Barbara Fasken Elementary School

I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the support and care from the school. My son is a special needs student and faces unique challenges, but I’m truly grateful that he is in a school where he receives the programs and attention he needs to thrive. The special education services have made a meaningful difference in his growth and development.The teachers and principal are kind, supportive for students. It’s comforting to know that my child is in an environment where he is understood, encouraged, and given every opportunity to succeed. I highly recommend this school to any parents.

Extremely grateful my daughter attends Parker. Staff is so friendly and truly cares for my daughter! High recommend Parker!!!

In my experience an excellent school with a great staff.

This is a great place for children to learn and grow by caring professional. The staff is one of the best you will find in Midland. The leadership is open to new ideas and welcomes student and parents everyday!

Whenever there is a problem, I feel comfortable reaching out to not only the teachers but the principles as well. They always have a swift response and game plan put in place immediately.

Hello, I would like to share my side of things I was a student who went to Trinity School for 11 years. Different stories about the administration staff being sketchy were always around me, and I thought they were way exaggerated, but after shady things started to happen to me I realized that maybe they were not. Lets start out with before you put your kid into this school do a deep dive and really look into the dozens of stories about Trinity, nobody should have to go through what I went through. I have Dysgraphia and ADHD Trinity had the papers disclosing that I had Both of those but didnt give me any of my accommodations from 5th grade to 8th. Now You have to get re-tested every 3 years which I did not do because there's no point they weren't giving me my accommodations anyways such as extra testing time. Along with that, Trinity's counseling is very sketchy. Page 4 of the contract you have to sign states They are not liable for any counseling your child is given. Some friends went to the counselor concerned about me to which the counselor did not handle it correctly and sent me home till I could get a doctors note saying I was ok. I came back to school with the note the next day (Showing she had no right to send me home) She then asked if it was real (It was I didn't sit there for no reason in a doctor's office to get a fake note.) On it, it disclosed I had a counselor, and the school didn't need to interfere with me. But that's exactly what they did. Basically, to the point where they said to sign a contract allowing the school to be linked with my counselor meaning she could share info with the school and they could with her. Or leave the school. From how the school had been handling what was going on we knew they couldn't be trusted with the contract. The school also has a big issue with money if you donate money to the school like big amounts, then your child can basically do whatever they want. My Neighbores child dropped out of Trinity because of an incident with a kid doing drugs and getting caught, but the school did nothing about it since the kids parents where dontaing money to the school. It went against her morals to be giving a school so much money when they will go against their own rules just for a bit of cash.

Yes, Bynum is a great school for special needs children, but they do not tell you everything you need to know before you pay the ridiculous application fee. You don't get that back no matter how much you need it. I worked for a business school where the Director only cared about getting the money. Whether the student was mentally capable was irrelevant. Seems ti me Bynum only cares about the money. Federally funded with public donations, yet only parents with a lot of money...not paycheck to paycheck...need apply.
