Fry Elementary School

Posted April 29, 2009

I am a parent of a child who was accused of 'bullying' by a parent. We tried to explain that our child was not in school during this time since he had surgery. She didn't want to listen and told us she had contacted the school and told them he was a bully! So, we contacted the school right away and talked with the assistant principal. After the investigation by the school they found out that he was not only NOT being a bully but was actually the victim. The Principal was actually present when this child and 2 other students started in on my child. They immediately called in the other parents and took care of the situation right away. I was impressed on how they handled this situation. They were caring and very pleasant and concerned for all involved.

The previous 2 reviewers speak the truth. Fry is an incredible experience if your child is a self-motivated, completely compliant student who loves to excel. But keep in mind that the incredible experience your child will have will be ACADEMICALLY great. The policies (or lack thereof) of dealing with aggressive/abusive students leaves MUCH to be desired. If your child has a great teacher that knows how to deal with issues, you're golden, otherwise you can forget about the principal doing anything. Also, if your child is an average learner, chances are they will feel that they don't 'fit in'. Having several children in this school, one who loves to excel and others that are average learners, I see the difference in their experiences and it is a NIGHT and DAY difference! Not a warm fuzzy environment for sure. Administration is pretty standoffish and unresponsive with parental concerns.

If your student is a good,compliant student - this school will be awesome, enriching experience. Good luck if your child is average or below average.

Horrible policy towards handling absuive students, lack of communication and they take kids outside all the way down to ZERO degrees. Not a healthy enviroment. If you complain they remember you and make that quite clear...almost as if they are saying shut up and deal with or poor policies. Principal appears to be too busy to be bothered with going to most recent PTA meeting and doesnt seem to think she should respond to parents concerns. Student 'counselor' who mediates problems appears to handle problems in a very impatient way...actually walked away while I consoled my daughter as if I was taking to long in the hall way to convince my 5 year old she need to go to class after she arrived late. I was told on several occasions I should put my concerns in writing....a sad testament to the 35k in taxes I paid.
