Academically this school is good. On the other hand the teachers do not have good social skills. My son went to kindergarten here and I was not happy with his homeroom teacher at all. His teacher picked favorites and my son was not treated fairly. Nothing was ever done about an IEP he was suppose to be put on. Lets just say, your child will learn a lot but will not be treated the way he or she should be. My child will never go back to this school again!!!!!!!
If you want to be told that your child needs to be retained as opposed to being taught this school is for you. If you want to hear constant excusses for lack of teaching this is the school for you. If you want to be treated like an idiot this is the school for you!!! I moved here and every parent that I have met that is envolved with their child's education have pulled their children from this school. The head principle rarely returns calls or emails; she will have her incompetent staff do it for her.
we love this school!! they worked with us for my sons speacil needs.. at first they were not able to provide his speech that he needed. so the school and district footed the bill for a private speech teacher! parent involment is wonderful, seems like every week a school event that involes the parents and familys is going on..just a few examples.. movie nights, RIF nights, and well just all kinds of thing. i love there no bulling policy. and the way things are taken care of quick when a problem happens.. the staff and teachers are just wonderfull! i feel welcomed every time i come in the door!! a great school for any child! all the schools in Colorado Springs should take a page from this schools book, and become more like them!
The cooperation we got from the entire school system in getting our son into Head Start was amazing! We had home visits, testing... everything our son needed.
Would not recommend the Head Start classroom, I'm pulling my child out.
We have had a terrible experience with this school. The academics are nothing to boast about and the level of commitment to special needs children is almost entirely lacking. Their answer seems to be to tell you your child is severely disabled and needs a psychiatric facility. As far as we can see there is no effort to meet the parents half way to work out a solution.
Academic programs are sufficient, but nothing spectacular. Administration seems to be blind to bullying, however.
