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
Posted by a community member on 6/14/2025This school is 10/10. My daughter transferred here mid year due to some issues at her first middle school. I am not a Karen by any means, but I advocated for her due to some unfortunate experiences at her previous school. I was so thankful that she was transferred to Whitman!!! The school, first and

Posted by a parent on 11/8/2019Horrible, my child shattered her elbow on the gym teachers watch. The secretary called us saying our dauggter feel and is crying she wants to talk to you. He arm was swollen. Very obvious that it was broken . To the point that she had to have pins put in her arms. My son had his hands covered in fib

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review11mo ago - Jeremiah Curtin Leadership Academy

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 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 discriminationParent Review4mo ago - Honey Creek Elementary
