School Reviews
2 10/6/2006
My child has been in the Siletz school system since begining school.
At the age of 6.5 he was unable to read and reccomended to special education.
He changed schools for 5 months with in that time he was not only NOT headed to special education, but he was able to learn to read and write to a 2.1 grade level. This unbelivable progress indicates to me that the teaching staff, and the school at large was not seriving this child. Proffesional Staff Development is soreley need at this school.
