If a child has severe issues with changes in routine, they'll do the opposite and change his plan (with out an ARD) 4-5 times in a month and blame him when he reacts exactly has his evaluations says he will. Privacy? What privacy. It's a free flow of gossip and information here. In fact, don't be surprised when your son's privacy student/medical data somehow reaches your other child in a middle school. Don't expect disciplinary action to staff when this occurs when it can be traced back to a specific source. Even though volunteers sign a privacy pledge, don't expect there to repercussions for this when they violate it either. And, when they go to a birthday party over the weekend and start gossiping and sharing a free flow of protected information between them and their friends, expect a coordinated attack which results in a temper tantrum when the school doesn't remove a kid from a placement with in 24 hours by going to a sandy hook website intended for severe acts of violence while not citing any real incidence but frequently citing a child disabilities as disruptive, mocking facial expressions, and equating disability related behaviors to psychopathy. The parents here are bigots and are quoted several times as saying special education kids don't belong in the general education class and are in need of removal. To which, the school will ultimately violate federal and state laws and remove the child at their request. When your last attempt for compliance is to file an OCR complaint (that OCR agrees to take on due to the egregious nature of violations) expect a mirrad of retaliatory tactics, non compliance, and an obscene amount of gaslighting. RECORD EVERY CONVERSATION EVEN IN CIVIL. Despite their sped population growing over 3% since the 2019-2020 school year, their budget has not increased to accommodate growth to support these programs. This they will not take on that issue but what they will do is spend a ridiculous amount of money on a an attorney out of Houston to fight you on having to do their jobs. A bill that will likely incur them fees more than their sped transfer budget of $75,000 (which also hasn't increased). It's honestly comical at this point. But, seriously, run away. Which is probably what they want anyway to artificially pump up their testing scores.

We love LCCP! We've had two kids enrolled here for almost three years. Both have had fantastic…read moreteachers and love going to school. LCCP has safe pick up and drop off procedures, daily chapel with singing and fun teaching, and a fantastic playground. And the curriculum has well prepared our five year old for kindergarten - she has good handwriting for her age, is reading simple words, and has learned how to contribute in a classroom setting. The facilities are a little dated, but the sweet environment and quality staff more than make up for it.

Wow, what can I say, I feel like we won the jackpot when we found Magellan. our daughter started in…read moreKindergarten and although she isn't very good at adapting or transitions, she immediately fell in love with her teachers and school friends.. There are no cliques and no bullying and when we have had issues we have raised them with the teachers and they have jumped on them to solve them immediately, and unlike other private schools there's no sense of entitlement from the parents or students. Also, because the school is so good at awarding scholarships not everyone is 'rich'! The school also has a great parent teacher association which offer weekly meet-ups and play dates as well as adult only events. Each class also has a WhatsApp chat group so parents can easily communicate with each other. If it sounds like one big happy family you'd be right, that's exactly what it feels like. In terms of academics my adhd child has thrived. Diagnosed at 4 we thought she would struggle but the school has been amazing at supporting her needs and accommodating her. They also offer many different seating types from a bouncy ball chair, to cushions on the floor and other such. It's very holistic and non political and offers many diverse ways of learning. They have a calming corner, encourage reading and emotional open communication as well many other ways of teaching emotional and academic intelligence. They teach in Spanish from day one and introduce Mandarin from 3rd grade, they also teach following the international Baccalaureate which is amazing. It teaches the children self confidence through weekly presentations and teaches them autonomy. Honestly this school is amazing and now it goes until 12th grade we are obsessed and so you will be too. But, sshh don't tell anyone about our secret slice of heaven.

Hands down, my husband and I feel it is best decision we have made for his education. Although it can be a bit pricey, we have felt that it has been worth every dollar. He is growing up to be a well spoken, well thought, caring little human. I love that he is bilingual, but I really love his open minded views and his eagerness to learn. The teachers... the teachers have all been so amazing. They are loving, caring and really take each student's personalities and abilities into consideration as they grow from year to year. As I said, it's not the cheapest option and we do discuss yearly if we will be renewing his tuition-- and, with each year this answer comes easier and easier with an astounding "YES". We love the school, the community, the parents and look forward to many more years at Magellan!
