    Meh. It's an alright school. I think this is where I discovered that life is filled with so much…read morework to do ... you're never done. That's the real lesson I ever learned. The teachers are OK, I guess. Nothing or no one extraordinary.

    I want to start this with my BIGGEST issue I had at this school. I was hit by a teacher. Marie…read moreJuergens, who STILL teaches spanish here. In my 7th grade here in 2016, she saw me texting on my phone under the table (I was texting my mom saying I felt depressed that day, something I struggled with a lot at the time), which was not allowed. She came over to me and instead of telling me to put my phone away, she came up behind me and hit me multiple times on the back of my neck. She had a closed fist, she wasn't slapping me. I was not close with this teacher and I always behaved in this class- not like that matters either way. YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON ANYONE, especially a MINOR. I started to cry because I was overwhelmed and embarrassed that my entire class saw me get hit and that I was hit in the first place. I put my head down on the desk, she walked away, and I texted my mom what happened. She told the class as I was crying "is she seriously crying?" My mom called the school immediately, a staff member came to get me from class. I talked to the principal, they said they were sorry that ever happened, and they said they would talk to her. She was out of class for a few days with a substitute. The next time I saw her, she told the class "I have to treat you guys nicer now, since SOMEONE (looks over at me) got me in trouble." She was never fired. I had to continue to be in her class for the rest of the year. This is absolutely abhorrent behavior from her, the principal, and the staff. I would rather be understaffed in Spanish teachers than have a teacher stay in their job who has hit a child. They saw me cry, they saw me extremely upset, and my mom was there to report it with me. NOTHING. HAPPENED. Do not take your kid here. They do it care about abuse towards their students. The rest of this review covers teachers and how they treat students, my experience with not getting help when I was undiagnosed with ADHD and treated badly for my symptoms that were clearly signs of ADHD, and teachers poor teaching methods. * Not being treated with empathy while struggling with ADHD symptoms: I was often labeled as a kid that didn't pay attention and got bad feedback on my progress reports from this. I felt like the staff at the school did not properly support me and just focused on punishing students rather than finding the root cause. Turns out, all of my issues were signs of ADHD--something I wasn't diagnosed with until I was 18. Had a teacher or staff member sat with me and tried to understand why I would talk in class, had a lack of motivation at times, and had a hard time with traditional studying methods, it would have saved me and I could have had disability accommodations that I now receive while in college. Instead, they treated me like a bad kid. My science teacher, Kimberly Frank, stopped her lecture to tell the entire class that I was annoying. This sounds made up because of how inappropriate that is, but it's true. The entire class was talking to their partners, but she singled me out many times like this. Staff need to be better trained and to treat ALL students with respect. It's absurd. In my 8th grade, I had to get hospitalized due to depression that was caused from how I was being treated at this school. I missed one of my Spanish exams and instead of being allowed to retake the exam, I was given an F and it dropped my grade from a B to a D. This is forever on my transcript. The school could care less about mental illnesses students struggle with, which they knew I had. One of the counselors there even asked one of my classmates if "I was still suicidal" which is a major violation of my personal information and privacy. That should be discussed between me and my parents. Absolutely INSANE. * Bullying and racism on campus: I experienced a lot of drama and bullying on campus--things staff were aware of. There was antisemitism, racism against people of color, and other forms of discrimination. I also had peers of mine get in trouble, if they were caught, for sending naked photos to other students. Things staff did not care to look into, despite it being illegal for minors to distribute that information. * Teachers not being good at teaching: My teachers, mainly math and science, were not good at their jobs. The way that they taught was not engaging at all. Just sitting and writing things down and having students copy it. That's what I experienced. No engaging questions to the class or walking around to see how students are doing. When students didn't understand teachers seemed upset rather than actually try to help them figure out what they are struggling on and showing them other methods to learn (which is what they are taught to do. There is not one single method to learn something). The worst teachers i've ever had throughout my entire school experience of 15+ years was at Standley Middle school. Do not take your kid here. Just take them literally anywhere else.

