They do not handle bullying at all besides a whole class lecture yearly about how "Bullying is bad…read morefor the water inside of you," (We did actually get that lecture.) except for thee few times they do by suspending the kids and doing nothing else about it unless it's a rare case. They managed to make pop-tarts rock hard. They have very few things going for them (Mr. Morris, Ms. Bolman, Ms. Cody, Crime Lab, Ms. Rugino, Mr. J, Ms. Cardon, Ms. Lund, and the fifth grade teachers), but the goods are only worth one star. Otherwise, it would be a zero star review. Beware Mr. Ellsworth's assignments. I would not wish attending ascent on my worst enemy. My brother has many friends, most of whom left the school, and those who left ascent say their new school is better. I am incredibly excited for ninth grade, because then I can leave. This school nearly made me do something I cannot say in this review. I would literally rather eat rotten for ten years than attend this school. Granted, that is because rotten food is pretty much something that I already get from Ascent (Visibly rotten apple, anyone?). And they have run out of food and made me lose recess (Yes, they have recess in Jr. High) on three seperate occasions this semester. Also, Mr. Ellsworth states conspiracies daily. And the Jr High PE teacher has incredibly sexist grading standards: about 100 laps on the pacer for guys and like 20 for girls, as well as about 20 pull ups for guys and seven seconds of holding onto the bar for girls. I could keep going all day, but I don't remember all of it. (Edit: I was sent to the principal's office today because of this. So, this school cares more about its precious little ego than it does bullying to the point where its students consider something that is often a byproduct of depression.)

My two children have been going to Challenger for almost a year, and I thought it would improve…read more First, my children have ADHD, and it seems no one in this facility is trained to teach or handle children with learning disabilities. Not only are they not trained, they are not tolerant. If you have a child with ADD or ADHD, you should go somewhere else. I have been called into the office many times for the same issues when they could easily make the situations better by learning more about how children with ADHD function. When contacting me when my child is physically hurt or having an emotionally challenging day, I do not get any phone calls. The headmistress has even made me, as a parent, feel shame and guilt. My daughter repeatedly is reprimanded for not tucking in her shirt and other silly things for a 6-year-old to comply with. She cries almost daily because of these comments, and I have asked the school to talk to ME about them and not her. I understand the standards at Challenger are higher than most, but we also have to remember that they are still children at the end of the day.

I wouldn't even give this facility one star if I didn't have to!!!! The teachers are horrible they…read moresmile in ur face and act like they care for the child when they don't everything tht is asked of them Is never taken into account. My son had extremely bad diaper rash because they did not change his diapers in a timely manner when I went to the doctor and got special compounded cream for him they wouldn't put it on! When I brought this up to the director she simply said "oh the teacher must have forgot!" I was sooo appalled by her behavior I had hard time not screaming at her! I should have takin him out of there right then and there! But I said hey give them a second chance. Not soon after my son began to teeth and needed teething meds tht are over the counter the director did not administer them because she said she could not find frm wht age and up use was ok. I have a 8m infant and right Infront of the box it said frm ages 1m and up!... Not only tht but she did not call me to alert me tht she was having a issue with finding the age tht the medicine can be given at....Instead She let my infant child go thru pain of thee thing without any relief when the medicine was 10ft away frm him frm 8am-6pm! My sons eyes were blood shot frm crying so much. When I picked him up! Again like a idiot I kept him there the last straw was them calling CPS on me for a bruise on my child's eye tht happened under there care which was clearly stated in the incident report. They lied to the CPS officer and said I never put diaper cream on him and he has a rash! I couldn't believe my ears! I had never seen grown adults lie like tht to save there hides. This place is some where I wouldn't send even my enemy's child they don't care for the kids at all!! Or your property they soiled my $50 diaper bag by putting dirty cloths in with clean cloths and by leaving half drank milk in bottles turned upsides down. My diaper bag was completely ruined when I asked kindly for a reimbursement by cash or in my bill I was told by the director she would have to talk to the owner about It I patiently waited two days for them to tell me they will not pay for the bag! When I said cut it out of the teachers pay the owner who's name is Amy then told me it's still usable! The diaper bag had similac all the way at the bottom of the bag and if u are a parent u Knw tht the smell of similac does not go away and even if it did it would rot inside the bag making it unfit to put clean close or diapers inside of it! There were so many time I would come in and one teacher would have a baby in her arm feeding him/her and my son in a rocking toy feeding him with her other hand. Or there would be one teacher to five infants at once! Also right before I pulled him out I encountered a teacher having a cough being sick as a dog and them not letting her leave she worked in the infant room with my son and my son is now sick. This is the WORST day care center I have ever been to! It's very over priced and the quality of service is crap. I wouldn't mind paying a good amount of money if the service was at least up to par. The teachers are said to have gone through training processes but I don't see it. And the owner was very unkind about running my property! I'm a single mother I can't just pay $750 a month and then when one of her employees ruined something not even say sorry of offer any sort of assistance. I mean when u send ur kids to daycare it's for a break or go to work. But who needs tht when u have facility's like this!!!! If u have a infant plzzzz do ur research and don't send him/her to learning tree! Worst day care in Utah by my standards I will commend two teachers. Miss Cassidy and Miss Teesha.

Bad communication with us as parents wasted much of our time and money. We weren't aware until…read moreparent teacher conferences they were struggling with our child. They filled out a Jordan district behavioral form on him that sounded nothing like we've ever seen from him! This startled us, so when they told us he needed developmental help and excused us from their program (that same day) we put him through every screening they suggested. He passed everything with flying colors. Every Ped visit, every therapy visit and assessment. Jordan district wouldn't help us place him in any developmental preschool programs because they said he didn't qualify for needing any help from them. We got him into a different preschool. That teachers Jordan district behavioral form she filled out on him looked nothing like what sunshine square said he was acting like. It just read like the exact kid we see here at home. Sunshine squares ultimate lack of communication caused me to really struggle to trust teachers. And be overly harsh with any behavior he had. Years later, he's still flourishing in school, and rocking the dual immersion program (behaviorally, socially, and academically). Thanks to great teachers and communication. We were surprised and bummed to have this experience since we went here for preschool as children. Edit: When we escalated this problem/confusion up with the head lady (Mrs.Susie), all she would say is she has to support her teachers opinion and excuse us from the school. No explanation or discussion, she wouldn't allow us to sit in to see his supposed behaviors, or discuss them with the teacher more so we could understand how he was acting. We felt like they were just getting rid of him, and we didn't know why.
