Maple Grove Elementary School

Same praises & same complaints as many other schools. Better than most in the area.

My children were bullied by teachers and staff, my son has autism and has a hard time telling me about his day. I learned he wasnt allowed to read an animal book because it wasnt a chapter book and since he didnt pick one out he was given a chapter book in SPANISH. He asked if he mixed his slime enough but because they weren't supposed to be talking he had to wait until last to pick the color he wanted. My daughter was bullied on a regular basis and the teacher did nothing about it. Both kids developed low self esteem and mental health issues. After 3 years of that I am now homeschooling what they have gone through at this school is by definition discrimination

A teacher threw my sisters notebook at the walk because she was drawing in class. My sister, a generally well behaved child, saw a kid on freetime during ELA, decides to draw and then had a teacher take her notebook and throw it AGENST A WALL. I understand how some of these students can be but that is way to extreme and aggressive. Multiple students saw this and can testify. Also, he (in mh opinion) bullied my friend. They are autistic and had meny triggers, which they communicated to him. He then goes out of his way to tease them using those triggers, I also remember him calling them stupid. They are homeschooled now because of him and bullies. Over all, bad experience with him. There are other amazing teachers here, though.But the support here for regular teachers isn't that great. The social worker is amazing but if you have mental disorders but aren't in the Special Education class, you dont get accommodations you need. Not even with official diagnosis. I barely learnt anything in my 6th abd 7th grade of school because of some of these teachers. I couldn't focus in class and didn't have anything to help me. I felt miserable here when I was a student. I hope everyone working there the best but goodness some of them were horrible.

The personalized care shown to all the students is exceptional. It is a caring, loving environment that focuses on preparing our children for continued education after 8th grade. We have 3 children, 4K , 3rd and 6th grade and they are happy going to school and anxious to discuss what they have learned.
