was left by himself in the hallway over a week, no class or supervision. How cruel a school can be to an innocent kid..

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.
