St John The Evangelist School

I have a son in attendance at this school and they have been nothing but helpful and supportive of him. He has an IEP, needs special education, OT and speech, plus he attends ABA Therapy in the afternoon which the school has allowed a special schedule for him to attend. He also requires some extra help with bathroom needs as he was born with a form of spina bifida, which the school had accommodated and taken care of for us since he was 4 years old. There is one special education teacher in particular that we love and supports our son with care. We would definitely recommend this school for special education but also for any other child.

Will never recommend this school, this school has changed my child a lot. Teachers at this school are mean and like to bring kids down. They’re the reason why my child has a bad mental health. The teachers have talked about my child, treated my child bad, and never gave her the help she needed.

My son attended Fairview from K4 through 8th grade, and had an excellent experience, from involved teachers to all specials (art, music, gym and library) provided throughout his time there. Fairview helped him become the curious, well-rounded high school student he is today, fostering a love of piano that he continues to enjoy. Many of the staff who guided him throughout those years are still at Fairview, so if the teachers are remaining, you know this school has something going for it. The school also enjoys support from its neighborhood in the form of neighbors working there, and sending their children there. I count this as another plus.

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.
