Hutchison School

I think that this school is amazing in terms of the education quality and overall learning experience. The teachers are very engaging and definitely stay on top of the students. The only thing I do not love is the church. I am not Christian and this school is very church based, though not as heavy as some others. Some of the teachers over enforce Christian beliefs and one even made a very rude comment toward people of any other religion. Through and through, Woodland is a great school for the education and small class sizes.

We enjoyed CTK for years but unfortunately it’s been a mixed bag. We’ve dealt with bullies in the last year who continued to cause issues with no consequences or admin support. They also change policies and randomly enforce them. We’ve had several amazing teachers over the years despite the admin issues.

The reason i am making this review is not on the staff but the internet. With the building of this new highschool right next to the main school I think it interferes with the internet that me and my associates use for our work. I am A freshman and have talked to several teachers on this issue and even coaches have complained about the horrible connection. The only way I know to express the thoughts of my peers and classmates was through this review and by talking to the administrators which i will do as well. I find this issue boggling since the amount of money students of Lausanne have to pay is quite high noting that it’s a private school and since this school is private I would assume it would have better connections than state funded schools aka public ones. Some people may say this is unnecessary and my response to this argument is do you think me being able to complete online work in a reasonable amount of time without my computer buffering or not opening the page is unnecessary for me perusing my educational prowess and achieving my goals inside of school? If you still think this I believe you must see this problem from a students perspective.

I am so happy that MY GRANDDAUGHTER is a student at this fine school. Getting the education that she needs to advance in this troubling WORLD. We need help from these students that well graduate , to help the WORLD survive. My name is Rick Slankard and I am so Thankful for this school. GO SAIN TS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Westminster is wonderful! My students are truly known and cared for in this community. They are mastering challenging material and both are well prepared for different post-graduation paths.

My experience at this school has left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Who knew advocating for your own child to get the recess they have a right to, in accordance to the new TN recess laws would be such a problem. Instead of respect, effective communication and a principal and teacher that cares for students well-being. I was met with intentional dismissiveness, minimization, deflection and a lack of accountability. To the point I had to involve a liaison. Why? And why would a teacher ignore when asked how she handles recess, yet can tell her class education is recess which clearly was an indirect way of having my daughter deliver me a message. Nonsense!! There was another incident involving a school trip and seating. My daughter mentioned a certain staff member instructed the kids where to sit, but was instructed to sit alone, which she said made her feel lonely. When seeking clarity during an in-person meeting, the lack of transparency and shifting of responsibility was very alarming. No one child gains anything from telling on what they see and hear . Additionally, my daughter reported a cafeteria monitor told a student to "shut up". I brought this concern to the principal, when my daughter first mentioned the staff member saying it under her breath. It was not taken seriously. When it later occurred more openly and I reported it again, my concern was ignored. A principal who says they want parents to continue advocating for their children, yet responds in a dismissive manner or intentionally ignores becomes part of the problem rather than the solution.
