I am disappointed to see that the 1:1 aids with training will be layed off. The untrained staff will be a substitute for qualified assistance for the disabled at this district. It is the steps we take that open and shut doors. The school district has made a decision that may lead toheart breaking outcomes for the disabled and their families The non discrimination policy on their website sadly will need new contemplation now , and rewording of its true heart and belief It is the steps we take everyday. Me. You. All of us!!

The Elk Grove School District does not care about our youth staying active. They are not allowing…read moreyouth football to be at the schools after 10/15 after agreeing to allow it prior to the season starting (and this is the first year in over 10 years they are trying to force us to stop). Now all youth football programs have to scramble to find a place to practice , and soccer has all the parks. This is completely unacceptable and sends the message that they really don't care about our youth or about our youth staying active. They would rather help support youth obesity, encouraging our youth to just stay home and not be active. On top of that we have over 150 families at each program that they are saying oh well we don't care about you or your kids. Just blown away by this district, completely unacceptable.

My daughter is a freshman at COHS this year, and unfortunately this experience has been nothing but…read moreproblems. I understand teenagers make mistakes, but the way this school handles situations is extremely frustrating. I constantly receive calls, emails, TalkingPoints messages, and notifications for every little thing my daughter supposedly does -- not looking forward in class, she can't look down, she's put in a group for a group project but can't talk or use her computer for references, being late, being on her phone, etc. One teacher allows music, but then my daughter gets in trouble for being on her phone at the same time. The communication is inconsistent and overwhelming. What's even more frustrating is the attendance issues. I receive notifications about tardies and absences, and when I call to clarify or correct them, the office acts like it's a simple attendance correction. Later I find out there were even more absences or tardies I was never notified about in the first place. The school is very quick to point out every flaw or mistake students make, but never acknowledges anything positive they do or explains what THEY are doing to help students improve. I made sure to hear both sides from the teachers and from my daughter and honestly, the teachers never admitted what they may have done wrong. My daughter was more honest about the situation than the adults were. Once I started holding staff accountable and speaking up as a parent, attitudes suddenly changed and they started treating her differently. The administration has also been disappointing. I spoke directly with the principal looking for support, and instead of helping, I was told he had "more important priorities" and would call me back. He never did. That says a lot about how concerns from parents and students are handled. I could go on and on. This environment is not supportive. Students need accountability, but they also need support, fairness, and communication from adults who are supposed to help them succeed. Even though this is a newer school, I had much higher hopes for my daughter's freshman year experience. Unfortunately, it has been nothing but stressful and disappointing. Before enrolling your child into this school, I strongly recommend reading reviews and speaking with other parents first. Communication from staff feels more focused on punishment and constant criticism rather than support or helping students succeed. Parents deserve honesty, follow-through, and staff who are willing to work with families instead of making them feel ignored.

So if you inside the building waiting for other members of your party to sit as a group it will be hard to send them a message. The restrooms have over 10 stalls not like other school facilities. Pro tip: there is ample parking and the facility is located right by their field.

They only care about being paid and not having to show respect to us. They would be on our case 24/7. I really despised a para in a gen ed program. and i despised the teacher there as well. they really did not like me. they mistreated me for my adhd and autism. they could not show respect to me when I was there and I find it very messed up. If you had taken better care of how the students acted and how the teachers acted. maybe we wouldn't be disrespectful towards the teachers as well.

My daughter had a rough go at a different HS, and recently transferred here... mid way through her senior year. At the other school she experienced every issue you can think from a public school; physical abuse, bullying, emotional abuse and a lack of support from staff. When transferred here, she excelled! PGHS has been a godsend! Our family has been so grateful for the experience and her chance to finish high school in peace. The staff are friendly and responsive, the atmosphere is clean and respectful. We are overwhelmed with the difference 3 mikes makes.

Ms. Pohl, however, is irresponsible and has scheduled numerous meetings with my sister, only to not attend every single one. Additionally, the school must be lacking in funding because why is it that there are 2500+ students divided into two lunches, first lunch and second lunch, but second lunch barely has any food left to serve! My sisters wake up early to pack their own lunches when lunches at Pleasant Grove should be provided to students. They don't even have utensils, napkins, or trays to hold the lunches!
