The middle school is not managed well. There's not a lot of kids in the middle school there, which is good education wise but bad in regards to social interactions. All the school bullies do is pick on the same kids over and over again. It's too small of a group of kids and there's too much in-fighting. After being picked on for countless things over the school year now my child is being picked on because she has an IEP. We've had repeated bullying incidents without being informed of any resolution. I've actually at the end of the school day had to go in to the school and try and track down vice principals and other leadership to get answers on what's going on with certain issues. I really don't believe it's the teachers. They've been pretty great education wise. The teachers are the only reason this school review didn't get 0 stars. It's the administration/charter itself and how they deal with bullying. During the most recent bullying incident My daughter couldn't get any help and end up calling my husband. Below is the email I sent to school. Good Afternoon, OK so I just heard from (my daughter) and my husband about this. This kid (?!?$@) is doing the following things according to this text I got from my husband... (My daughter) called me a little bit ago I guess (?!?$@) threw a pencil or a pen right at her face and called her a special-needs brat. .... (my daughter) went to a teacher who said that she couldn't really do anything about the name calling. I don't know if the pen or pencil incident had happened at this time or not but this kid was following My daughter and repeating this awful comment over and over again to the point where (my daughter) called my husband for help, on her cellphone, which is when the following text happened... Sounds like nothing really got done. (My daughter) called me and he was close to the phone I could hear him yelling in the background at (my daughter) so I told her to tell him that I'm calling the school and we're gonna call his parents :-) ... This is ridiculous. I am so tired of all this bullying and the fact that nothing ever seems to get done. It's ridiculous that my husband had to step in over the cell phone and say something to this kid. I never hear about any resolution with the offending child or any consequences. It would be least nice to know in these cases that at the very least the parents have been talked too. I think by this point, especially when you guys have admitted to mistakes happening in regards to your follow up with bullying, that you could go back to the chalkboard on how you deal with it. Obviously what your doing is not working. There is no reason why after the first incident of such things you shouldn't have parents pulled into meetings to have some responsibility/follow up. Also what is the point of in school suspension for half a day? Make the kid serve at home suspension. That would force parents to work more at getting these issues resolved. Because at that point it's not just affecting the child is affecting the whole family. Let the offending family deal with the Consequences not the victim. This bullying issue, and how out-of-control it's been, is directly the reason why we will NOT be returning to Aspen Academy next year.

Then in 2022 we were blessed with our "bonus" baby. With a degree of reluctance, we opted to enroll her in the same daycare our three oldest children attended. This decision came with a touch of hesitation, considering the significant changes that have taken place at the small, intimate center we once knew and adored. That center did not seem to know the direction it wanted to take and there was some toxicity with one of the owners. (Never once was I concerned about the care she received in the rooms by the staff.) During the year she was there, the boundaries with one of the owners felt chaotic and unpredictable. It was time to cut ties with a center we had been at over 10 years and began looking for a new daycare for our daughter to attend. We were fortunate that Goddard-Lakeville had availability for our daughter to attend. The very first thing we noticed was the level of safety/security at the center. There is no entering the building unless you are welcomed in by a staff member. I have seen grandparents needing to show their ID's prior to being allowed in the building. In today's day, the level of security is incredibly comforting. The second most prominent feature is the teachers' level of involvement. Right from the tour, we observed how the teachers were fully engaged with the children, not lingering on the sidelines with their phones or engaged in conversations amongst themselves. Thirdly, the communication is outstanding. There's no ambiguity regarding the center's operations - it's clear, concise, and consistent. The policies are fair- they do not change based on the most recent parent's complaint. The extent of our daughter's learning journey is astounding. We're immensely thankful for the age-appropriate curriculum. As advocates of education and evidence-based approaches, Goddard truly stands out as exceptional! Finally, the teachers are fantastic! They genuinely invest in the well-being of the children under their guidance. They understand my daughter as a unique individual and cater to her specific needs. Based on our experience with two prominent daycares in the Lakeville area, I wholeheartedly endorse Goddard-Lakeville. The owners cultivate a community that balances professionalism and healthy boundaries while providing a nurturing environment for children to flourish. The teachers are top notch! Any family that decides to invest in the care at Goddard-Lakeville, will not be disappointed!

