Union High School Freshman Academy

I had started to rewrite this many times. Hopefully I can keep this short and to the point, as thinking about the unprofessionalism with some of the teachers make me livid. Many occurrences that had happened to both of my kids, bullying by kids and a few teachers unfair treatment because of some behavioral issues with my son, which was being handle by a Creoks counselor that came out and was a great advocate for my son. The counselor even noticed how there were some mistreatment and stood up for him when I couldn't. I believe 3 of the teachers I have had extreme unpleasant experiences are no longer there, This was back in 2017. However, one of the teachers is still there. If you do have a kid that comes home and says concerning things about a teacher please don't take it lightly even if it something as simple as my teacher doesn't listen to me. I have seen teachers tell their students to reach out to them and then shut the kid up for trying to ask a question. that is confusing for a kid. What I have noticed is that there is more done for the kids that are already doing well or partially well. Not much for those who are really struggling or seen as a "problem". Oh and the amount of homework coming home was not ideal. *Being 20/21 school year and my kids are having zoom meetings, I have a better picture on how some teachers are talking to the kids and it is not ok that is why this review is a little late. The tone they hold with the kids are not the same with the parents, they are building distrust in the education system for some kids. I don't mind being stern or strict, but some of the teachers need to stop going on a power trip with elementary kids. My kids are currently out of peters but still within union district.

Terrible school don't send your kids here instead send them to Darnaby its the best school in Union

My child was behind for numerous years and every year continued to make progress and get closer to where they needed to be all with the teaching and extra help that Moore offered. I can't say enough good things about how much they did to go above and beyond to help my child.

I was concerned that my child's reading level was low and she had not gotten any additional help. Somehow when I met with the teacher and school psychologist, his reading level jumped 5 levels.... which I highly doubt because I did not see a big improvement in that month. The teacher lied so she wouldn't have to work as hard. We transferred to another district and my child was not only a grade level behind, but qualified for speech and IEP service, which I had pushed so much at this school. They also kept putting my child on the wrong bus so I decided to start picking them up, well then they put my child in someone else's car. I pulled my child out the next day, I was tired of my concerns behind brushed off.

We have been at Andersen for 7 years now, with 3 children attending. We love everything about Andersen. In fact, when considering moving, Andersen was one of the reasons we had against moving. The teachers are wonderful and each one cares so much!
