In our familys experience, A. Dorothy Haines (Augusta, GA) did not provide the structure or consistent support our child with special needs required. We observed staffing instability early in the school year, including periods where our childs classroom did not appear to have a consistent, appropriately qualified lead teacher. When a qualified teacher did begin, that teacher was later no longer in the role, and the way the situation was handled did not give our family confidence in the schools professionalism or stability.
When we met with school staff to discuss accommodations and supports, we felt our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed with a clear plan. We also experienced a situation where allegations were made against our family that were later not substantiated, which added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.
Ultimately, we withdrew our child and will not return. PSA to parents of children with special needs: based on what we experienced, I would not enroll my child here again. I recommend choosing a school with proven special education structure, staffing stability, and consistent accommodations.

I don't feel that it develops honesty, integrity, & fairness because things that go on that the students should be reprimanded for they aren't

My son went to this school as an enrollee of the STEM program. The teachers were great and my son definitely like the teachers too. The problems we had were weapons being brought to school and a bit of bullying going on. Nothing was done for it, so my son began to take matters in his own hands!
