My son was at a private Christian school with high academic and behavioral standards from the age of 4 to 10 when he transferred to Lupin Hill. He is a high energy boy and our Christian school did not recognize ADHD as an official diagnosis, it was extremely strict and he had a hard time. We thought that since public schools takes kids with different mental health diagnoses, he would thrive there. Boy, we were wrong. Honestly, he is back in a less strict private school setting, thriving while looking back at Lupin Hill as the worst experience of his life. Now he is in a supportive environment and is getting awards at a new school, is a successful athlete in his flag football school team, and has not had a behavioral issue at all this year. Lupin's teachers, counselor, and their principal with PhD have done nothing to help him and everything to make sure he fails. The 5th grade teacher constantly yelled at the class, one time to the point where the principal made her apologist to the children. She literally called the kids COWARDS for gravitating towards their friends during group projects. That's what kids do! They naturally want to work with their friends! The teacher also reprimanded the children for touching other children but grabbed and pushed kids from one place to another all the time. And the counselor is her side kick. The teacher didn't think my son has ADHD, which is understandable because he is borderline and his symptoms are mild, but made his anxiety far worse with her yelling. He was literally in tears not wanting to go to school for the entire second semester. Had great anxiety every Monday and still recalls that teacher as a nightmare experience. Other kids from the school that attend the same jiu jitsu classes as my kids know that teacher's reputation of being a bully, yet she is still there. Their principal with PhD tries to act all sweet but compensates for her lack of knowledge by flipping the "mean switch" on. She kept telling us she knows kids with ADHD and suggested that my son has another underlying mental health issue worse than that because he won't admit his faults. I don't have a PhD and haven't worked with children, but just listening to information on ADHD tells me that classic signs of ADHD is to see yelling and accusations as a sign of attach and the brain tries to do anything it can to justify and defend itself. You don't need a PhD to know that, just some minor reading on the subject. The academics were a joke as well, I volunteered in class and some kids can barely read. Given my son's private school background, his reading was one of the best there. Their grading system is a joke. We feel like we wasted a year! Glad now we found such a great support system at West Valley Christian School! read more
