Bell's Hill Elementary School

My son is 6-years -old and he still cannot read a word. He was diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and other psychotic disorder. The school does not recognize these problems and refuses to give him special-ed. They do not know the meaning of "not one child left behind." Also, to pick up your children in the afternoon is a joke! I would never recommend this school to anyone.

I also want to raise concerns about what I perceive as discrimination against my child based on his disability, gender, and race. The school community at Kendrick Elementary is predominantly Hispanic, including teachers and students. Unfortunately, I have observed and been told that Hispanic students and staff can sometimes be rude or dismissive toward students of other races.It appears that when students of different races, including my child, are mistreated by Hispanic students, these incidents are often not taken seriously or properly addressed. However, if a student of the same race as my child were to bully another, it is treated as a significant issue. This inconsistent approach to discipline and handling of bullying creates an unfair environment where my child is left vulnerable and unsupported.This perceived unequal treatment based on race and the lack of appropriate response to bullying has caused my child significant emotional distress. I am requesting that the school address this issue with the seriousness it deserves to ensure all students are treated equally and fairly, regardless of their race or background.

My daughter has a learning disability and the kids here were horrible to her all year . These parents need to teach there kids not to pick on others
