Drummond Elementary School

"Counselor tried to force me to put my child on ADHD medication and when I told her that was a concern between my child’s doctor and I -she would bully me at IEP meetings and show up although I specifically asked that she not. The teachers would often use her to bully parents. Principal was friends with her and would allow the bullying. My son later told me that Carla (I think this was her name) the counselor would scream at him in the hallway to retaliate and told a private therapist the same. Pattonville is highly rated but I believe it’s more about the testing scores than it is parental experience. Parents are vital and have to work well with the school and trust them. When the school thinks that they can bully and play games with the parents …. they will. My son has done much better in a different district and is happy that we moved out of this district."

"My son just started summer school today. There was one line for all the cars and one teacher to let the kids out to the whole school. We were in line for 30 minutes and some people more. Traffic was backed up onto the nearest state road."

"No communication with the parent, the current nurse is probably the most unprofessional individual I have seen here. I have a Diabetic son who has specific doctor orders, she lost those papers twice and has had my son administer his own shot which he is not suppose to do unless given permission from parent or doctor. Which was never given nor asked for."

"Robert Drummond Elementary may be one the best place to go for you child. Keep in mind i went to the school as a child and the experience your child will have during his or her time there will be out of this world. have a nice day."
