Mansfield High School

They teachers care so much for the kids and work endlessly to get them where they need to be academically and socially. They provide so many opportunities for families to participate in student learning and partner with the PTA to bring so many extras to enhance the student’s education. The enrichment team is amazing and really focus on highlighting each student’s strengths. We are so proud to be Boren Bears!

Erma Nash was a horrible choice for our child with ASD. The Kindergarten teacher would scream at him “Eyes Up! Eyes Up!” We also witnessed her practically dragging him down the hallway by the arm during dismissal and when she saw us at the door, she wouldn’t even make eye contact and just threw him in the office. YOU ALL were the ones who said he didn’t need a helper when we told you he did due to his language delay and sensory regulation issues. I have also witnessed them speaking horribly to other children who clearly were either neurodivergent or suffered from some sort of delay. Thank God I pulled my child out in less than 2 weeks after starting. It took him months to get back very the trauma he experienced at Erma Nash. With recovery and intervention, he is now FLOURISHING from Level 2-3 to Level 1-2, verbal, above grade level, kind and more emotionally intelligent than most peers. If you have a child with moderate ASD and actually want them to progress and not just be “babysat,” please do your research before subjecting your child to potential harm that will ultimately be denied and gaslit.

AMAZING school from the principal to the teachers. I would give 12 stars if I could. The teachers are thoughtful, the curriculum is challenging, and they cater to your child's strengths and gifts. Instructional planning and design is done with equity in mind. If child is behind they are not forgotten, if child is advanced they are strengthened. Keep in mind they are dealing with hundreds of different personalities and probably only hear negativity, are over worked and under paid, yet the teachers still display grace, compassion and love to the students and families. The enrichment enhances my child's academic journey. From Tech to STEM, Music, Diversity events, there is a reason this school is rated so high. Their SPED program is top notch!!! My son LOVES school and smiles so wide, he has really come out of his shell, doing advanced math and reading. I am blessed and privileged to have found such committed partners in my child's academic journey. THANK YOU ESE!!
