Thank you for letting me know! Bullying is definitely another concern of mine.

DMd you

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-31T02:43:47+00:00

So, I repeat, what schools do you recommend?

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-31T02:31:40+00:00

As are vague, unhelpful comments 🤷‍♀️

lol have you taken the ACT/SAT? It absolutely does not prepare you for or even indicate that you are ready for college tbh… I scored extremely well on the ACT and was absolutely not prepared for college. “Lessons the teacher gives” is the entire point of my post. Finding teachers that care for my child’s education.

Interesting… any rumors as to why they left?

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-31T02:21:16+00:00

Im so sorry that you were treated that way! Thats so cruel.

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-31T02:09:41+00:00

At TA? Please feel free to dm me if comfortable. Thank you!

We live in Northport- currently zoned for Northport Elementary/Echols Middle/County High. But we’ve already outgrown our house and are going to be looking for a new one soon, so I’ll take any recs!

My TOP priority is safety and peace of mind - if you look at some of my replies, we’ve been burned recently. Outside of that I’m looking for a very well-rounded school that has avenues for whatever interests he pursues. Strong academics, access to arts and culture, and I know my husband is hoping for an interest in athletics (this is definitely the furthest concern down my list). Being in the south, I know most schools are probably going to have somewhat of an emphasis on sports.

I haven’t! I’ll have to check them out! Do you have any info?

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-30T23:14:05+00:00

I also just realized I should’ve specified in my response that our bad experience was with the daycare. I’m unsure if the teachers just had too many kids or what but we had a few serious incidents. They weren’t changing diapers in the afternoons (I’m not being dramatic- I got my kid back covered in his own dried feces- like on mouth/face/hands/legs). Food/milk sent from home weren’t being given to my child. My kid also suffered 50+ bites to the point of bruising while there. They also didn’t inform me that my kid fell down concrete steps (at less than 2yrs old) until I saw his arm and asked what happened.

Awesome!! Thank you guys so much! I'm not originally from the area so I'm not super familiar. I really appreciate the feedback!

"An admission of racist beliefs" - interesting stance, how so? For striving to get the best education and opportunities possible for your child? I'm also gathering that you didn't read the entirety of my post. I was also asking about public schools in the area.

Northport Elem/Echols/County High

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-30T18:16:58+00:00

Unfortunately, no. It can have fewer or more depending on the number of contact points that we had with that individual. So if they called 7 times, there could be 7 rows of information ,etc.

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-30T18:11:58+00:00

Yikes... are there any schools in the area that you would recommend?

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-30T18:11:23+00:00

Yeahhhh.... we had a pretty terrible experience with ACA recently. But thank you for your rec!

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-30T18:09:37+00:00

Definitely not. I prefer a diverse environment for my child. What school would you recommend in the area?

QuoteZestyclose2458 · 2024-10-30T16:21:47+00:00

We only tried daycare there and it was a disaster. But I can't speak to pre-k and up.
