Lyman Hall Elementary School

my experience at the school has been awful I feel like I'm in a circus always having to redirect or email a teacher over small matters that they overlooked because they are not open to listening. all it takes is one teacher to listen to solve a problem and a solution and to carry that information out to the other teachers so that everybody can be on one Accord. here at Lyman Hall that is not done I have not felt the difference since the last year my children have both fallen behind last year and then are now starting to fall behind again this year. All because their IEPs are not being followed as stated add because they lack the teachers to help support these students. I feel very upset yet for my own children but yet I feel more sad for the teachers.

I had to go to the school board and request for my children to be transferred to a different school. Teachers do not enforce rules or disciple the kids with punishment fitting their bad behavior. They simply say don't do that, give them a tally mark on the board and move along like nothing. My son was harassed in the restroom and she just gave the other 2 boys tally marks without even contacting their parents! If my son harassed another student I would want to know about it so I could properly address the situation and discipline him accordingly. A month after this occurred, my daughter had a girl follow her to the bathroom every time she went and peek under the stall at her. She told the teacher and the teacher did nothing. She even still allowed the girl to exit the classroom after my daughter was already out to use the restroom enabling this girl to continue to follow and watch my daughter! It got so bad that my daughter would hold it all day and wound up at the Dr. office with a UTI from it. The kids here are loud and do whatever they want. I went to have lunch with my kids regularly and every time you could hardly hear one another even sitting side by side because of all the yelling. If the kids were yelling then the adult helpers in the lunchroom were yelling for them to quiet down which only made it louder and resulted in no change. I do not recommend anyone enroll their kids in this school.

Horrible! Teachers are more concerned with children answering questions wrong (5 days not recess) but when kids are stealing and destroying things from their peers it is a tick mark on the board. Sometimes lessons go farther than just academics. Sometimes you need to teach common sense and life lessons.

My children have only been going to this school one month and already I have had to place 3 phone calls to the office about one of my children. I do not like this school and would recommend taking your child across town to go to a different school in the county! My children hate the school! And I don't like the way some of the teachers handle my children! I should not have to worry about how bad of a day my child has at school especially one of my children I have never had a problem with at school!
