Krejci Academy/The Mansion

This place is the best, if it wasn't for Mrs Reed and the other nice staff that helped me but I have gotten SO FAR in this school i am a highschooler that thinks that these reveiws are written by kids... they drop a 3 or lower star rating because they are jealous that the other kids are playing and he cant DON'T be that kind of person that gives bad reviews that such a cool and VERY FRIENDLY kind of place. If it was not for this school i would't be headed to Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. because my other school GAVE ME NIGHTMARES (Easter seals) gave me the chills just thinking about that place. I am very lucky to end up here where i belong to. For a much shorter review This place is highly recommended to parents that have been searching for schools THIS IS THE PLACE! 1👍 like for the kids that are getting the great help they need!!

I went to this school for four whole years and anyone who doesn't like it doesn't realize what this school is trying to teach. Through the four whole years I was here, I met some of the nicest people I have ever met and they opened me to new subjects and made me so much more then what I was. I'll admit that some of their methods seem odd, but they have them because the school takes care of multiple kids with disabilities like I do. I used to be a troublemaker but this school turned me into someone who is proud of himself.

I went here in 2005 i think to escape a bullying situation in my original school, and i did not like what I see. they use a form of aversive tactic calls cautions, where if you do something wrong, they give you a type of warning called a caution. if you get two in a day, you go out to the hall, and three will land you in the time out room. now for serious issues, this makes sense, since you don't want people hurting other people or being constantly disruptive. HOWEVER, they took it WAY too far here, and often used cautons as their go to method of responding to things, and also gave them over small things which honestly didn't ewarrant it just the first time. Examples, once I went back to the classroom becaise i couldn't find where my class had gone, and when the teacher came back, i got a caution for it before i even was told why this was an issue (and after i had been commended for doing a similar thinge before.). Another time i was reading something and I made a joke about the story, and instantly got slapped with a caution. These examples were far from the only examples of them acting like this, and the major issue is that, for some of these, I or the other students didn't know what they were doing was even wrong, so to be so cold and callous about givign cautions like this without first explaining why what they were doing was an issue and giving them a fair chance to change was unfair. In fact in all honestly, when i was there I was largely in fear of doing anything that even slightly deviated from what they deemed appropriate, lest they deem it inappropriate and get a caution for it. And on the subject of callousness, once I was having a rough day and got sent to the hall, and was oujt ther crying for ten minutes. However, their response, instead of showing some sympathy, was to have the person outside watching me tell me if I didn't get it together I would be sent to the time out room. And I repeat, they acted like this to someone who was CRYING! Callous is honestly the only word I can think of to describe that. All in all, the only thing their approach accomplished for me was to make me resentful of authority, and while this place is certainly no Judge Rotenberg Center, their methods still only succeeded in making me resent authority and being told what today. In fact to thi day, I still have resentment for the volunteers and people who work with the disabled as a whole, likely because I associate those people with the way they acted here and in other special ed programs I've been in. Is it fair, probably not, and admittedly this isn't the only program that does this, or even the worst. However, just because something is 'better' than something else does not automatically make it ideal, and judging by othe rreviews on here, my inclination is that considitons here are still far from ideal.

People seem to see it as a horrible place, I DON'T! People have the wrong idea. Most of these reviews are written by students to get a bad rating on this place. My job is to keep the overall rating above 3.0 so the student's parents will want to reccomend it to thier family members VERY GREAT SCHOOL it turned me into a COMPLETELY different person i am today

It's boring and useless. This place needs to shut down. I hate quiet rooms so much that teachers send a note to my dad and he took away some electronics for a week and got grounded. Sadlier is very lazy. And there is NO free time except for Friday. Some students used swearing. Some students are SPEECHLESS!!! Some students are screaming like hell. Some students are annoying. And some students are CRAZY!!! And even worse, it was full of HARD homework. Please sign me out from this school right this instant!
