Sending our daughter to this school was the biggest mistake we have ever made. This school might be ok for a typically developing child, but is the worst nightmare for any special needs or special education student. They go out of their way to deny services, than once your child does have services they do not follow the IEP’s. The teachers are out of date on essential training (like restraint training.) They also move gen ed substitutes or special education aids into special education teaching positions- without additional training. There is actually a question as to whether all their special education teachers have valid certificates and licences to teach special education. They are also very out of compliance for many procedural safe guards. Our daughter has digressed in behavior and even started showing dangerous behaviors she doesn’t exhibit anywhere else but school.
I could not in good conscious recommend this school to anyone- but definitely do not go to this school if your child has any disability.
The concept behind this school is excellent, however academic delivery is lacking. Insufficient time is spent on academics-for example, 5th grade math is only taught twice weekly. Students can’t master these dificult concepts in only 2 days per week. 5th grade standards were the 8th grade standards to just a couple of years ago. Minimum state standards for concepts are not being taught across all areas of academic focus. The administration lacks professionalism and will not respond to parents who seek to address concerns with them. Your child will know how to recycle and groom chickens if they attend, however, they will lack the basic academics skills needed to be successful in life.
Their ratings on STAAR are terrible and they have a subpar passing rate because the teachers and children are too busy running around putting on plays instead of focusing on academics.
