Reposted my review 08/03/20
I had my son there for far too long, and I should've pulled him from the school when it first started after the first incident. On the first day of school, they had my son in the wrong class and marked him absent for attendance. They didn't call me to let me know that he was marked absent, and while he was at recess, one of the teachers yanked him up off of the ground by his arm. My son loved the school up until this point. I reported it to the head of school, and her response is, " she might be kind of abrasive, but she moves kids...." I am a teacher also, and I know that we do not put our hands on anyone's child. They had 33 kids in one class, and I spoke to other parents, and their kids were not learning anything either, which more parents have decided to withdraw their children. There were too many kids in one class; even with two teachers, it's more behavior management. I have pulled my son from school since October 1, and he has accelerated and will starting third grade before the end of the school year. Please be mindful and research the school that you put your child into, research teachers to see if they have appropriate degrees and certifications with the Colorado Department of education before deciding on putting your child at any school, including principals, etc.
To add on, my son was (WIDA) tested, and they advised me that he was a NEP1, which means a student who is unable to speak/read English. They also informed me, my son was on kindergarten level based on a test they gave him. My son tested on iReady for Math and Reading above the second-grade level at his new school on October 7, 2019. All of the situations are reasons I advised parents to question credentials.
After all, this happened, I received a notice from the Preschool that I would no longer receive a 50% tuition discount on my daughter's tuition. I was told at the beginning of the school year, along with a printed tuition agreement that I would only have to pay 50% tuition for my 4-year-old since I am a Teacher in the same building. On Friday, October 11, 2019. I was advised that I will no longer be receiving the tuition discount which sounds like retaliation from the school towards my family. I was told that starting November 1st we'd have to pay full price. Integrity is something that is severely lacking at this point.
On November 1st, I was asked to take my review down by my HR department. I was told since Colorado Early College and Axis were in the same building, if I didn't remove my review from google then my position is "at-will". They basically advised me, either I take my review down on what happened while I worked there or I lose my job. Well, today I decided this review needed to be seen so people can know where their kids are attending school. Please be careful where you put your kids for school. read more
