My daughter's experience at Founders Classical Academy School has been deeply distressing, marked by discrimination, neglect, and bullying. Despite her disability, the administration and teachers showed indifference to her struggles, leading to multiple panic attacks. The collaboration between teachers and administrators reached an alarming level as they misrepresented crucial aspects of my daughter's experiences. Not only did they violate her Individualized Education Program (IEP), but they also contributed to her current diagnosis of anxiety.
Despite repeated attempts to collaborate with the school, our concerns were met with indifference and dismissal. The school failed to support my daughter's unique needs, impacting both her mental health and education. Founders School does not prioritize providing a free and appropriate education (FAPE) to students with disabilities. Furthermore, the denial of parental rights to observe our children in the school environment hindered our active participation in their education.
In conclusion, Founders Classical Academy Schertz School has proven to be a disheartening and distressing environment for students with disabilities, with undeniable evidence of discrimination, neglect, and deceit. Parents considering this school should be aware of the potential harm to their children's well-being, as Founders School seems to operate in isolation, disregarding the rights and needs of both students and parents.

My daughter just completed 3rd grade. Homework isn't as much of an issue in the younger grades. The middle schoolers in our carpool always seemed to have a moderate amount of homework.

I don't know. I have a friend whose son received help and had a great experience but we haven't dealt with it personally.

Bullying happens everywhere, but it seems to be less tolerated here than other places we've been.
