I hate this school! I went there from 4th to 6th grade and I hated every second of it. For example…read moremy 4th grade teacher mrs vanauken was a very rude teacher, she forced my parents to get me a tutor (which was kind of helpful) but one day she gave me some homework that the tutor couldn't even figure out so I didn't do it that night so Long story short she basically got upset and yelled at me for not knowing how to do it (my parents didn't know how do to it either). 5th grade was cool I loved my teacher and it was a better year, but 6th grade was the worst! My Teachers name was Mr. Burbank and he was a straight up jerk. For example one day I had to work on an essay that I had, but I needed help on but The class was reading books and he was doing absolutely nothing so I asked him for help and he said no because I'm working with my class right now (I was in his class too!) so I just brush it off but I was really mad. Then a few weeks later we had to work on something that had to do with the A moral of a story And the moral was pleasure bought With pain hurts and I needed his help so I asked him for help and he told me to make an example so I used an example of a pet like the pleasure is having the pet the pain is the pet dying but he wanted to be a little more graphic and he use drugs for the example so he said it's like smoking marijuana or getting a shot of heroin it makes you feel good but the pain in the future is going to Sores with pus losing out of your face or your kids hating you or you stealing things to get money for crack And that made me so uncomfortable so I left that school but now I'm at a new school and I'm in eighth grade doing good and I never saw him or Mrs vanauken ever again So I would recommend going to that school.

I enrolled my severely autistic, nonverbal son into this school worried about how he'd be treated,…read moreand unfortunately, my worst fears came true. For years, we endured an unsafe and hostile environment, not just for him, but for me as a parent advocating for his rights. On my son's very first day, I witnessed a special needs student punch another, and instead of stepping in to de-escalate, the teacher simply placed the child back in line right next to the student he hit. It was a red flag, especially for a school with vulnerable children who may not be able to speak up. My son is one of them. Despite repeated requests and documented concerns including eloping from class, self-injurious behavior like him banging his head on the floor and walls or him smashing his toes against the ground until they bleed as well as an inability to understand dangers like traffic, bodies of water etc. the school denied him a one-on-one aide. This was a direct violation of his right to FAPE. The school even told me that a 1:1 wouldn't even help my special needs child.. Something no special needs parent who understands the concept and benefits of their child having a one on one paraprofessional during school hours would accept. After raising these concerns over many occasions I began experiencing retaliation. Staff began targeting me including glaring at me in in a hateful manner during IEP meetings, forcing me to resort to IEP meetings over the phone out of discomfort of staff intentionally trying to intimidate me, pulling up beside me in their car making inappropriate gestures to me in front of my children, refusing to allow me on school campus at pick up time out of spite while allowing others in and gossiping about me to other staff right in front of my face. When I confronted them or reported the behavior to the principal, nothing changed. The same staff remain employed there to this day despite multiple reports being made involving the same employees. Also, in kindergarten, my child with special needs who is also non-verbal began coming home with frequent unexplained bruises that would at times cover his entire body. His whole demeanor was changing. I documented all the bruising as well as his new behaviors. When I came to them with my concerns, the school responded by calling CPS on me rather than investigating what was happening on their watch. In 2023 a teachers aide witnessed on multiple occasions my son's (at the time) teacher Tyler Lee, putting his hands on the special needs children as well as being emotionally and verbally abusive towards them. The teachers aide felt it was necessary to inform a parent of one of the children affected by the teachers actions regardless of "school policy". When the cops were called the school said that they would "handle it internally". The teacher aid who told on the abusive teacher ended up having to leave the school and the teacher who was abusing the children was never arrested. The parents of children in that classroom were never properly informed of the abuse and was given a letter saying that the kids will be getting a new teacher. We only learned of the athis through the News Channel 7 article that can still be found on Google search (Former staff member says they witnessed abuse at Meadow Lane Elementary). I hope others read this and think twice before sending their special needs child to Meadow Lane.

I was so hopeful for this school because they seemed to cultivate a safe learning environment for children that are neuro divergent but this couldn't be further from the truth. My child's friend had attended a previous year and was withheld from recess as a punishment which is illegal, and my child told me they were withheld from PE and was given a failing grade for that class which seems pretty unfair. They did not work WITH me on my child's behavior issues, but instead just sent them away. I do everything I can at home for my child's issues, I cut out food dyes, have a very structured daily routine and I am consistent with consequences. They treated me like I was a bad parent and that I failed my child when in reality it seems that they failed us. They asked my child to leave (unofficial expulsion) because they had pushed another kid down for cutting in line which wasn't okay, but instead of giving them a behavioral plan, they just gave up on them. My child also told me that their teacher had often screamed "shut up" at the kids to silence them. Personally, I've had many teacher who were able to silence a class without even saying a word. Screaming "shut up" at kids is abusive and we don't even do that in our home. The teacher my child had often times compared students to her grown son which comes across as very in appropriate because you cannot compare children, they are all different and it can lead to really unhealthy standards and expectations. They refused to release my child's records to me despite a formal letter asking them to do so, which is illegal, and they will not give me their 504 plan so I have to start a new one for my child. This school is a facade and presents itself like it's so loving, nurturing and sweet but the teachers are verbally abusive and extremely biased and foster conflict among the children by showing obvious favoritism. I would not recommend this school to anyone who cares about their child's mental wellbeing. I am reporting this school to the California board of education for investigation. They need to be held accountable for their shady actions and negligent administration. Side note: all schools in California received a stipend to help provide food to low income families when food stamps were shut down for almost 2 months. Almost all the other schools in the district that I heard of loaded up each family with a trunk full of groceries, Monarch did not. They kept their stipend to themselves. Incredibly greedy if you ask me.

I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Montessori. I had a difficult time initially understanding how the system would work. Without structured lessons, how can your child earn the necessities like reading and numbers? It turns out that by allowing my son to spend as long as HE wants on a given activity he has flourished and gone so much farther than I'd ever imagined a child his age could in the subjects that most interest him. He's working with numbers in the 10,000s and can complete geography puzzles that would have me stumped. He spent months sewing yarn on square canvases to create a box, a little bit each day. I'm astonished by the focus and dedication a child under 6 can have to a project when allowed to work on what they choose, instead of at the teacher's behest. It's been a truly eye-opening experience about education. We are definitely Montessori converts and our 2 year old will be joining in the Fall. All the teachers and staff members are kind and attentive with many years of Montessori experience. They've encouraged my son to learn while guiding him through the lessons at his pace. He's excited to show me his work and takes pride in his accomplishments. It's been an awesome experience.
