I just had to review after reading the one review. I have 2 autistic children. One has moved on to middle school and the other is still attending Eisenhower. It's a great school, the paraprofessionals, teachers, even the principal were very engaged in both of my children's education. I had to pick up my daughter once because she tripped and got hurt (yeah that can happen). One of of the paras was tearful because she was heartbroken to see my little girl hurt. When I have encountered issues at the school, it's almost always a parent being completely inappropriate because there kid isn't getting good enough grades or got in trouble at the school. I do remember a kid getting suspended and later expelled that was autistic. He was referred to a school that specialized in behavioral disabilities. He'd had multiple episodes of hurting a teacher and 1 student and tried to throw a chair through the lobby window. It wasn't his fault, he had great difficulty with emotional regulation and was a saftey issue in that environment. I remember his mom screaming at the principal in the lobby because she had to pick him up. I've had to pick my daughter up before when she was emotionally disruptive. The school was closed most of 2020 due to Covid19. My child attended from 2018-2023. Absolutely great school.

I can’t stand this school. Two of my children went here and were bullied and my autistic son was suspended multiple times. They have no idea how to handle special education and the bullying is out of control.
