Guillen Middle School

when my son first went there everything was great. the principal held staff accountable but she left and everything went down the drain. my son started getting picked on by students and staff. and when I'd report it nothing was being done. I would get the "you never told me" even hough I had emails by them saying they would investigate. my son was definitely treated differently. if you weren't Hispanic no one gave any cares about you. my son is considered special needs and it was like fighting tooth and nail to get the stuff that was all agreed on during his ARD meeting to be done. and when I went up the chain of command the teachers would retaliate and make my sons day even harder. very unprofessional. these are grown adults. I have requested footage and have seen both my child in the wrong as well as staff in the wrong. but I can't provide assist with helping my son succeed if i dont have my sons accurate documentation to support anything to his outside providers it makes it all harder. it's the last thing I want to do is be constantly undermining the staff . but when they tell me one thing and on the camera footage they are the ones in the wrong. it puts me in a bad spot. on a daily log they said my son was there on Dec 15th 2024... thats a Sunday. but when I asked the teacher they denied it. and my son came home crying said the teacher screamed at him all day and said hurtful things to him. this is a child you are degrading . what is wrong with you all. this school is the absolute worst. oh and they restrain child without having CPI training and always fail to provide restraint documentation. my son comes home with bruises. what am I supposed to do when episd protects their own instead of the child...

I'm extremely pleased with staff and students who I see are doing good and love the attention to detail with education. Thank you

This is an amazing school. The teachers really care. They are not going to sugarcoat the way other private schools do. Honest and dedicated to each child. If you want the social links that come with private schools, this school is not it! They are only interested in the kids and could care less what parents do for a living. Refreshing change from last school.
