Roadrunner School

This school is awful. They call you to tattle on your child as if you can take care of something that they are suppose to be equiped to handle. They don't let you know anything that goes on until it's blown way out of control. There is no way for a child to be a child at this school. They nit pick on every little thing even the most minor issues and I've actually walked in on them arguing with my child and others. They argue with me on the phone. I say run away from this school as fast as you can. They suck you in and then your poor kid can't get out! My childs grades are poor now but has always been am A/B student but now is getting F's. I'm working on a different placement it's that bad!

The Education that my daughter recives at this school is only so-so. They don't care if the homework done is right or wrong as long as it is finished, an they get an A for it. So now my daughter thinks it's ok to put any answer on the paper as long as it is finished.

My son has attended this School since Kindergarten. He has a mixed diagnosis of emotional disabilities and Roadrunner has always done their best to accomodate him through his difficulties. While I don't always agree with some of the rules, I agree with the set-up and structure of the School. There are like any School good and bad teachers and we have had our share of each. My son has tried to be mainstreamed once unsuccessfully so at this point we know that Roadrunner is the best placement. For a child with bipolar, OCD, and tourette's this has been a life saver. A place where no where else would have put up with the behaviors that Roadrunner does. He is accepted by not only the Administration but also his peers as they are dealing with the same behavior issues. The kids are all for one and one for all!

I am impressed with this school. My son is in the self-contained autism preschool class, and he loves it. He started in February of this year with no words, and now he has speech, sings and is becoming more social. The teachers and aides are friendly and professional, and give daily feedback on his progress and behavior.

I feel that this school has excellent academic programs.

The staff there does not acknowledges disabilities even with a Dr.'s evaluation on file, nor are they trained in most cases to deal appropriatly with disabilities. Our child still suffers from the lasting affects of trauma this school has left her with. We have now learned that we can write administrative complaints about any wrong doing to the Arizona Deptment of Education and we have 3 years to write these complaints. Please let everyone know this is not an appropriate school for special needs kids.
