Landstown High School

My daughter started at this school and was selected as a gifted student. We’re so proud of her, so far, it’s been a great experience.

This school could be better if they chose to hire good genuine people who actually want to help children. This place needs new face with some positive youthful energy to keep these kids going. I know this is a low-income family school but there are many ways to go about guiding these children and improving their lifestyle. The people here are getting too out of date as if they can't keep up with today's society.

I went to new castle for 2021-2025 and its amazing, its fun there and for fifth grade, you even get a field trip to top golf at the end of the year!

The communication from the staff is lacking. My child has had nothing but problems with being bullied and the administration just gives you excuses and no actions. If you try to reach out you are lucky if they respond in a few days and it will be two line email they don't address your concerns at all and completely disregard any concerns I brought up about my child. Trying to schedule a meeting is ridiculous they expect working parents to drop everything the day before they plan a meeting and don't discuss it with you before. Not to mention they pay no attention to the contact information you provide, even after several attempts both verbally and in writing they continue to try to reach me at a number I cannot access during working hours. Instead of trying to reach his next emergency contact they leave a voicemail and send them back to class. We have had so many problems with the teachers rushing the kids to the next assignment on the list and not taking time to make sure they know the material. They claim to offer them " support" but this is a joke. The only thing this school has done for my child is the last two years is caused him to need therapy outside of school and caused him to be behind in his educational needs.

My son attends their prek program and has a disability. He was touched inappropriately inside his pants by another student on more than one occasion. The assistant principal handled this report extremely poorly and seemed to try to brush it under the rug. In the end they ultimately blamed my son’s disability as the reason for not removing the other child from his classroom because he wasn’t able to tell them exactly when it happened. I have already spoken with another school and will be submitting an out of zone request purely because of the way this was handled by the assistant principal. No documentation was made when we met to make the report. She undermined my child throughout the entire process. She also consistently lied and made inaccurate statements on the Title IX form, that she corrected when called out on. This is not someone who belongs as a head of a school.
