Sycamore Academy

Our kids are here for the second year, only because of the teachers, they really care about the kids and get to know them. The rest is abhorrent. They loose our HIPAA documents (4 times and counting), they loose our absent homework (3 times and counting), they have no cafeteria, parking lot or lunch program. The grading website doesn’t work most of the time and they force you to use it, but cannot even access it. The attitude of the principal is so disappointing, we started school 2 weeks late this year while they got permits and have had our school times adjusted to allow the traffic flow to die down from the 90 min drop offs. I have engaged with her to discuss the lack of competence in the front office, she had a lot of excuses (took 2 weeks to meet with her as she was always unavailable) and offered no solution. The other three times I’ve seen her this year she has been screaming (no not kidding) at a child, yelling at a boy in her office and condesending to another child. She is the leader and the attitude declines from there. There is no reason for the kids to go to her office except negative and my kids don’t even know who she is, she is that disconnected from her students, teachers and parents. We will be moving as we cannot take the chaotic, unorganized and ineffective leadership any longer. Again if you are considering this school and are looking for great teachers, they rise above Ms. Hales negative influence but the rest of it is such a mess it’s not worth it.

Too much to even describe how much I love and appreciate this school !! We started kinder at River springs and after the most horrible experience my son had there after a month it was obvious no matter how involved I was it wasn’t going to get better and be the best environment for him. We switched to sycamore and immediately saw the light come back to my sons eyes, he went back to sleeping thru the night and LOVING school snd learning again! His self esteem and confidence also was night and day! The new school is awesome too !!

Great school for the kids. Teachers are super sweet and good to the kids. I’m happy to bring my kids here.
Thanks staff!
