Springfield Public Schools

If you have a child with special needs, move or find a private school. This year my son has gone backward academically. They quit doing parent/teacher conferences last year at his "school." There just seems to be a lot of run around and disorganization. There are no advocates for special needs kids and trying to navigate through any of it is extremely frustrating. It seems like no one cares. He does get to watch a lot of YouTube though so he likes that since he's not allowed at home. He's come home with new cuss words and other nasty stuff. Think they've given up on him...He's only 8. Just sad

Sunshine elementary is a joke. They are absolutely horrible when it comes to "troubled kids" behavior or otherwise they do not know how to deal with them. And going to the main school office gets you nowhere. They tell you that your child is the problem. Then take it apon themselves to try to switch your child schools when you are in the middle of moving because they dont want to deal with them anymore. I have contacted the school board and have gotten nowhere they side with the school everytime. If i had the option my children would not go to any springfield schools. Whole system is a joke

This school district is absolute garbage. My child has been continuously bullied by some girls at her school, Westport Middle School, and no one takes it seriously. Me and my child have spoken to counselors, teachers, principal, vice principal, office ladies, and everyone in between and the bullying and harassment hasn't stopped. My next steps are the school board, police, and an attorney. It's sad that there are anti bullying and anti harassment policies yet no one takes it seriously. Get it together and take these kids more seriously.
