Open Quote The school academically is very well rounded, and being attached to Scott AFB is a plus. This being said, I am a current resident of Scott AFB In patriots landing, and want to make sure everyone understand that there is no school bus system offered if you live in patriots. Sure in the warmer months it isn't too bad to walk your kids to school, however in the colder months it requires driving them on, and with a child in preschool I had to drive Off of base to get to the school and then back on. This caused gas expenditures that were not in our budget. I would also like to include that there seems to be no special considerations, at least from what I have been told. I have frequent migraines that often leave me all but debilitated, very much incapable of driving or walking my kids to school, so they would miss school. Fall behind on their studies. Housing also would not work with us to allow a move to a school bus friendly part of housing. It created a long drawn out issue. Then when my third child went into preschool that was another trip to school I spent more time driving and waiting on my children at their school than anything else I did all day. The scheduling is horrid for pick - ups as is the traffic problem with pick up and drop offs. I have pulled all three of my children from the school and have chosen to home school them. The front of office staff on numerous occasions have treated me with rude and sarcastic comments making the experience at the school even worse than before. The only saving grace truly are the teachers, the 4 we've dealt with have been amazing and the only reason we stayed as long as we did. Close Quote
