"This school has been a terrible experience for my child and for myself as a parent. We moved from a great school where we experienced no problems with grades or behavior. After a year and a half at Weatherford, I was called into the office, where the vice principle and counselor suggested to me that my child seek behavioral help (i.e. Ritalin.) I thought this was a rash decision seeing as how I'd never even been called before. That's when they informed me that my child was being sent to the office on a semi regular basis, without even having a note sent home. I asked why I wasn't notified and was told they only involve parents as a last resort. A few more incidences occurred before I withdrew my child and enrolled in a different school where my child's "behavioral problems" seem to have magically disappeared."

"I was very disappointed with Ikard Elementary. The teacher/parent communication I experienced was horrible. I would write to my child's teacher in the assigned area in his notebook and would note get a responce back about important things, such as transportation changes. I had to contact the principal on many occassions when situations arised. My child was spanked without my permission, not following the rules in the handbook on the steps and guidelines when spanking. He was spanked simply because he kept saying no, calmly while sitting in chair. Inside of calming him down or trying to speak to him, he suddenly was spanked. My son got hurt twice while at son. Once in the classroom that led us to spending the evening in Cook's Emergency Room. Overall Ikard failed my child and I moved to place him in a different school. I would not recommend Ikard to anyone."

"are very biased and as a parent you have to intervene. If you don't live in a certain neighborhood, they place you in lower skillset class and are not given consideration for parts in school plays"

"I think this schools administration needs help. All they do is sit in their offices and make acusations against children. They need to be taken out of office! This school is soooo far behind academically that it is rediculous! I would suggest taking you children elswhere if you have a choice!"

"Academically this school is severly lacking! We moved here in the middle of the school year from Chicago and my daughter who was a little above average in Chicago all of a sudden became the genius of her class! She is in kindergarten and none of the other students can read or do basic math beyond 1+1. She never has any homework and complains that all they do is go to recess all day! They are learning things that she learned when she was 3 years old! Other than the fact the the children aren't learning anything I guess the school is okay. Nice staff..."
