GBGood school! Happy with our decision about this school. My children are getting a great education with fair teachers and staff.

GBDisappointed and deeply concerned My son attended East Arbor this fall and we have just registered him elsewhere. As attentive, caring and compassionate as some teachers are, neither Ms. Newby or Ms. Wilson seemed to lack those qualities. They seemed uninterested and slow in looking for other resources to help him emotionally. (I didn't realize until 2 weeks ago, when I scheduled a meeting, that there were other resources.) It is very disappointing and upsetting. The new school has been very warm, friendly and welcoming to him. They are aware of his situation and already have a plan in place when he starts on the 4th. Something, we did not experience at East Arbor.

GBAwesome School! I love East Arbor! My child loves going to school everyday and the teachers are amazing. I highly recommend East Arbor if you desire a wonderful culture and great education for your child.

GBMoral focus, academic excellence, parental involvement, student accountability Teachers work close with you to ensure best possible learning your student is capable of. Happy they teach the four pillars mentioned above.

GBDismissive and Unaccountable! My son has attended Easr Arbor for 3 yrs now. He's in eighth grade. Whenever there has been an issue regarding dicipline I think the teachers and deans are pretty fair. There have been some growing pains but over all I have been supportive of them and making sure my son is accountable whenever he needed to be. However, when a staff members behavior is questionable or inappropriate Mrs Newby and even the previous principal, Shaun Leonard were dismissive and neglectful. Mr Harding the gym teacher.does not mirror the moral codes that National Heritage Academies tries to instill in their students and in my opinion Mrs Newby is looking the other way. My son has complained about that teacher bullying him and singling him out in front of other students about a medical condition he has and all I got from her is "he said he didn't do that." Seriously?!? Thats it?!? Not 'Ms. Williams we take your childs concerns very seriously and we will keep an eye on the situation or someting!!!' I am furious! My son felt so defeated afer speaking with her today. He said "mom, he can get away with it because he's an adult." So here is my son's voice in this public forum speaking to you. If there is an issue with a teacher and your child, it will swept under the rug. The kids are expected to be accountable for their actions while the teacher's can wreak havoc on your child emotionally. Two more months and we won't look back.