I attended Orchard Lake Elementary during 4th and 5th grade as part of the Impact Academy and…read moreSpecial Education programs. My experience at this school was horrible, unsafe, and deeply damaging. I am writing this review not out of anger, but because no other student should have to go through what I did. My experience started poorly even before the school year began. During the summer before 4th grade, I was manipulated into sending threats to another student. Once school started, this student and her friends would chase and attack me regularly. Despite this, the school did nothing--until I told the principal that I wanted to hurt myself and the other student. This was just days before my birthday. Only then was I taken seriously and hospitalized for five and a half days, where I received an evaluation and was referred to therapy. After returning to school, I was too anxious to go back to my regular classroom. The number of students overwhelmed me. I spent more time in Special Education with Linda Maher, someone I had worked with before. During this time, I experienced frequent meltdowns, not knowing at the time that I had autism. Instead of being supported or taught coping strategies, I was simply sent home and told to return the next day if my meltdowns were severe. That was the only solution. Eventually, after refusing to enter my classroom for two months, I was placed in a half-day therapy program. I had to leave that after three weeks because of the overwhelming stress. I spent four months avoiding my classroom entirely. When I finally built up the courage to return, I finished the rest of 4th grade without any major incidents--but nothing had changed. The damage was already done. At the start of 5th grade, things seemed stable. I didn't have any close friends, but at least things were quiet--until January. I became the target of one student in particular, who picked on me constantly. Another student on my bus also harassed me until I finally snapped. I punched him and yelled at him after weeks of constant provocation. A few days later, on a field trip, I brought my phone without knowing it wasn't allowed. My teacher noticed and threatened to take it away. The girl who'd been picking on me was sitting nearby and started giving me dirty looks. I felt so unsafe that I nearly hit her but stopped myself. After that, she announced to the entire bus everything I had done wrong, including past incidents. My teacher said nothing to defend me. I broke down--crying, hyperventilating, and shaking uncontrollably. The bullying continued until one day, I ran away from school for the first time. That morning, all I wanted to do was draw during reading time, something that brings me peace. I used my school device to find references, but my teacher took it away and told me I needed to read instead. In that moment, it felt like the only thing I cared about was being taken away from me. I said I wanted to hurt myself, grabbed a pencil, and ran out of the classroom. I locked myself in a bathroom stall and had a severe panic attack--sobbing, gasping, and shaking. After 8 minutes, I left the bathroom and walked right out of the building, completely unnoticed. I wandered the parking lot and then ran toward the woods nearby before teachers finally found me. I was sent home. I didn't return for a week. Then, it happened again. The day before, I had changed my lunch option, and the lunch supervisor reported it. My teacher brought it up to the whole class, and a student pointed at me. Everyone stared at me, but no one seemed to notice how anxious I was. I asked to use the bathroom, took my phone, and sat in a stall texting someone that I felt like running. I eventually did. I ran out of the school, again. This time I made it almost to a nearby lake before being stopped and brought back. My mom picked me up. I stayed home another week. After that, my school days were shortened significantly. They claimed this would help me "adjust." I spent about two weeks attending school part-time. Then, after another low point where I felt deeply hopeless and unmotivated, I was advised by my therapist to go to the hospital again. I did, and after a short evaluation, I was referred to PrairieCare, a partial hospitalization program. At PrairieCare, I was officially diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Medium-Functioning Autism--all things the school had missed entirely for years. I never returned to Orchard Lake after starting the program. Just the thought of going back still gives me intense anxiety and makes me physically shake. The school never protected me. They never supported my mental health. They never noticed the signs until it was too late. What makes this worse is how preventable it was. I cried out for help so many times--and no one truly listened.
