My grandson has been put in a class with 4th and 5th graders. (I love the teacher he has now and this should not reflect on her). He is in a self contained ESE class (He has ADHD and intellectually delays.) He also has speech and language impairment). His first year he received no speech therapy at all. the second year, the teacher for his grade was so incompetent that they moved him to a better teacher with kids much older than he is. He is going in the second grade and cannot read, yet they keep passing him because "he can answer verbally." When I went in for a meeting with the staff, everyone glared at me for the first half an hour as if I was a mass murderer. The teacher was combative, uncooperative and emotionally stunted. Why is she even teaching ESE? It's mind boggling. (Turns out she had a temporary certification) At the end of the year, my grandson was put on new medication that made him rage. He had two rage incidents at school. The school decided to not let him go on the field trip but then FORGOT and let him go. They never said a word to me about it. They then decided to suspend him for two days because they forgot to keep him off the field trip. I never received any notification that he had been in trouble until the school had HIS TEACHER call me. Not an administrator, not a counselor, not a behaviorist....his poor teacher. Chaotic, unorganized, below standard....just three years of horribleness.

Horrible my daughter was bullied the whole year. I reported it several times and nothing ever happened. They never even contacted the parents of the two cousins bullying my child. We were left heart broken and with no other choice then to leave the school. They FAILED TO PROTECT MY CHILD OVER 10 TIMES. RUN IF YOU CAN THIS IS THE WORST SCHOOL WE HAVE EVER ATTENDED. ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCES FOR THESE KIDS ACTIONS. AND THE ADMIN CLEARLY DOESNT CARE. SAY NO TO SPOOK HILL ELEMENTARY.

This school is horrible. The teachers are careless and rude. My daughter has even told me some of the teachers here are inappropriate with the students. Avoid this school if possible!
