Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way, that Kinetic Academy will do everything in their power to keep children with speech therapy or IEP s out of their school. The reasoning is simple but true. Kinetic Academy is a group of adults who have created jobs for themselves. When your child has special services, such as speech therapy or IEP s you take away from the board members paychecks. The board members don t take kindly to your child needing extra services. My child has an IEP for speech therapy. Kinetic Academy requested a meeting which I attended. At this meeting I meet with Bri and she asked me why I wanted my kids to attend Kinetic Academy. First I said, I have heard teacher dedication is wonderful. She quickly told me the teachers are very busy and cannot offer any extra time to students. Whole-group instruction is all they have time for. Teachers don t have time for individual, it's simply not an option due to limited resources. Next I said that I liked the Spanish and Art classes. She said due to my child s once a week speech therapy he would have to miss all Spanish and Art classes. When I further presses her, she refused to answer why my child couldn t attend these classes the other 4 days of the week. I could write a book on how I was treated and how Kinetic Academy staff continuously put down my child for have special needs. I realized after the meting, they didn t schedule the meeting to help my son. The meeting was scheduled so they could put me down as a parent and bully me into not attending their school. It makes me very sad to know that a school claiming to be there for children, clearly has a paycheck ahead of child welfare. If your child has no special needs, this may be a good placement for them. If you child has any special needs, weather it be gifted or challenged, I would never recommend Kinetic Academy. Kinetic Academy has brought nothing to my family but sadness and heartbreak. I would not recommend this school if you care about your children and their education.
