Forest Hills Elementary School

No training whatsoever with kids who have autism this school called social services on us for our 3 year old who is diagnosed level 3 autism and told them she has behavioral issues and she’s always dirty she’s a child a child with sensory issues a child who won’t keep shoes on a child yall physically called on for one when we moved here from Cleveland we handled documentation after documentation and then when they reported me and my wife they didn’t even give our right names yall are a school and have the birth certificate and couldn’t even get my name right yall seen my kid once a week for a hr twice so please explain how u kno my child and to tell social services a special needs child has behavior issues rude awakening she’s on the spectrum that comes with it but to totally degrade me as a parent lucky I had dr visit paper trails on top of the dss worker saying it was this school and not the first time report have been targeting parents with kids with needs tells me it was the school and they didn’t even understand because nothing they said was true if my child was not taking care of why did she go to the dr for these very reason we have our paper trail and I physically did not let my child receive services thru this school we are back in a autism school with people who understand her needs provide intensive therapy not just seeing my kid a hr a day …. Yall are no help get your staff trained and what’s even crazier is I work for the board of disability in Cleveland Ohio moved my family down just to have to move back because yall couldn’t meet my child’s needs yall are so under trained and not there to understand a kid and their individual issue but quick to call and blame a parent I do not recommend this school

I absolutely love this school! My son has a few different Disability’s but not once did they act like this was a problem! They provided love and extra support from outside resources to help him succeed! His teachers from each grade were also very supportive and on board with helping him in anyway needed! If a behavior problem ever accured everyone worked with me to help him get back on track! NorthWalterboro Christian Academy changed my son's life and I will forever be grateful! He loves going to school each day and loves everybody there! (side note) My son came from a public school (in Walterboro) with all failing grades and not knowing how to read, yet they were going to pass him into 2nd grade. We changed schools, put him back into 1st grade, and ever since he has made nothing but straight A’s! He is doing so well there that he no longer needs outside help! Love NWCA!!!

There are some great families attending this school and it has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the lack of a moral compass and backbone in the administration trickles down to lackluster performances in staff and curriculum.
