Richfield Public School Academy

"My kids went there for 2 years, While they did well with my son who is a very smart and great student with no learning issues they let my daughter who came is as a repeating 1st grader slip threw when she was in 3rd grade. She passed 1st grade there and she receiving services with title 1 and extra reading help. This helped her a a lot and she excelled well. In 2nd grade again she received title 1 and extra reading and math help and excelled and passed with no issues. Now we are in 3rd grade and come the spelling test time my Aunt and I noticed right away she was having issues with her words so we started working with her and alerted the school. We kept doing this and come 1st marking period I asked if there any reason to worry and got told "not yet" because it was early in the year. so we wait and she kept struggling. 2nd marking period and still issues and we still helped at home. Now keep in mind her Aunt is a prior school administrator with a bachelors degree in Mathematics and education. So her tutor is surly not the issue. I at this time request an I.E.P. and it was done before the 4th marking period and we were told she did not qualify for services of any kind and then I asked why title one was stopped and me not told at that time I was informed that their special needs area had grown and there were worse children then her so she didn't meet the requirements, BUT SHE IS FAILING READING AND SPELLING!!!!!! So now here we are at the END of the year and she is passed to 4th grades in all topics but failing grade but in guess what two subjects. Reading and spelling. She and my son will not be returning here."

"This school is absolutely wonderful. They really do put the children first. I was the Technology Teacher here and it was the best learning environment I have seen in my years of teaching."
