Cleveland Bailey Elementary School

Absolutely the worst school, i was threatened and my mother was never called. The students bully the others severely and admin and teachers do nothing. Do not bring your kids here. DO NOT TRUST THIS SCHOOL.

The principal is nice, but ignorant of laws related to students with disabilities. It was a struggle to get supports in place, because the teacher dragged their feet submitting the paperwork for an IEP for my child with behavioral and learning disabilities, despite the request being made in writing on the first day of school, and they were chronically suspended or taken out of class for trivial offenses the entire year. Admittedly, my child had substantial conduct problems, but the teacher would not follow the 504 plan that took 6 months to get in place, and the principal backed the teacher every time. I felt bullied and shamed the entire school for my child's behavior, even though the kid was generally well behaved and did their work when the plan was being followed. This was our first any only year at this school, my child has had these problems since pre-K, and we have never had this much difficulty getting supports in place and having their behavior plan followed.

I have children that have now went through Ridgecrest Elementary Pre-K through 5th grade and I am extremely disappointed in how many of the teachers do not teach. They rely solely on computers to teach our children. Hardly any pen to paper learning. I have a child in 5th grade at Ridgecrest Elementary and they are failing him he is on an IEP and his teacher in my opinion relies solely on read this on your computer and answer the questions or we'll watch a video and then you can get on your computer and answer the questions my son does not have the confidence to ask questions and even after December she should know that by now and something else should be planned on how to better help him as an educator that I as a parent have exhausted All odds at home with trying to help him.

Good Morning Willow Brooke, My daughter attended there 1st grade. i had to unenroll her, because it was her 1st year n she wouldnt not stop getting sick. i want to sincerely praise the hard work n dedication your school does for kids. you carved out time for my daughter to help her. your school went up n beyound for her, the counselor on point. give her a raise. none of your staff ever called my child stupid or insulted as mother like other schools outta district that claim to be A Schools did. my daughter can read n write n math wizard. i am truley sadden your school doesnt extend beyound 1st grade. i am writing this hoping the next parent chooses ur school with ease. thank you for actually being there for kids n parents n not calling children stupud after they were in school for 1 day.

I applied for the parental choice child tax credit and they called me in to come sign for the check it was my first year doing it and I wanted to pay for the first half of my sons stuff then pay how I wanted to and they wouldn’t give me my check that was in my name for my baby I had to call the tax commission and they still wouldn’t give me the check and it’s against the law I was told from tax commission they can’t tell you you have to sign it over you don’t and I don’t want my son at a school who makes it hard or is money hungry

The new principal, Mr. McMullen, is a real blessing to this school! He leads with Christian values and is a strong presence on campus. He possesses extraordinary humility and a love for God and the students that shows every day. He makes himself available to parents and is excellent with frequent, open communication with parents and students. We can’t say enough good things about the positive impact he has had on our kids and the rest of the students in his first semester as principal.
