This disorder impacts my social communication and interaction. I'm still surprised that none of the "trained" officials didn't acknowledge my disability, except the counselor, who just dismissed me. In this review, I'll be reviewing my 5th and 6th grade teachers. The 5th grade teachers were one of the worst teachers I met. Always sassy all the time, and loud. That combined with my disorder made it one of the worst. But that's nothing compared to the 6th grade teachers. I had Ms. Felix as my 6th grade teacher. She acts like that one parent, she always gives to me (as in she gives food for my diet), but she never actually cared for me. I'm sure she only gives her snacks because if she didn't, she'd she responsible for my starvation, not because of the lie she tells me, like "I only gave you these because I love you." Come on, you don't actually mean that. She also tried to force me into depression, saying things like "You are not a Bitely Bear." or embarrassing me in front of the class. Her words and actions still impact me to this day, and I will never forget them. Also, she gives me too much to work on, where I thought of suicide many times, but she says she doesnt want me to die. The counselor was the worst counselor in the world. She knows that I have autism, but she didn't actually try to make me calm. She's part of the reason I thought of suicide multiple times. Her actions are like mopping the floor when the bathtub is overflowing. She doesn't try to support me, she just sends me to a mental hospital to try to "fix" me. As you might have expected, that didn't work. It never worked. My experience at this school heavily impacted my emotional, sociological, and psychological health. I've been less comfortable to talk to counselors after, and I've isolated myself from even more people. I wish I stayed at home, or a school that really understood my disorder. For Parents: Don't send your kids to this school if you don't want your kids to be impacted emotionally and psychologically. Their mascot is an oxymoron, the bear is happy, while the students are not. When I grow up, I will never send my kids here ever.

If you can avoid this school I'd recommend you do! They obviously don't know what's going on in…read moretheir own premises. Child safety and concern is by far what they are heading towards. If the children could speak up there would be much more news on this school than we realize!!! I myself am I victim of their don't ask don't tell policy. I even asked my parents when I was much older if they remember an incident I had back in fourth grade and they said they were never notified of the situation. I had the principle, a THERAPIST, and my teacher present all without my parents. They were never notified. This school has a lot of teacher bullying even now. I have a little cousin whose seen other students get humiliated in front of the class. Being called names and making it pretty clear that that child is a failure in front of all their classmates. They even had incidents where the teacher will withhold the students from going to the bathroom and most students would pee their pants in the classroom. How can these teachers be so unsympathetic, with no humanity, and still say they are all about the students? I'm pretty sure they don't even do background checks on these people they are hiring.

I had never came here for education, so I don't know anything about that…read more But I do come here almost weekly during the weekend to ball kids up. There is this manhole on the fence that allows people to go into the school, so that's pretty cool. The lights near the benches never close, so we could just you know order some pizza or some shit and eat over there when its too dark or your friends are too fat to walk. They have cool automatic lights on the grass that turn on when you don't need em and when you actually do need em they turn off, so that's pretty cool. Uhh its a pretty big place so if you wanna play hide 'n go seek then you could get lost in this joint. But that's why its fun, cause when you can't find someone you just quit and sit at the benches so they could hide for dayz. There's also market carts that you can take inside the school and push your friends with. This place is so chill that one day we all assembled here to play basketball and ended up playing charades and no basketball at all, so the ball boy had to walk back home and never came back again. Overall, you could do anything you want here during the weekends so thats pretty cool. Just don't come around the bench area cause thats like our home turf so, if you don't wanna get blasted, you know what to do.

I use to help him with the outside platform for our Friday assemblies. I remember he even took a group of us to a basketball game and he paid for everything. Back then they gave the boys swats for misbehaving. He had a huge wooden paddle hanging on the wall behind his desk. It was almost like a trophy. When he died it was a sad time for the school. They even had a small plaque placed at southeast end of the park. It was a vey nice ceremony with students and city officials. That's when they officially changed the school's name to Jack Macy Elementary. They later shortened the name for some reason to Macy Elementary. I recently took my family to the school, so they could see where I attended school. To my surprise the old gate kickball backstop was still there in the field. What really supposed me was the fact that the plaque honoring the Mr Macy had been destroyed and grass was covering where it was. It was obvious the school had not taken any action to replace it, as if the principal was lost in time. I hope the current principal sees this post and looks into it and replaces it. The history of the school should stay alive and not lost with time.

Do not bring your kids here. Please read!…read more When I went there, all I saw was a perfect example of a money-hungry school that seemed to prioritize its 50+ student jv team and varsity football program over its students in other different programs. It felt like the people who received the most benefits and special treatment were those related to teachers, counselors, or other staff members. Go Bulldogs, I guess. The school seemed more concerned with its public image than with the well-being of its own students. I've seen former students from other graduating classes make similar comments, so my experience doesn't appear to be unique. Maybe life isn't fair, and maybe I was just unlucky enough to attend during the same years as several counselors' and teachers' children. One student even had both of his parents as teachers at different points during his time there. There were multiple students with parents and staff,even one counselor and teacher both had two children attending the school. Looking back, it felt like there was one set of rules and opportunities for students connected to staff and another for everyone else.
