The Woods Private School

As a parent of a former student at Matzke Elementary, I feel compelled to share our experience. During my daughter’s time at the school, she endured repeated instances of bullying that caused her distress. Despite bringing these concerns forward, I was disappointed by what felt like a lack of meaningful intervention or resolution from the teachers and staff. As a parent, it is deeply concerning about a child’s well being are not addressed with the urgency, empathy, and care they deserve. While I remain grateful for the genuine friendships my daughter’s amazing friends who provided her with much-needed support during a very difficult time I believe it is important for the school community to reflect on how student concerns are handled. Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and protected in their learning environment.

I encourage you guys to find another near by school. The faculty is terrible. They never have a solution to problems, they are slow on paper work and it caused my daughter to be stranded at school after the bus took her back because they wouldn’t let her get off of the bus with authorized adults that i have ADDED TWICE with her school. And act like i never sent back the demographic paper. On top of that before school even started i added 2/3 of the adults that pick her up while I’m at work until 730pm. TERRIBLE faculty. Teachers great though.

This school released both my children off their campus to strangers! The principal nor the AP took any accountability for this incident. No meeting, email or apology was ever given to ensure this wouldn’t happen again. Instead they put a newly printed dismissal procedure in my children’s folder. Which this procedure was never followed. This wasn’t miscommunication. It was a breach of my children’s safety that should have never happened.

Wonderful school. They have high academic expectations and a wonderful warm environment.
