My daughter was bullied there for over two years.. I've been in the principals office with the…read moreprincipal and secondary principal (he's a joke I might add) at least 8 times in the last year.. I finally pulled my daughter from the school after she was beat up by 4 girls in the bathroom.. the secondary principal was not so much concerned with us after I said I was pulling her from the school NOTHING at all was done to the girls bullying her EVER!! They were right back in school the day after it happened! With no punishment at all.. and when I emailed the secondary principal asking why nothing was done he said it was none of my concern because I pulled my daughter from the school... unreal. My daughter has thrived so much sense leaving this hell school she was In hell every day at this school. We've talked to teachers, other staff, both principals the only one who seemed to care was the Secretary.. if anyone wants to say I'm making anything up or this isn't what happened I'll gladly share the emailed between me and the secondary principal and the video of these girls and my daughter in the bathroom (yes it was recorded)

According to my child, students feel confused in her classes. We have been talking about this from time to time.

People researching schools in our district will wonder how I could give a 4 star review to a…read moreschool that chronically ranks low? It's simple: A. This is yelp and it is based off experience. I have the opportunity to be a community partner with Zanewood and have seen the school from the inside this past few months. B. They have a staff and leadership team that care deeply for the school in fact some staff feel called if not compelled to make a difference. I have also met the new principle who came from Obama Elementary in St Paul and she is going to see this school live up to my ranking. 3. I have seen the degree the volunteer services goes to endure kids have the resources necessary to succeed in life and school and have seen a desire to get parents more involved in the school body. 4. Lastly, Brooklyn Park is a cool city with a gritty vibe and embodies everything that is awesome about diversity. There are several great schools in Brooklyn Park and Zanewood is one that pulls from the largest area and represents a student body that has significant needs. The kids here are artistic, dream big dreams and have amazing possibilities. All you need to do is team up and volunteer! This Steam school is on the rise!

This school was the worst experience for my daughter, who spent so much time in the "reflection…read moreroom" for having panic attacks (due to a dairy intolerance that wasn't discovered yet) that she fell way behind the other kids academically. She was constantly bullied (punched in the back often, smacked hard on her butt, called derogatory names), but because of the race of the kids bullying her there was nothing done about it (she's white) and the assistant principal made fun of her in front of her class which led to more bullying. I moved her and her sister to a different School and within the first year she became a different person and started doing really well, was happy and would cry with gratitude to her new teacher and principal and thank them repeatedly for being so nice to her. After we found out about her dairy intolerance she is doing even better than the first year at the new school and I only wish I had moved her and her sister out of sonnesyn years before I did. I wouldn't send anyone's kid to sonnesyn, that place is a disaster, the kids are out of control and the principal just doesn't care.

i wish i could give it 0 stars. i went here when i was…read moreyoung, i was treated so badly i had to switch schools. teachers treated me badly, when i was in kindergarten the teacher would yell at me for coloring outside of the lines!! the teachers would let the kids bully me and knew that i was bullied, even got punched in the face and nobody did anything about it, there were even witnesses! people told lies about me saying that i physically hurt them, i got in trouble but my mom told them to check the cameras, and of course they were lying, but when i came forward with being bullied even physically nobody did ANYTHING. i used to run out of class and hide because i was so scared of the teachers and students. the special education staff are AWFUL. i was having a breakdown, i am neurodivergent and my teacher at the time pulled out a damn ipad and started recording me. she threatened to send it to my mom if i didn't stop throwing a tantrum. they used to write lists of all the things i did. wrong in the day, including things like blurting, or talking too loud and would read it to me in-front of my parents at the end of the day. and the worst thing is it wasn't just me, every single neurodivergent person me and my family have met who also went to school there had similar experiences. i came home crying every day, i still experience PTSD from this school. please for the love of everything good do not send you're kids here if their disabled or neurodivergent!!!!!!!
