Fairview Elementary School

My child experienced neglect here. Came home starving every day, teacher was throwing out the food and not allowing enough time to eat. Child suffered severe anxiety from this school. Had issues coming home soaked in urine from not being toileted or diaper change. Issues with other children hurting my child and the school not reporting it and attempting to cover it up. Do not send your child here if they are nonverbal or unable to communicate what happened. Teacher refused to communicate with parents about whether basic needs were being met for my special needs child. IEP was not followed or developed at all. Teacher was openly gas-lighting parents about the severity of the child’s condition. They refused to give child resources that they had available at the school and were not at capacity, based on the teachers ‘belief’ that the child was ‘fine’. The child has 3 different diagnoses from a neurodevelopmental pediatrician and the school refused to accept it. The school attempted to blame the parents as if it was a behavioral issue ‘at home’. Teachers denied seeing any behavioral concerns, but there was physical evidence that it was occurring. Parents observed child at school and child was presenting maladaptive behaviors. Childs academic progress worsened here, and teacher attempted to present it as if the child got better and acted as if she cured my child’s conditions. 0/10 would not recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about Laurel Ridge. My family went through a rough time, which greatly affected my children and their attendance. The faculty and staff, though, never gave up on my children, and my children are doing very well now.

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Oak View. The teachers are hands on and communicative and willing to answer questions about progress. We feel our children have received dedicated attention and are pushed in the right way to showcase their strengths.

This is the third year for my youngest one. We are happy with the school, the principal, the teachers and the admin staffs too. The aye reachable, responsive, and friendly. In overall, we found that the school serves what the kids need and parents’ expectations.

Mark Bibbee is the issue. Being that he is the principal it has a trickle down effect. Staff are lazy and rude. When you bring it to Mr Bibbees attention he says he will do something about it but does nothing. You can see him regularly flirting with staff members and moms. Bullying is an issue. My son has another kid hold a pencil to his eye in the lunch room. Mr Bibbee did nothing because the student was a staff members child. My son had to hide from the kid for the rest of the school year. I do not recommend this school while Mr Bibbee is the principal

We’ve been at Bonnie Brae for the past couple years and are so happy with everything. The teachers are all wonderful and engaged, the administration is responsive and supportive of families and staff, and there is strong community engagement and so many great activities! They are also a purple star school so there is lots of support for incoming military families.
