STEM focus, clean rooms, administrators and teachers focus on student needs Close Quote

by a parent
Thursday, March 10, 2016

I had a horrible experience with this school. It began with the rude secretary and ended with the administration unwilling to resolve a bullying problem. My 5 year-old daughter was lost at their school and was bullied both on their school bus and on their playground. The bus driver, teacher, and principal were made aware of it. The first step was for me to miss work so that I could drive my daughter to school. The bully on the bus who had been shoving my 5 year-old under the seats was permitted back on the bus after a short time. She was allowed to kick my child out of her seat and choose the seat she wanted, leaving my child to sit with a stranger.
We ultimately resolved the bullying situation at Sealston by removing my daughter from the school and sending her to a local, private school at great expense to our family. The school met with us one morning to tell us that her being bullied was normal behavior of children and that changing schools would be expensive. They were unwilling to hold the children accountable or help my daughter. Close Quote
