If you want emotionally damaged children, send them here! From K-9th, I was severely bullied by my…read morepeers and humiliated by staff while everybody did nothing. In 3rd grade, I couldn't "walk up the stairs the right way" so my teacher would pull me aside, make me hold her hand and told my classmates to laugh at me until I learned how to go upstairs the "right way". In 4th grade, my art teacher hung up every student's artwork except mine. When asked why, she said my artwork wasn't good enough. In 6th grade, a group of girls ripped off my fake fingernails, told me to kill myself and one girl threatened to kill me. When the principal was informed, she forced me to apologize. My teacher made me hug those girls because he said I instigated it all. In 8th grade, a teacher threw a desk at me because I asked to change seats. I left the Academy with several mental disorders and lifelong emotional damage. Also, in high school, when we would have substitutes, they would just pick a random teacher that had little to no knowledge in the subject they were substituting in. The staff here was useless and, if anything, encourages bullying, harassment and humiliation.

Sandoval Elementary seems to be one of the best elementary school choices in the Highlands area…read more The DPS system does not have an excellent reputation. My son has been attending Sandoval a few years now. Sandoval is a little strange. The classes are grouped so for example 1,2 and 3rd graders are all lumped together for 3 years. I did question this method, but the bright side is that it creates some stability in class mates and teachers. It's half Spanish speaking which I feel is a mixed blessing as well. My son is learning two languages but I am afraid he may end up a "jack of all trades master of none" but the verdict is still out. The school is kind of hard to get into, so I think the parents and kids seem to take learning a little more seriously at this school.

No need to hide identity. My name is Addikan Campbell. I attended this school back in 2017 during…read moremy sixth grade year. I was bullied hellaciously from the first day I stepped foot into that building, until the moment my parents took me out of it. I experienced verbal bullying as well as physical. I was called every name in the book, discriminated against for my skin color, view points, and where I come from (Texas). I was shoved, kicked, tripped, had my head shoved in my locker and had the door slammed against it. Kids took my food. They excluded me from activities and group projects. And the list goes on. For some context, the way this school gpes about the bullying problem is to have kids go into the office and write reports of what the other students did. I was in there anywhere from a few times a week to multiple times a day missing time in class to write report after report about the same students over and over and nothing ever got done. Eventually, after all the nonstop bullying and schoolwork I was getting behind in, I had enough. I defended myself from physical harm after being circled by a group of kids who bullied me. The kid in question, Cody, shoved me one last time and I tore into him like ugly on a spider. This event, regardless of the amount of reports I made about this kid along with others, and the reports from the student witnesses saying I defended myself, the school officer took my fingerprint and I was issued a court date at 12 years old. Even found guilty for defending myself from abuse. All while the admin did nothing about my bullying for the months that led up to that moment. Parents and students alike, I hope you see this review and steer far away from this dumpsterfire of a school and their worthless administration.
