Paying out of pocket for school. Was told by Olympic College Records and Registration employee that…read moreI have to pay for parking. According to Security staff at Olympic College, I did not have to pay for parking. Parking is free in the summer. I was charged anyway for parking by the cashier while paying out of pocket for my classes. The Accuplacer Placement Exam is to see if I should take a certain Math course for Medical Assisting. The office where you could ask questions about the exam, closed at 1130am the day I was told to sign up for the test. I went online to sign up for the test and found out the fee was 25 dollars. Another out of pocket expense. Since the office was closed that handles the exam was closed: i put my credit card in the system and paid the 25 dollars. Unbeknownst to me, and because the office was closed, I did not know that the 25 dollars was not refundable. When I checked my calendar at home, I found out I had doctor appointments when the exam was to be taken. I immediately called the testing center at Olympic College to try and get a refund. No one answered the phone and of course no one was in the office. On the website for the 25-dollar Accuplacer test , there was not a warning that I would not get a refund if I canceled the test. The warning came after you had given the 25 dollar payment. I was shocked that an institution would not warn students beforehand. Becoming a Medical Assistant was my next goal after CNA program. When I talked to an employee who helped run the program, she told me that my previous courses taken at Olympic College would carry over to getting me a Medical Assistant certificate. When I met with the supervisor who was in charge of the program, her response took a negative tone. The supervisor told me that I would have to pay for all the classes over again. Being suspicious of her antics, I emailed the Dean of Olympic College. I got no response from the Dean. To me, this seems like a money grab. I am paying for my own college classes. I should not be paying to take the same classes over. Olympic College should ask the lawmakers to give them more money to stay open. Do not depend on students paying (out of pocket).

A lot of the classes are too long and should be split. Most of the classes I attended were people talking over the teacher asking questions that didn't pertain to most people.

One star because zero isn't an option, this is the reason I hate living in this neighborhood. Not…read moreonly do the parents of kids attending this school suck at driving and my kid can't walk to their school anymore because they've almost been hit over 10 times by students and parents alike but the students are terrible drivers and incredibly disrespectful of the community around them. Typically when you live next to a school sure there are some annoying things but you get the benefits of community spaces and groups. Not with this private religious school, all you get is knowing a catholic person somewhere is rich and no you can't use their field or gym. I want to move out of the neighborhood I've loved for 10 years because of this school. The staff I've contacted about this are incredibly rude. The students I have seen doing some incredibly questionable projects over the years. All in all, Blanchet makes this Seattle neighborhood absolute garbage.

She told me to stand up in front of my entire class to show them "how not to sing" knowing I had my wisdom teeth removed the day before. She was misogynistic, picked favorites and singled out the girls for laughing with each other before class. she said, "why would we expect men to respect us and not see us as objects when we act like that." Other than MRS KENT... Roosevelt was an amazing school.

I highly recommend this school for families looking for a great foundational learning block for their 3-6 yr olds. The only missing pieces I would recommend or suggest is bringing the building up to fire code like public schools have to. Making sure staff have food handlers cards as they prepare all the snacks.

I went to the bush school for 7 years, and had to leave after my sixth grade year. The lower…read moreschool had it's problems, but it was mostly the middle school that was the reason for me leaving. The staff and teachers do not intervine bullying or physical fights. And I had a teacher that would bully me for the amusement of my classmate, and nothing was done about it in the end. My parents respectfully told the head of the middle school the problems, and he did absolutely nothing, and started trying to gaslight my family into thinking it was somehow fixed. The middle school counsellor was absolute garbage, she threatened to call the police on me when I stood I to leave her office to go to the bathroom after I got falsely accused of self harming in my science class. They were not flexible about teaching kids the way they need to be taught in order to learn. While I hadn't yet been diagnosed with autism I think that they still should have been more patient with me because it was obvious the way that they were teaching me, as well as a few other kids, in a way that worked for us. They also fired a bunch of beloved teachers for no good reason, and promoted a bunch of terrible teachers including one that was kind of racist. They have prided themselves about being inclusive to everyone, yet would not let me use the bathroom correlated with my gender identity because I'm trans. And they treated popular kids way bette. There's a TON of other problems with the bush school that I just don't want to get into right now, but I hope you get the point. I would put 0/5 stars if I could, I do not recommend this school at all.
