If your child has disabilities they WILL NOT get the support and assistance justifiably needed for their educational needs.

I would NEVER recommend a parent taking their child or children to Kyrene Middle School if they have disabilities.

I've been fighting them since 6th grade to do an Evaluation on my child who has been medically diagnosed with Autisim and other disabilities through a psychologist and other professionals who can diagnose disabilities.

Barely able to finally get them to evaluate my child during this year as a 7th grader. However as per IDEA act of 2004 the school and district did not comply with the laws and complete the Evaluation in the appropriate time frame. I had to file a complaint with the Az Education School Board.

My child has been through so much this year and we've had to attend so many meetings both for their 504 Plan and for trying to attain an IEP.

Last but not least An Individual Education Evaluation was done on my child by an outside party not associated with the Kyrene School district and paid for by the district.
Hoping this Evaluation would help to attain my child an IEP. My child has once again been denied.

We've had 3 instances where we've been told by staff at KMS that my child may have medical diagnoses of disabilities, but educationally it is not prevalent. Yet my child struggles yearly and without her parents being on top of them their grades would be F or Ds.
3 meetings this year we have been told my child is not eligible for an IEP and only Eligible for an 504 Plan because the needs of my child are better met through the 504.

I wish this were true, but staff are not held accountable and plenty of staff I feel are just there for a pay check and do not want to put the extra effort in to help students with special needs. Children with special needs seem to consistently fall through the cracks, especially if their higher functioning.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO KYRENE IF THEY HAVE DISABILITIES. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL AS HAS BEEN WITH OUR CASE.
