The Community School

This school has given me skills that I will actually use later in life, it has made me feel like I'm good at something, and it strives to do that for every student. It picks unique and interesting options for classes and gives everyone a chance to participate in it's events and trips, even if you are not a full time student. This school tries to help everyone, whether your looking for something different, or you're just shy.

This school gave me my second chance when my old school did not work out. All the students are like a family and we all work together to solve any issue that arises. I have various medical issues that keep me out of school many times during the school year, and the Community School has made it so I will actually be able to graduate high school.

The Community School treated my family like dirt. We had fully enrolled our previously home schooled 6th grade daughter in their school 5 days a week and had gotten her very excited after we were told she would be picked up by the bus at our house for the 30 minute ride to school. They gave her a t-shirt and welcomed her into the community and she could not wait to see the friends she had made on her initial visit. We did not hear a thing from them all summer but knew their director was changing. The day before school started a new bus driver who I had never met called and told us she would not be picking up our daughter at our house which was the only way she could get to school. I drove her into the first day of school myself to make sure she didn't miss anything and the director brushed us off and used avoidance, the old director that had welcomed my daughter in the spring of the year before was cold and uncaring and the new bus driver sat and told me that it was just too much of an inconvenience to stop at our house even though she drives right by it. I was so heartbroken for my daughter and began crying and was asked to leave the waiting area. My family is heartbroken and has never received a formal apology from the school or any final explanation.
