My son was previously homeschooled k-3, so this is coming from an adamant "homeschool mom" who was terrified to send her special needs son to brick and mortar...
I cannot recommend this school enough.
There is just not enough praise given for the accommodations and considerate teachers and the staff at Parkside Elementary. My son attended Parkside for 4th grade, his teacher was incredible and worked alongside him with his extra needs, she encouraged him to challenge the limits and expectations that came from his special needs. Mrs Holland made sure that my son did not feel out of place or like he didn't belong even while respectfully and willingly accommodating his 504. The open communication from his teacher was frequent, transparent and comforting.
The process of getting my sons 504 in place was made so much easier with the teamwork of all of the staff, making sure he had everything he needed while recognizing where he should be challenged along with places he may struggle, They made sure that every teacher/staff member that worked with him knew of these accommodations, so it was never a struggle or something that I had to continually fight for.
Anyways - if you don't want to read the whole review, just know -
**The school is incredible. It is very clean. The staff is very accommodating with any kind of special needs.
The teachers are down to earth and are there because they have a heart for it.**
I absolutely recommend Parkside Elementary School. read more
