Miami Whitewater Elementary School

N/A

Not what I expected. There is one fundraiser after another. The teachers are more involved in fundraising than anything else. We have had 3 principals in 4 years. Teachers fired and new ones hired. It is a mess. Students keep leaving for various reasons that are too deep to get into here.

I really like St. John's. My son gets extra help at school through the John Peterson scholarship ; this allows the intervention specialists ( special edu teachers) to help him. He also sees the speech therapist and occupational therapist. If your child is eligible they receive an IEP ( individualized education plan) He gets pulled out of class to have help with reading and extended time to take tests along with other cues , but can still be with his classmates most of the day. The small class size also helps a lot. My son is autistic and dyslexic and St. John's has truly been a blessing !
