This place is horrible, our daughter was bullied and the administration not only at the school, but also at The Assembly ignored it and let the bully return. The only reason this is a 1 star rating is because of the teachers. They are amazing and deserve better than they are treated. We sent our daughter to Kindergarten this past year, 2018-2019 school year, and we will not be sending her back. The year started great with little to no hiccups but around the beginning of December she came home with bruises on her arms and legs on one side. When I asked the teacher she informed me, the next day and only after inquiring, that she had been hit by a little boy that sat next to her. A few days later she came home with a bruise on her cheek from being hit with a chair that the other child threw at their teacher. We were not notified of this either, only finding out what happened after our daughter told us. A few days later she came home with a black eye. She was kicked in the face on the playground by the same kid, and we WERE STILL NOT NOTIFIED BY ANY MEMBER OF STAFF. We then met with the Superintendent, who is the fill in principle for elementary because they currently have no acting elementary principle. He halfway assured us that the situation would be taken care of, only after asking what our daughter did to deserve a black eye, and telling us to pray about it. After Christmas break she was still coming home with bruises, we were STILL not being notified, and so we met with the superintendent, again. It was blown off and our daughter was accused of using this kid as a scape goat. We left the meeting less than assured the situation was handled. Soon after we learned that this kid was telling our daughter that if she told anyone he would continue to hurt her. Then she came home with 2 bruises on her stomach and SEVERE stomach pain. He and another child punched her in the stomach in 2 separate locations at the same time. WE WERE STILL NOT NOTIFIED. We met with the superintendent for a 3rd time. My husband was unable to attend this meeting, so it was just me. I was yelled at, I was berated, treated like a liar and a fool for defending my daughter against physical violence from a boy. I informed him that if this boy was returning next year, that our daughter and our other 2 children would not. His response was "Well then Maybe this isn't the place for you.". After that, my husband and I met with the head pastor of the Assembly, the church in charge of Summit, Pastor Ron Woods. The meeting ended with optimism that the situation would be handled. Then we received a call a week later with the offering to put her in a different class, but the boy would be returning, and to pray about it. I need to note that our daughter is not the only person that was being physically hurt by this child. There were several other children being effected, and parents that were also meeting with administration. The teachers were also physically hurt, one of them pregnant. Whatever you do, do not send your kid(s) here.
The biggest lie they ever told us was that they don't tolerate bullying. read more
