Maybe some people are just biased and want to get special treatment but .. as for my family , this school and all its staff have been amazing. I highly recommend them and also if you are thinking about enrolling your children's , you can tour and have a meeting with the faculty. It's not your typical or traditional school but that's the entire point.

I was denied rights as a parent, like access to her school information- I was never informed that she started even though I reached out to the school PRIOR to her starting stating I wanted to go over the curriculum and I wanted a walk through. I was also denied access to sign up who I wanted to add onto the pick up list because her dad was the one to sign her up and not me. They tried to intimidate me by saying their "lawyer" read over the child custody order and there was nothing I could do about it. But when asked for their lawyer info so my lawyer could contact them they lied and said it was a "friend who did a favor for them" and wouldn't give me any information. Which is illegal. I have filed a formal complaint and they lied to them as well, good thing I kept all the emails and had proof. One day, They allowed her to attend, even though I informed the staff, that she has been sick and has a doctors appointment that day, (her dad decided to take her to school and skip the appointment- during COVID) but was sent home a month later for "COVID regulations" yet stated she did not have to quarantine for the proper amount of days because it could be allergies. If you are notified that it is allergies, then why send her home in the first place? More has happened and I have documentation of it all. Do not trust them with your kids. My daughter attended maybe 2x a week for a month and all this happened in that time span. If they are dishonest to my face, I can't even imagine what is happening behind closed doors. If it was up to me, I would have never even chose this school. But her dad was allowed to take her to where he wanted on his days.

PARENTS BEWARE! PLEASE READ PRIOR TO ENROLLING YOUR CHILD(REN):…read more Prior to enrolling my child here several years ago I did a lot of research on this schools and the districts and found only positive feedback regarding McSwain Elementary. My daughters first years here under a previous staff was beyond amazing! Sadly, within the last couple of years, this school's administrative staff and new principle: Lauren Lanum/Vice Principle: Hector Perez and especially the Superintendent Andrew Kersten have completely lost sight of safety and responsibility for the children who attend this school. My child has experienced both discrimination for medical reasons and had been bullied a total of 8 months within one school year. When dangerous situations occurred and death threats were made upon her life nothing was done to stop it even though adults in charge were notified. My child was told by those in charge to ignore the bullies. My child became so traumatized to the point of wanting to take her own life because of the constant torment. I emailed, called & visited for various administrative help about the dangers and suicidal feelings my daughter was having due to the bullying and no one batted an eye except for the school counselor Vanessa Granados. (Thank goodness for her!) The principle Lauren Lanum could care less. Both she and the superintendent Andrew Kirsten hung my child for a situation they stated they had no malicious proof of. They simply used her as an escape-goat. A Teacher who was supposed to be responsible was never held accountable because thats what the adults do here; they protect one another. The female Coach at this school: Heather Perez allowed bullying and even became involved. Parents over-heard/saw her talking negatively about my child and contacted me to let me know she was involved. When I brought up the comments to the principle she made excuses. This school is like a boys club. If you are a "favorite" you get special attention and privileges. If you are new, bullying is a huge problem. I'm not the only parents child who's been emotionally tortured at McSwain. I'm simply the one who is willing to stand up against bullying and speak my truth and experiences. All other positive posts after mine are simply to throw off the scent of the lies and deception that this school is so wonderful at performing. Guardians Beware!
