Acton Elementary School

Not the school or probably district, to be in, with an IEP. Parent concerns will constantly be ignored and because ‘they’re the experts’ will constantly be thrown in your face. It’s slowly burning the light out in my child and I see them giving up more and more everyday. You’ll constantly be told goals are being met, but data is never shown to you and then when goals are not met, they keep it the same instead of re-evaluating using the, just give it time approach. We came to this district with a IEP that they completely threw out the window within 5 days of using it, but it’s probably my own fault letting them manipulate me into signing it away with a ‘you can trust us’ approach, I should have told them no to their PWN and disagreed with it until we could pay an attorney to look at the situation. Now we’ve done nothing but fight to get what little we do have back. When your student fails something, the district has a ‘redo’ policy that is the a fail safe for not providing more help. When the student has a chance to redo, it can bring their grade up to a passing 70-75 and then the district looks like they aren’t letting anyone fail. The problem with this is the student with an IEP has to complete their daily work twice, almost everyday, instead of just getting the help to get it right the first time. What my child sees is, I have to do more work than everyone else and I still can’t get any better of a grade. With learning gaps in my child’s education, they will not back track to make sure my child has a firm foundation, but keeps them in the gen ed class in the hopes they’ll just figure it out on their own and eventually catch up with ‘exposure’ to grade level curriculum. Teachers also don’t grade the students work themselves, students have to pass it to each other to be graded, which then makes room for other kids to comment on my child's consent failing assignments everyday and just another subtle way of beating them down. If you want to start dealing with your child begging to not go to school, become less self confident in themselves and lose the eagerness to learn something new, this district is the place to be.