    I have 3 special-needs children and 2 graduated from from a prestigious division 1 high school…read more I have had horrible experiences with many schools and had to move to different schools through the years for my kids to get the education thy needed. Many teachers were insensitive, aloof, ignorant about trauma informed teaching and would not implement support needed to succeed in school, despot the IEPs. Was a single mom and was not rich, so couldn't fight the system, nor did I have time, while I was working and putting self through nursing school and managing a physically I'll child and a mentally ill child. I Moved to SD for work- and researched schools so my youngest child could succeed in high school. I study trauma and how it prevents learning. So I wanted a school that was culturally sensitive and the teaches are mindful of the various background and situations the children came from. What a blessing E3 is. My youngest child of my 3 kids LOVES ALL the teachers and looks forward to going to school for once. I observed student:-teacher interactions at the back to school night and noticed that all teacher we met have an element of care, compassion, and are vested in student success. They treat students with respect and they were genuinely friendly with the students. Throughout the years there was one great teacher here and there that my kids would get. But it was a gamble and some school years were horrible, some years were full of learning. However, at E3 - ALL of my child's teachers are amazing, knowledgeable, and foster a relationships with him. It was endearing to watch the teacher-student interaction with other students as well- these students trusted and actually enjoyed the teachers. E3 has free tutoring included with school if your child needs it. I did not have the finances to pay for tutoring when my older children were in high school. So, one of my children barely graduated. They experienced traumatic experiences from teachers, teacher assistants giving answers when "helping" a child with tests (found out after a course of years). It was horrible. - E3 is a newer school that has the frame work to educate students and model emotionally healthy interactions so they are successful in life. Highly recommended. Put your child on the list.

Bathrooms are locked during times that faculty has decided is inappropriate for students to use the restroom.

Teachers and students a trying to do their best but the administration is suffocating any progress that teachers work toward. This environment was not made for students to thrive, but for the administration to have a control that results in

    Performing Arts Center review. I recently attended a student…read moreperformance at their Performing Arts Center. When viewing the campus map online it appeared much larger and much more confusing than it actually was. The PA Center was immediately to my left as I pulled onto campus, very easy to find and parking was extremely close too! I also viewed the theater seating chart online to pick my seat. I really loved that it showed me which seats would have a blocked view, encouraging me to pick another one. The theater seemed much larger online than it actually was. So when I chose a front row seat, I had no idea I would be "kick up my feet onto the stage" close. It was still a great seat and I could see the entire performance. The acoustics were good as was the lighting. They could definitely use another bathroom, one is not enough!

    They have a bully culture that goes unchecked by staff. If you have an issue the principles shrug…read moretheir shoulders and say there's nothing they can do. Even when you request a meeting with the other party's parents and the school, the school declines and allows the behavior. Not a very welcoming learning environment. If other students call your child a racial slur nothing is done. This is ONE OF the earliest environments these children should learn what is socially, ethically, and morally acceptable because obviously they are not learning this at home. To not hold children accountable for their actions is enabling them to continue the deplorable behavior. In addition the school is saying they agree and encourage the behavior by doing nothing to punish or prevent this behavior.

    I'm absolutely disgusted with this school! My child attended both years! His fifth grade year was…read moreokay teachers were very communicative and cared about my child's education. 6th grade year was an absolute mess. Beside one or two teachers I was very disappointed in how some of them handled situations. I hardly had any communication with any of his teachers regardless how many times I reached out to find out assignments or any thing regarding my child's education! Also your child will not be able to attend any dances or have a chance at extra "special events" if they have an I in any class. I think it's absolutely ridiculous and separates the "good kids from the bad kids!" This is how my child felt! You do not treat children this way and exclude them from events with their friends. Middle school is hard enough. I will not name the teachers names but I've had to help my child with certain classes because the teacher refused to help let alone teach them! Some homework that was brought home was not discussed in class, and lots of assignments making my child feel overwhelmed. It was a constant fight every night because my child was mentally drained! I have read reviews about Dana and heard by a number of people who have attended there or had their child go there that this place is a mess! I also agree! I'm so glad to be almost done with this school! I can't count how many times my child came home upset from that school and because of its TEACHERS! Good luck if your child has to go here. I would really recommend going somewhere else if you have the means!
