Athlos Academy of St. Cloud

This is the worst school my kids have ever attended. Last week (feb. 2021) they referred me to Stearns County alleging my daughter missed zoom attendance because they are retaliating against me due to discrimination complaints I made to Executive Director. If you don't want your kids being taken away from you, especially if you have English language barrier, this is not the right school for your kids. Plus, the education is very poor and the place is a mess!

If I could give this school half a star I would. For 2 days my friend has had problems with her kid in this school. Hes in kindergarten. Kindergarten is where you learn the basics of life. The things I've read are appalling. You dont tell a mother to train her kid better. I'm sure its a good school but their parent interaction is terrible. Plenty of other schools in St. Cloud to think about parents.

My son goes to this school. Every day I call to let them know where my child goes. I got off work yesterday at 5 and go to kids stop to get my child to be informed he wasn’t there!!!! It’s a traumatizing experience to feel that feeling! So that means my son got sent on the bus and was home alone while I was at work!!! Luckily, I left my door unlocked that day. I live in town. So many things could have happened. Kidnapping, a terrified child roaming the streets not knowing what to do, getting cold due to the weather, ect. So anyways I call to speak to the director and did get told sorry multiple times and talking to staff. Although he was nice on the phone I didn’t feel like I could hear actual sympathy. I felt I was treated like another mom complaining. My child could have been hurt and scared. Anyways, I got explained how the end of the day works. The kids get told where they go and are divided into those groups into different classrooms. I ask my child about it and there isn’t even a teacher that walks them down to kids stop! So I was told it was logged for him to go to kids stop but the teacher must not have noticed he went to bus. The teacher is responsible for another half of a different class as well! That is a lot of kids to have to manage on your own and it isn’t right. If that’s the case they need more staff. This is unacceptable on so many levels. My goal is to get this changed! This should never happen! What if we were in negative temps and my door was locked?! They should be taking this very seriously. They could get in BIG trouble. I may be saving a kid right now by telling the story. It may be time for me to switch schools while striving to make a change at this one :/

l love this school because my children's don't get in trouble and they learned new thing and when they get home they say hi mom and I say hi kids how was school to and they say the best day. that's what they say everyday so thank you so much teachers.

If I could give this school no stars I would. My child has gotten bullied, nothing done. My child has gotten concussions, still nothing done. Worst of all, my child has gotten molested by another student multiple of times at this school! I contacted the teacher, the social worker, and principal. NOTHING WAS DONE. Not even a call or email back! I wonder what other kids this student has molested besides my child! There is poor or no supervision at all! My child is only 5 by the way. Imagine what goes on with the older kids there. This school just needs better supervision.
