Conestee Baptist Day School

This is an awful school, produced the actor of all time

Nuestra experiencia con el programa de educación especial multicategórico de la Escuela Primaria Robert E. Cashion fue muy decepcionante. Los niños con necesidades especiales pasan la mayor parte del tiempo separados de otros estudiantes, con muy poca inclusión, y el programa se siente más como una guardería que como un verdadero aprendizaje.En una ocasión, nuestra hija se quedó sola en un aula llorando durante un tiempo prolongado. Cuando buscamos respuestas, la situación se justificó en lugar de abordarse con la sensibilidad y el profesionalismo que estos niños merecen. Esto es especialmente preocupante para los niños no verbales que dependen completamente de adultos atentos y capacitados.Los niños con necesidades especiales merecen respeto, inclusión y verdaderas oportunidades de aprendizaje. Recomendamos a otros padres que investiguen cuidadosamente todas las opciones antes de aceptar este programa, ya que nuestra experiencia fue muy negativa.

I truly wanted this school to be wonderful; however, what was presented to us and what is actually occurring are two very different things. The school could be wonderful, and many of the families are, but academics are significantly lacking across all subjects except philosophy and theology. Discipline is inconsistent, with disproportionate attention given to minor issues while serious concerns are often overlooked. There is notable favoritism and a culture of gossip typical of small, insular communities.The facilities are old and deteriorating. HVAC issues have persisted for years, leaving students cold in the winter and overheated in the summer. Despite hundreds of thousands of dollars raised annually—and a large percentage of families receiving state tuition assistance—these problems remain unaddressed while fundraising continues. There is little transparency regarding how funds are allocated.New modular classrooms for older students are being installed, which should be an improvement. However, facilities are often unclean, and students are routinely required to clean as a form of discipline. Teachers are not regularly evaluated, and raising concerns is viewed not as an opportunity for growth but as a challenge to leadership. Communication is limited to a small group of parents, with critical information frequently shared informally, leaving many families uninformed.For an extended period, there was no consistent security or law enforcement presence due to diocesan issues, despite the surrounding neighborhood being unsafe. This remains an ongoing concern and leaves students vulnerable. While there is genuine potential here for a strong school rooted in culture and community, character formation should complement—not replace—academic excellence. Overall, we are disappointed with our decision to enroll and with the lack of meaningful progress after years of waiting, though not all was a loss.

I graduated in 2000, as Valedictorian! (Let me brush my shoulders off)! Not only was I able to play sports, I'm short but I can run, I found my inner Mustache Ninja! And for that I must Shave ya Later lovers! #nospellcheckrequired
