She started off in kindergarten with Ms. Carey, and she couldn't possibly have had a more pleasant and nurturing experience. It was the perfect introduction to her grade school experience, and set the tone for 5 more years of excellent education. I'm not going to name all of her teachers, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I can tell you without a doubt that each and every one of them has the credentials and the desire to provide an outstanding experience for their students. Our son is actually starting out in 4th grade tomorrow, and he started in Ms. Carey's kindergarten class as well. He is just as happy, excited, and well adjusted as our daughter is. They've both made lots of quality friends, and we've developed some amazing long term friendships with many families from Roosevelt. We've also had some mishaps, some big disappointments, but I think that's to be expected. We've just moved on and not dwelt on the bad experiences. I have noticed that most of the negative experiences I've seen, have been exacerbated by other parents or other kids who stirred up unnecessary drama or gossip, rather than looking at the big picture and trying to resolve issues quickly and quietly, like adults. And for sure, there are random incidents of inconsiderate behavior, by kids and parents, but overall it's very rare, and easy to resolve. They do a great job of teaching the kids respect, and compassion, in my opinion. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the public school experience my kids have gotten at Roosevelt. And I'm pretty sure a huge majority of the other parents would agree with me. It bothers me that only the ones with gripes to voice, write reviews. I'm trying to counter that here. Roosevelt definitely deserves more than a 3-star overall rating!

My child was in the world language program 2 1/2 years mandarin and 1/2-year Spanish. They were supposed to give us the option to choose they did not. The mandarin program was not good. My child had three mandarin teacher and 2 of the teachers appeared to not want the kids to learn the language. My child advised me that the Spanish teacher did not assign work only told them to play games during class therefore the half year was a waste of time.

Inside the Spectrum Program: What They Don't Want You to Know…read more To the parents of New Roads School, I'm writing this because no one else will. Not the smiling admissions staff. Not the polished emails. Not the teachers who know something's wrong but look the other way. This isn't easy to say--but it needs to be said. Because what's happening in the Spectrum program is not care. It's not support. It's quiet, systematic harm dressed up as help. And it broke me in ways I'm still trying to undo. In middle school, I was diagnosed with autism. When I got into New Roads, I was placed in Spectrum. My family was told it was a safe space--a nurturing environment tailored for students like me. I believed them. I wanted to believe them. But not long after I started, I was re-evaluated. Turns out, I wasn't autistic after all. But that didn't matter. By then, I was already locked in--trapped under Elisa Schultz's watch. Once you're in, Spectrum doesn't let go. You don't "exit" the program--you disappear into it. It wraps itself around your life and convinces you that you need it, even when all it's doing is making you smaller. At first, I tried to play along. I was named grade-level ambassador. I met with new families. I made speeches. I wanted to believe I was helping build something good. But eventually, I did what Elisa can't stand--I told the truth. I started asking questions. I stood up for students who felt powerless. I spoke too loudly, too clearly. So they got rid of me. I was replaced quietly, like I'd become an inconvenience. But the worst moment came later--when a classmate I cared about came to me in tears. Elisa had called her a disgusting, sexist name--something that would get anyone else fired. We made the decision to speak out. And the moment we started talking, five staff members closed in on us. Not figuratively. They surrounded us. Physically. Like security guards. They told her it never happened. Over and over, until her hands were shaking and she started questioning her own memory. I stood there watching someone I admired unravel in real time. And I knew: this wasn't a "program." This was something darker. During COVID, I had a bad allergy flare-up. I stepped out of class to blow my nose in the hallway because I didn't want to disturb anyone. The Tesla classroom was right next to the bathroom. I wasn't sneaking off. I wasn't doing anything wrong. Elisa exploded. She screamed at me in front of everyone. Berated me for not blowing my nose in front of the class. As if I had broken some sacred, unspoken rule. I was embarrassed. I was sick. I was trying to handle my body and my space with some dignity--and she crushed that in one moment. No kindness. No understanding. Just public shame. What kind of "support program" does that? Spectrum charges over $13,000 a year on top of tuition. That money doesn't go toward student wellbeing. It goes toward building a system that punishes independence and feeds on fear. They don't care if you were misdiagnosed. They don't care if it's hurting you. They care about keeping your family's money. And your silence. There are others like me. I've spoken to six students--at least--who had stories like mine. Some gave me permission to speak. Most are too scared. That should tell you everything. Parents, you're being sold a lie. And it's packaged beautifully--with buzzwords, learning plans, and emotional jargon. But behind the curtain is something toxic. Something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Ask the questions they don't want you to ask. And when they try to talk around it, listen to what they're avoiding. This program nearly broke me. I'm writing this because I refuse to let it keep breaking people in silence. - A former Spectrum student who refuses to stay quiet
