What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 26, 2012

If you have bad vibes about this school, those vibes are trying to protect you and your children from attending one of the most poorly managed schools I've seen in all the twelve years I attended multiple schools as a student. When my son and I arrived at the school on the first day of school, the office doors were locked and one of the school's employees opened and poked her head around the door to ask if she could help us. I asked her if we could come in before talking with her further, and she was very reluctant to let us in. She further stated that they keep the doors locked to minimize heavy traffic flow in the front office. I looked at her like she was crazy and then proceeded to ask her how new students are suppose to obtain information in regards to getting to the right classes on the first day of school. She ignored my question and then told us who my son's teacher was and pointed to her right before telling us to go back out of the office doors and to the back of the school to find his classroom. We were given no map, there were no signs to help direct us, and all we got was a finger pointing us in the right direction (so we thought). Keep in mind my son has special needs, so a simple point in the right direction is really not going to help him when he has problems correctly following directions to begin with. Even I as the parent had to follow another group that we saw walking toward the side of the school, not the back of the school. When we arrived at an open gate, still there was no sign or directory and nobody was there to further assist us. We had to ask an employee walking the halls where we could find his class. It gets better…my son has an IEP (under a special program to assist children with special needs). The teacher told me she hadn’t read my son’s IEP, so she had no idea who he was or what his mannerisms were like on the first day of school. Knowing what I know now about this teacher and how miserable she has made my son’s school year, we should’ve walked away from the school when I couldn’t open the office doors. Close Quote
