The comment made by another parent here is completely in agreement with mine. The school can convince a parent that their child will receive the best education and academic support, but all it has accomplished is to make my son so stressed that his mental health is affected. I have not once felt that my child's IEP had been considered. It was not until three weeks into the school year that his mandated busing began, which resulted in him missing many days of instruction. As a result, he fell into a hole from which he could not crawl out to this day. The exception to this claim has been three people who have been my point of contact, and honestly, the only people who have attempted to help, but none of them have been his teachers. My child was a gifted and talented student from the third grade. He has always performed well, regardless of the few hiccups expected of a child with an IEP and certain struggles that I thought his IEP would help him overcome. They do not care if he falls through the cracks at Dock Street, and I am tired of hearing my child say to me that he does not "feel like the school even wants him there." Not one teacher has ever made an effort to reach out to me, even after a teacher's actions caused my child a mental health crisis. I am not even sure my son feels safe at school anymore.

it's a beautiful school but there no team work with the Teacher's in that school they love to give low grades even if you deserve a high grade they still give you a low grade it's my son first year in the school and all we had was headache from the Teacher's instead of Teacher's coming half way with the Parent all you get is a hard time with them even went the parent working with the child and that alone its so sad and even in all this I feel very stressful what they should do is change all the Teacher's in that school and find Teacher's that want to really Teach Children and they see these children making it in life like they could see them self like Lawyers and Doctors and much more this school is not what it's say it's is there have to be some changes and make the school better. the community is beautiful but people got to go. were not in the classroom but there has to be some order in the classroom even went they meet in the computer there is no order in the classroom Teacher's have to show the children Respect in order to get respect.
