school The staff and administration are very friendly and open.

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.

Nicely run school This school is really well run. I have a son who is in fourth grade now and we are also planning on enrolling our daughter in kindergarten there next year. My son actually started there in kindergarten, so we have been with the school for over four years now. So far I am satisfied with their programs and the way the school is run.

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

Disappointed 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.
