Forest Lake Elementary School

They do NOTHING about bullying, plus teachers are lazy and only on their phone during teaching time. Very rude staff too.

Hay mucho bully y no solo entre estudiantes también de algunas maestras se supone que las maestras deben dar lo mejor de ellas y dar el ejemplo. Ni la directora hace nada todo lo mantienen en secreto y lo manejan como accidente. Si pudiera darle cero estrellas se lo daría

We enrolled our son at Timmerman when he was around 18–20 months old. This review reflects our personal experience.At the time, he had a speech delay. During nap time, I was told his teachers would clap near him to check whether he could hear. There was frequent concern expressed to us about possible hearing issues. We had his hearing professionally tested, and his results were normal.One moment that was especially difficult for us was during a classroom birthday celebration. In a photo shared from that day, our son can be seen sitting near the wall and crying while the other children were seated at the table. We were told there wasn’t enough room at the table for him. As parents, that was upsetting to see.While he was enrolled, there was one incident where he bit another child. We understand biting can happen at this age, particularly for children with limited language skills who become frustrated. It was not acceptable behavior, and we addressed it seriously. However, we sometimes felt that he may have been viewed primarily through the lens of that incident rather than as a toddler still developing communication skills.We did not have a formal sit-down meeting to discuss a clear plan of support, which we would have appreciated. Our son cried at drop-off each day, and after about a month, we decided to withdraw him.He is now at a different school and is thriving. He enjoys going, and we have seen significant positive growth.Every child is different. Our experience may not be the same as others’, but for families whose children need extra patience or support, I encourage you to ask detailed questions about how developmental differences are handled and how communication with parents works.There are wonderful educators out there, and finding the right fit can make all the difference.
