Dismissive 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.

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

i went here from kindergarten to 6th… i went here from kindergarten to 6th grade was there the first day of school for the entire school and it was great for the first year but then the teachers stopped caring, the principle changed and it went all downhill from there

A lot of changes need to be made We continue to be frustrated with a lot of issues. There is a lack of effective communication from teachers, there is poor disciplinary action for the kids that are really troubled, yet others that have small infractions are receiving detention or their clips are constantly moved over minute things, taking away from their learning. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH RECESS or time for the kids to be moving around!! Humans are not meant to sit quietly all day! The school is becoming like a prison, and doesn't foster an effective and happy learning environment. Mrs. Newby is very unapproachable and seems to be more concerned about administration than helping the children learn and grow. Liam dreads going to school every day, and it is heartbreaking. We are trying to be as positive as possible with him, but it's wearing thin for all of us. We are currently looking for a better option for school for Liam.

Principal Ms. Newby is not approachable and appears to be hostile. Considering sending my students to another school.
