It's unfortunate that some folks had a negative experience with their kids here, but the same can be said for any public and private school - some kids and families do well and some do not. Private schools do have their drawbacks - specials needs, etc - as they simply don't have the vast resources as the public system does and are unable to change / derive curriculum to match each child and family due to their size and scope. As far as my experience at Canterbury with my two children, they love It and are learning at an excellent clip. The parent community is close-knit and are active participants at the school on a daily basis. I would give this school 10 stars if I could. That said, making a decision on your child's education is a very important and personal decision. In-person visits, interviews, and learning about the unique communities and cultures first hand are a must. In my opinion, if you are relying on Yelp and/or Google reviews, you're doing it wrong.

Bro y'all teachers dramatic, because I said gyatt when I went here and I got in trouble because it was "innapropiate" like what? And the teachers don't care about your mental health, why? Because your too young to be depressed and you don't know anything an it's not serious because how young you are. Thats what they think, most of them at least, by most I mean 98% out of 100% and that 2% are most likely faking about caring. And they do not care about bullies. They only care if you cuss or do something stupid like throw a pencil across the room, like we know a student didn't loose their eye from that and got a heart attack, like just straight up being dramatic. And the stuff I just said would be a one star, but there are normal school stuff her also. But there are not many bathrooms for a normal school, one bathroom per classroom, not aloud to be in the other bathroom, I know this because in fourth grade there was two bathrooms per class girls and boys surprisingly, both the bathrooms were took up and I had to use the bathroom and my teacher asked why I was in there for three minutes, like what?! They were taking so long in the bathroom. But the early release days were fun in fifth grade because we got to make slime one time, I like slime. And the teachers, most didn't care when they saw soda, surprisingly. And I don't think they laced the lunch, and not that many kids had spoiled milk, I only heard about 1 or 2 kids having spoiled milk, and since most the teachers are girls there's only one likely to be pedophile, still to be determined, 50 50 chance who's knows. Also p.e sucked like just give me the zero I don't wanna play cricket tag Diddy hop touch hide and seek with Diddy, like I am not playing that like wym I have to hop like a frog while finding miku figures under cones, while someone is hunting me, cosplayed as Diddy, acting in Diddy downfall, and Y'ALL DO NOTHING ABOUT THE STUPID OLD LADY BUS DRIVER FROM LAST YEAR, AND I MADE MULTIPLE BULLY REPORTS Y'ALL DID NOTHING. ONLY DISIPLINE PEOPLE ON THEIR PHONES SMH. AND BACK TO THAT BUS DRIVER WHY DIDN'T Y'ALL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WE TOLD Y'ALL SO MANY TIMES AND SHE ONLY GOT FIRED OR QUIT THIS YEAR. AND I DON'T WANT ANY OF Y'ALL SAYING "oh just because your bus driver played bad music or had rules you didn't like doesn't mean she's a bad bus driver" BECAUSE SHE ALMOST CAUSED ME AND ANOTHER KID TO BE INJURED AND SHE WAS MEAN TO MY AUTISTIC BROTHER, THE INJURY THING YOU MAY ASK WHAT HAPPENDED? I WAS GETTING UP TO GET OFF THE BUS AND SHE STARTING DRIVING SO I HAD TO GRAB A KIDS FACE SO I WOULDN'T FALL. Y'ALL BETTER NOT DELETE MY REVIEW.

Hi this is the same person who wrote those other 2 reviews I just wanted to say any male teacher at that school is a pedo and I'm name dropping myself as Skye Smith yes I know my name is already visible but I just felt like name dropping myself, I believe in equality when talking shi and I name dropped so many people in the past I now need to name drop myself anyways I'm pretty sure one of the teachers was drunk when talking to me bc she was acting so weird idk why they sent her into the room where I was when I was like waiting for the cops to arrive I think? If I wasnt so honest in 5th grade I would've been way different rn the mental hospitals changed me so much which yes actually this isn't useless information if you're mentally ill like me, they will send you to a mental hospital just for cutting yourself. While I do believe cutting yourself is not a good coping mechanism, I also believe you aren't at risk of killing yourself if you don't cut past the 2nd layer of skin. You are only supposed to be sent to a mental hospital if you are at risk of committing suicide, so sending people to mental hospitals just for self harm causes kids and teenagers to fear to speak up. This school could improve in many ways, yes I know I haven't been here in 2 years, but even if it has changed a little there's most likely still room for improvement. Kids with mental disabilities need to be treated better, what I noticed in most facilities is that the school counselors only "help" you when you get loud about it. The only way you can get them to help you is either embarrass yourself multiple times and act out, don't wanna do that? Well then you have to cut yourself and let others see, then they'll tell the teacher, the teacher will tell the counseler, the counselors gonna talk to you and refer you to a mental hospital. Have fun with those 3 days in Lakeland regional shi maybe even peace river, then when you get back the counselor will ask what time you want her to talk to you, though I forgot how many times a week it would be. read more
