My child has been attending Sycamore for two years. He feels safe, seen and heard. Honestly this has been our best school experience since kindergarten. The staff reach out regularly and the administration is thoughtful and accessible. I also did a presentation at the school to five classes of combined middle and high school students. All the students participated thoughtfully and without much prompting leading me to believe that they all felt safe expressing themselves even in a mixed age group. The staff really care about the kids. I also really appreciate the school's developmentally appropriate approach to technology.

Our child has attended Sycamore for multiple years. The small class sizes and project based curriculum have been game changing for our twice exceptional child. We’ve seen our child’s independence grow, both academically and socially and has a positive peer group and community. We would recommend this school to those looking for a small school that can support different learning styles.

This was the worst school we could have ever sent our son to. First off, the school is run by an administrator who lacks compassion for children. She seems very concerned with generating income and doesn't seem to care about the students. She makes decisions without thoughtfulness or caring. She sees things in black and white, lacks the ability to reasonably explain her feelings and is the exact opposite of a role model. In addition, the school has a problem with bullying. There is no plan on how to deal with this bullying. Our son was physically attacked at the school and the situation was not properly addressed. On top of it all, the school caters to a population of children with high social needs but there is a lack of knowledge of how to teach in a way that helps these students. If I could give a review of 0 stars I would. Please, don't send your student here. It is not a safe place.
