I was a student before in 2008-2016 which was 1st grade through 8th, since 4th I was tormented left from right. Teachers and principals often tolerate their behavior and in fact I was laughed at before by one of them. Gym wasn't so great from my experience, were always fights about who's losing or going to be in a "good people team" which was quite frustrating to deal with cause of the lack of teach students about sportsmanship. Kept having substitute teachers every day due to them not returning at all to deal with the kids.

Having a terrible time with teachers and other students was bad enough, vice principal didn't even took action when I wrote a letter basically about how felt the entire time but in that letter I wrote was a big huge concern for myself and instead gave it to the parents as a way of not acting doing anything that caused it in the first place. Was also differently for them to respond when I decided to change my character to fit in with the "cool kids" before but never about what going on with the kid before.

Would I recommend this school after I walked out of the school in 2016? no. I absolutely wouldn't, and it might be different with the teachers and principals I know of not being there anymore but I guarantee that if I were to visit again, it would be a lot worse that it was before. So like I said about the recommendation, never

I wouldn’t recommend this school to no families.The secretary there is rude and unprofessional, the assistant principal is rude and likes to over talk the parents, I believe most of the staff there is for a pay check smh.

Very Poor the staff they pick on certain student. Instead of encouraging them they have suspended them for 5 or more days without calling the parents or setting up a meeting.

The teachers & staff have been helpful & supportive. My son has special needs for his hearing & everyone has been working well together to ensure that he has the services he needs. My older son is also receiving a stellar education. The few problems that I encountered were normal issues with schools & quickly remedied.

My son went to this school. The principal and I had a disagreement and I took him out.. Grown adults sat around trying to bully my child at a meeting i had arranged. . They do hire teachers, but none of them knows how to deal wirh children... they' re strictly there to get a pay check.. nevermind if your child learns anything or respect cause its not displayed through the teachers for them to learm it.

I attended Trotwood Prepatory Fitness Academy from 6th-8th grade in 2010-2011 school year i graduated.This is the worst school i have ever been to the staff are nice and friendly if you are with the parents.But if your are in the instructional day they are mean pathic BULLIES. The typical school day is like a day at the zoo.DO NOT SEND ANY RELATIVES TO THIS SCHOOL IF YOU LOVE THEM. If they don't like your child they will make your child day miserble trust me.

FINISHING 2011 REvIEW: The new teachers look to be 21, yes, they just finished school and can handle the AVERAGE student. Should your child/childs class have a student with special needs, they are left behind...Recess and lunch, the time for the kids to relax, and talk with friends (seeing that they get on the bus @ 7am because they dont have their own busses, and dont get home til 5pm when they live in Trotwood) some grades dont get recess and they are not allowed to talk at lunch. Seems as if they want everything to be about the teachers and not about the kids. Out of 4 kids, 2 have been on field trips, and when they do have them parents (without showing license or insurance) drive them, "no tution" 15.00 per quarter, per kid and you will spend 80.00 on supplies and the uniforms have to be bought online from Florida (no trying on) and they are expensive. But make sure you have them or your child will be punished. They will send your child to I.S.S for missing uniform pieces. The uniforms are not to deflect conflict they are so their count stays up so they can recieve the money . And "testing" schools recieve extra money for kids with I.E.P's (that are not followed)
