I've tried to avoid typing this for a long time. Kindergarten was wonderful! My son learned so much…read moreand gained so much confidence. First grade was a nightmare. My sons teachers mother passed away at the beginning of the year and he had a bunch of substitutes the rest of the year. Second grade we had a serious problem with bullying. Even came to the school go deal with it. Mrs Brandt basically called me a liar. My son had taken his robot for show and tell and it was destroyed by some of his classmates. The teacher never even told me about it. I think it was 2 days later when he snuck the toy out of the classroom and told me about it. Following that incident his teacher threw away all of his belongings and the actual principal Mrs van tress helped us with that. He ended up getting a new teacher for the last 7 weeks of school. Mrs galatti. She was an angel. Too bad it was only 7 weeks. Third grade was amazing. Absolutely amazing! We had Mrs. Sherbondy. She was just so amazing. She really helped him grow and blossom. She stayed on top of his education and we talked weekly. I wish they could clone her. And on to 4th grade... we were told that he was getting the best teacher in the school. That's a joke. And she's lucky I'm not filing a lawsuit. Mrs. Hensley. At first glance she seems wonderful. Really nice lady. Then there's the classroom. No desks. But there were bean bags, video game chairs and one flow height table. For 28 kids. No desks. So needless to say he was reallllly distracted. Also the same bully from 2nd grade sat directly next to him. So that was fun. So I went in weekly. Spent countless hours of tutoring outside of school not to mention money... and then we have our parent teacher conference. This woman literally asked me to put my son back in the 3rd grade. 3 months into the year she wants to move him. Then she tells me I need to look into getting him medicated. This woman is not a doctor. She's a teacher. He had been struggling and we were getting him help for that, but she literally suggested meds. Said he probably has add and that he should be on something. And that she has seen it enough to know. Cool. Leave that to a DOCTOR! Also, he had good grades on 3rd grade. So why would I need to put him back in 3rd grade? So I tell her I'm thinking of moving him to a charter school. And then she tells me he should go to her friend Primms school. I'm not really sure how I kept my cook through all of this. But I managed. My husband and I left and immediately enrolled him in Honors Academy of Literature. Which is in Reno. Clear across town. We moved to this neighborhood specifically for Van Gorder. I'm just so bummed. On a bright side we love his new school. He now has all A's and he's happy. They actually enforce their no bullying policy there. I wish i could have gone to his office about things going on, but after everything that has happened I just decided it wasn't worth it. Sorry for the long review. I'm just hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else. I'm giving 2 stars only because of his 3rd grade teacher.

So far I have liked all the teachers (Thompson, Gianotti, Benecke, Tremayne, and N. Smith). They communicate well via E-mail and phone. There is an ample amount of homework (enough to be beneficial, but not overwhelming). The PTA has family movie nights that our family enjoys. The movie admission is free and snacks are available for purchase. The school nurse and cafeteria staff are well educated in the area of food allergies, which I appreciate.

The focus is not just academic, but socially and emotionally as well. What sets this center apart is the community. It truly feels like a family.

From a senior who has been here since the lockdown, don't send your kid to this school. Sure, I…read morehave had wonderful teachers here, but it honestly sucks. If you complain to the principal over serious issues, he doesn't care, he doesn't even respond to you. There was a code yellow like last year and it should've been a code red cause people brought weapons on property and they wanted to cover it up. Other students and myself are the only reason parents got a call the NEXT day about it. There's too many details to share here. Even today I am terrified when the announcements sound comes over the speakers if it is at a random time. Many people at our school are aware of the stoners and vapers and they don't do anything about it. It's so bad that you can't go into certain bathrooms because those are the 'smoke spots'. As I did mention, I have had some wonderful teachers, so it just sucks that I have to complain about the teachers here as well. For this one teacher, in context (which doesn't make it much better) we talked about humanistic psychology and a criticism of it is that they are over accepting. Basically the teacher stated that "so if you ___ 4 year olds." Yeah, we all looked at each other disgusted like "Did he really say that? That's disgusting." That same teacher has also made very rude and snarky remarks to students. A very very controlling person. Some days I don't wanna go to school because I'm scared he'll make remarks about me and humiliate me in front of the class, he's already done it to me. After lunch, I think based on my experience, the upstairs bathrooms are a hit or miss because they are either locked all class period during 3rd period or open after 20 minutes. So if you really need to use it, Aunt Flo has arrived, or whatever, you're screwed until the end of the day if you're lucky enough to get to a bathroom. Honestly, if you want better education for your kids: go somewhere else. Maybe even go to Finland. Overall, can't wait to graduate because this has been a rollercoaster if the rollercoaster was barely on the track, had no seatbelts, and was on fire. Edit: Another thing, they just told us a week ago that we could be staying till 4:30pm for the exam, which would be ok, IF they told us like a month ago. So now the teacher basically said to just take that day off from work, for students who work, when it is probably too late to say anything. But the problem is, I have an off campus that day (which I worked s hard to get) and the purpose for that off campus is to help my dad because of medical issues. They literally told me I can't do anything about it so now I have to figure out 1. How to get home 2. Where to put my stuff 3. How my dad will get the help he needs.
