This school has been such a let down lately and they tell you what you want to hear and your kids will be the only ones to suffer. They aren’t CPS and they don’t offer online classes. Bullying is a problem that I have seen and experienced from this school with my kids for 6 years that they attended and still continue to place my child in the same class with the bully child. So many inconsistencies and when you ask a question or comment something they don’t like on their website or dojo they deleting your comment along with the post to cover up their tracks, or never get back to you and drag till you keep Calling and pestering them. I’m thinking that this will be our last year there. It’s been 5 years with good experiences at the beginning it as the older staff leaves and new people comes in it’s been less and less of the Horizon we once knew.

No I do not recommend this school to anyone anymore

I was excited about an interview I had at this school as a special educator of over 30 years. I heard awesome things about the school and it is beautiful with a lot of good energy. Everything was going well until the PRINCIPAL presented me with an offer. Without even remotely ‘perusing’ my resume, he said that THEY offer an additional 1k for every year one has been teaching. He then asked me how long have I taught and I told him 30 years!! He then made up a ‘statistical personal formula’ that totally negated the 1k per year he previously stated. I could not BELIEVE my ears and even the case manager seemed ‘amazed’ at this new math!!! This is an obvious case of ageism and I am debating if I wish to pursue this legally. SO unprofessional and just reeks of bad business practices!!
I gave this school 3 stars because my children do not attend this Hsa location but at a different hsa school. .However, I dropped my niece off at this school and the staff at the front seem more so serious and very socially detached. It bugs the crap out of me that parents aren’t really allowed to pass the doors into the school hallway. In order to speak to a teacher you have to make an appointment. Like wth? I’m just very happy my kids don’t attend this HSA school, because the McKinley Park campus is much more family oriented and let the parents talk to the teacher after school (without an appointment)..
