Sumter P.R.E.P Academy

"They treat your kid like convicts, strip search everyday before school. Staff is rude. Horrible horrible school."

"This place is known around the district as “the bad school” for a reason. And yet they’re offended at being called “the bad school” despite going out of their way to prove why it’s called such a name. I’m talking teacher-led bullying of students, which the principal ignores or enables when he’s not participating in it himself. I’m talking teachers making fun of students in front of the whole class and letting the whole class join in on the mockery the way that was done to both of my sons. I’m talking about the principal, vice principal, and the so-called “student counselor” ILLEGALLY ganging up on my daughter — the three of them alone in a room with her — to insist to her that she doesn’t have ADHD (she was officially diagnosed when she was 9) and to harass her about it for 45 minutes minimum before she was able to get away to the phones where the nice front desk lady could help her call me to come get her. This school IS the bad school and I feel absolutely horrible for every child stuck with these power-tripping tyrants."

"a few people at this school treated me like i was less than garbage and i was falsely accused of having resentment against those people by the same people that made me feel unwanted/targeted/threatend now i see why some people have grudges against some of the student/staff who go to this school. its because they treat others way they want to be treated in return so what ever u do please just dont go here...."

"Clear expectations set. Structure oriented, staff friendly and readily available."
