Redland Oaks Elementary School

My younger sibling went to this school from kindergarten to second grade and had a horrible experience. The school doesn't take bullying seriously. There were multiple occasions where my younger sibling was bullied, not just emotionally but also physically. It's outraging. The teachers participate in bullying as well. The principal doesn't support students. When my sibling spoke up about a teacher bullying them, the principal screamed at them and moved them to another class. The principal should be ashamed of herself. I don't recommend this school whatsoever. I'm so glad my sibling is moving.

I hate to post a bad review of this school, hopefully in the future it will change, and I can update it but for now it's accurate. I learned of a child in my daughter's kindergarten class who at the beginning of the year was having difficult behavior (kicking, hitting the teacher). I thought it was merely an isolated incident. Unfortunately, I didn't find out the extent until last week when this same student threw a chair in class which grazed my daughter on the side of her head. I received a call from the nurse and of course asked her teacher about it later. I reached out to other parents who have children in the same grade, some in her class, others in another teacher's class and that's when I found out this student has been terrorizing and abusing the children all through the school year. He has hit & kicked other children, stabbed the teacher with a pencil and yet is allowed to remain in class. Granted there was another principal who has since been removed but even with our recent meeting with the acting principal the attitude seems to be the same. They have confirmed the district has sent specialists to help. I have had lunch with my daughter and can confirm there are additional people around him now although I am still at a lack of words that there were no consequences for his behavior. I was also made aware (via other parents) that a second student in one of the other kindergarten classes exhibits the same behavior and is apparently related to the child in my daughter's class. I cannot confirm if he is also receiving assistance from other faculty although when I went to have lunch with my daughter, I personally saw him get away from a teacher, knock down a flagpole & then go behind some children & raise his hand to hit them. He was stopped prior to being able to although to me as a parent that is completely unacceptable behavior and how this child is still allowed to be in school is beyond me. Since there was no empathy or support from the leadership at the school we have started looking into options so that our daughter will not attend next year. I hope by posting this review it helps other parents to know what is happening at Longs Creek. I was in the dark until an incident happened, and it seems it will obviously take a child being seriously injured before they bother taking true action.

DONT SEND YOUR SPECIAL EDUCATION KIDS HERE. When I attended this school i got shoved into a closet area and the door was barricaded with another closet and that happened almost daily when i would cry and i ran out the school 3 times and once made it halfway to my neighborhood then decided to come back.

If your have a kid with special needs this is not the school for you. The special needs teachers are no good and dont have the skills to handle kids with different need

Do not chose this school, as they will put the needs of children that have family members who put donations in to put there child first, or if you are a waiting list like we were for 4+ years. Its based on a winning lottery number to have your child be accepted into this school. Dont waste your time with this

I would like to draw everyone's attention. From this Aug, 2025, NEW management under Hayley. My family (and another parent’s family) has been charged $5 each time for supposedly not checking out when you pick up your child, even though we made sure to check out every time we pick up my daughter. we are being charged $20 this month. Be aware, We are not LATE to pick kid!This has created two main problems for me:Confusing system – The check-out process is not clear, and it seems unreliable if parents who do check out are still being fined. And one of parent, they no longer in the school but still being charged. Unclear policy – Who created and enforces this policy? Parents deserve transparency. Instead of supporting families, this feels more like an unfair penalty.Parents should not be held responsible for system errors or unclear rules. I sincerely hope the school will review this practice and make the process more parent-friendly.
