Wonderful! I never thought I would write this review for Jennie Reed but I'm truly impressed with what I've seen and experienced thus far.

Terrible. When exercising my legal right to observe classroom materials and classroom conduct I was asked multiple times, not to enter the classroom that my son was attending because the teacher was uncomfortable with parents viewing their children in the classroom. When my child arrived at this school he was at second grade standard and after being taught and tested he is scoring low on their testing and when wanting to see why they are suggesting my son needs special education services when he does not need them. He is transitioning from homeschool to a public school environment for the first time and has never been exposed to children with behaviors like I have witnessed at this school!

We hated this school. My son attended for kindergarten and is was a hellacious 9 months. I had staff yell at me, and my son. They locked him in a room when he "acted up". When he had a severe allergic reaction, they waited 30 minuted to call me while his symptoms got worse, and then didn't want to call an ambulance because it would be an inconvenience. I would highly recommend trying to find a different school for your student unless they are perfectly behaved ALL the time, and you have the time to spend with them daily to actually teach them something. I, fortunately, did have that time, and the school year was still horrible for us.

If you can get a waiver- waiver out of this school!!!! Our experience with this school has been a nightmare and a headache! They are under staffed and those whom they do have don't seem to be invested in our childrens future at all. They are rude, demeaning and inappropriate people to have your children around. We're counting down the days until this school year is over. Wouldn't recommend boarding my dog here let alone expecting them to give my children a decent education.
