I've heard very good things about this school and I'm might be placing my son here at Vineland but first I need to know more about the ESE program, my son was held back in 2nd grade and is now in 3rd he has ADHD and takes one pill before school each morning to help him focus but my question is will he be in the same class with the autistic children or is there more than one ESE class based on how gifted the child is and i ask this because he is a major follower and I wouldn't want him to copy the other children if he happens to be in a room with autistic kids he will think it's fun to copy them he has a 14 year old cousin whom he copies each time we visit, so does anyone know a lot about Vinelands ESE class /classes

Vineland is a fantastic school, period. The teachers absolutely go out of their way to make sure every child is getting the attention they deserve. I see a couple of reviews here that point otherwise and appear to be from the same disgruntled person. Don’t believe them, this school really is outstanding and the teachers and staff should be praised.

pre-k teacher .....Mrs. Turner is just beyond A+ My son Andrew has ASD and she and her assistant Dawn along with his therapists have done such a wonderful job with my son........ they have all set the stage for Andrew to excel in his future. I am above and beyond happy with all his goals that were met as my son was lost and confused before entering Vineland as he was full time with Therapy 45 mins away and once weekly in home. I would highly recommend this school and area to live in for any adults with young children. The school is just all around a fab one, my son is so happy to go to school and happy when he arrives home each day. THANKS VINELAND AND MRS TURNER / DAWN / STAFF

I had 2 boys go through this school and can tell you that it is an excellent learning environment. Both my kids were part of the full time gifted program starting in 4th grade and their teacher was exceptional. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

I had 2 children in this school. We moved to get away from this school. My son is gifted and mildly autistic. One of his teachers use to put him in a closet. They told me if I didn't medicate him for ADHD they were going to kick him out, even though his Dr. said he didn't have ADHD. When I told them he was to smart for the work they were giving him, which is why he was acting up, they told me he wasn't smart because of his behavior. I moved and my son is now in the gifted program and doing much better. I suggest you don't go to this school if you value your child's education!!!!!

My son and stepson both attended this school. I say attended because we moved just to get out of the school district. If your child is smart or different, then this is NOT the place to send them. Both of them were labeled with psychological issues, and I was politely told I needed to medicate my son for being hyper even though his Dr says he does not have ADHD. So they sent him home every chance they got, put him in ESE classes where he began hitting and crying. Still, I was relived because he stopped coming home with bruises...he said his teacher hurt him...which the school denied. Then, I met a middle school student that used to have her as a teacher and told me abusive horror stories of how she was treated! The school refuses to do lice checks. Has teachers who are so burned out and unhappy, my step son comes home stressed out from the teacher yelling at him. They have a wonderful front desk staff and a few wonderful teachers, but overall they have steadily sunk over the last 3 years and we are happy to be rid of this school, and so are our kids!

My boys attended Vineland for 3 years. If your children need extra help look elsewhere they won't get it here. One of my children was placed in a class where the standards were so far below grade level he played most of the time and the other was just passed along. The 2nd one would get 15 spelling words a week and even though h e would never get more than 2 or 3 correct the class would move on and leave him behind. My concerns were completely ignored. We have since moved and they both now attend Toledo Blade in North Port. The ESE teacher there is a god send. She is very experienced and no nonsense. She requires the children make a sincere effort perform as best they possibly can. She really understands that she is teaching them life skills and if they need to work harder to achieve she makes them believe they can do it. Vineland convinced my children they were not able or expected to achieve. I will probably have to have one of them repeat 2nd grade to make up for all the time lost at Vineland

My experience with Vineland has been poor overall. The office staff has been rude and very unproffessional. The principal and assistant principal intimidate the children and do not communicate well with parents at all.The teachers seem to be more interested in socializing with eachother then paying attention to the children in their class. Some of the teachers are very good and well educated to teach elementary, however some of the teachers just couldn't be bothered. The experience my family has had with Vineland has been very disappointing . This school does not seem to care about the students at all. They do not encourage parent involvement and would rather the parents be left in the dark about what goes on at this school. I would not reccomend this school to anyone. My children no longer attend and their new school is light years ahead of Vineland in every aspect.
