Zillah Middle School

My child was on a 504 plan for ADHD while attending Hilton. I felt that the teachers and principal did not follow the 504 plan and instead of trying to help my child in a constructive way, they always wanted to punish my child. This included taking away all recesses for that day even though his psychologist wrote the school a letter saying how detrimental this could be to my child’s health. I did everything that was asked of me including taking my child to behavioral health classes however, the teachers and principal did not want to follow the advice that was given. I felt that everyone was against us rather than trying to work together. I was even told that I should “put my child on medication” to make the teacher’s job easier. The principal, Mr. Phillips, constantly berated my child for their behavior and did nothing to try and help. I do not recommend this school if you have a child with special needs.

We are starting our fourth year at CWCA! It's been a wonderful experience so far. I hear a lot of parents express their fears when their children are entering the public school system. Instead of learning bad habits and being bullied, the younger kids are mentored by the older kids and made a part of this awesome big family! This plays a huge part in building our kids' self-esteem and self-confidence. We are blessed and relieved to know that our children are safe, loved, and well-educated at this school.
