What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, May 9, 2016

If you would like your child to be treated with respect and not humiliated or bullied by teachers DO NOT send your child here. There are teachers in the Scott Elementary School who feel the need to embarrass children in front of their peers in class and to lay their hands on children when frustrated over non- compliance.

Forget the administration-- Principal does not address issues appropriately for fear of union retaliation from teachers. Children hurt on playground getting concussions with no teacher being able to state what happened. Children being bullied in bathrooms and teachers stating "if I do not see it for myself it is hear say," even when the child told the teacher directly.

Special education-- You can forget that as well!! If your child has any type of ADHD, Asperger's, or any medical problem- make sure you have twenty different types of proof other wise the appropriate accommodation's will not be made for your child. Scott Campus does not like to deal with any children that may have issue's of any kind.
If you are not a personal friend of one of the teachers or go golfing with the principal or a board member you are not important to listen to when voicing concerns over things you have seen, experienced or witnessed directly. Please note this is our experience with the Scott Campus through the District. Don't even know if the superintendent is aware of half of the issues making this school district one of the worst in the area now, when it used to be one of the best. Close Quote
