My daughter was here from 2020 until 2024. She is an IEP student diagnosed with autism. Her last IEP stated complete transparency and communication with parent's. This never happend. For over a year she was dealing with gender dysphoria and it was not brought to my attention even though her counselor and case manager were aware. When I found out the administration dismissed it saying it was a faze and alot of the kids dealt with it. That middle school is a pit stop and that she would feel better in highschool. They illegally kept a mentle issue from me. The physiological damage to my child from this school continues. Now I will have to homeschool my youngest child through these precious years. No way would I let another one of my children attend here.
