I also know we are not the only family affected. The real issue here is that the director chooses to sweep everything under the rug. They'll tell you, "we will open an investigation" -- but the so-called investigation always ends with "it never happened." Please be cautious and demand accountability. No child should be put at risk like this.

SUCH A MESS. I was at this school a long time ago but when I think of it, it brings an awful taste…read moreto my mouth. I am now in high school and I never want to see another student or teacher from the mess of a school. I cannot think of a single good memory if I am being honest. I had 2 teachers that weren't total jerks or miserable old people that DUCK TAPED THEIR STUDENTS TO THEIR CHAIRS???!! In 4th grade I had the meanest teacher who would constantly yell. I DIDNT LEARN ANYTHING especially in math and now i'm paying for it during geometry. Most teachers had no respect at all. 90% of this school is just rude millennial teachers. I'm not friends with anyone anymore form this school considering they're all jerks and they don't even know their own name. Rudest pe teacher, rudest computer teacher, and completely disgusting campus. There was constant graffiti going on and all the kids and aids were insanely mean. The only nice people were the librarian and the dude who plants stuff. Anyways good luck to whoever goes here but I would suggest basically anywhere else because I am paying off for it now in High School because my teachers were too lazy to do their job.

It was fun since one of the speakers mentioned that his kid told him to don't be boring. For a few moments, he had the crowd laughing. Then he continued with his speech.

For this event, we had to park almost 3/4 of a mile from the school since it was really full. Overall, it seemed like the students were and teachers got along well.

Medea is the right school to be if your focus is your child's growth and your child is ready to take on some good challenges from the teachers. The traffic can be avoided if you time it well.

ASB need to work on the Friday videos. The montage is not good... but it doesn't affect the school process that much. The one star ones have a point: yes, a lot of traffic, I use a bike though. Yes, some biasing amongst the teachers and staff, but there are plenty of staff in charge, even if some don't agree with your point, others, maybe who are in more charge, or even less, will explain and help you. Someone racist or homophobic? That is a giant no-no, even if a teacher is like that. So yeah! Great school.

8th grade at Fusion has been the most positive experience for our family. After an abusive public…read moreschool experience, our child had an understandably poor relationship with school. Across this school year, we've seen him reconnect with a love of learning, we've seen anxiety subside and confidence grow. I joked that he learned more in his first week at Fusion than he had in a month at public school. The teachers and staff were so communicative and encouraging. In their assessments, it was clear they really saw my kid for who he is and tailored their teaching styles to help him reach his potential. I'll always be grateful for our time at Fusion Westlake.
