This, this this. I live in the neighborhood.
I'm the poster whose kid was fine under an IEP way back when.
This exact post could have been been written then, when there was a different principal and different teachers. Which brings me back to my point: it's always been this way at Nottingham regardless of principal or teacher. The constant is the parent population. They are impossible to please and always have been.
If your kid was fine (if you're actually telling the truth), good for you. Many many kids were not. Not going to out my kid or the many others who were far from fine. The admin was and is notoriously bad for kids with IEPs. Those who know, know.
The satisfied ones aren’t the vocal ones.
Your one positive experience does not negate the many negative experiences that other families have had. Just because you got lucky with one kid doesn't mean others didn't meet with real barriers. That's what's so strange, you assume because your kid was ok that the other families were just complainers. Not true at all.

I would not expect parents to be inclusive to a kid with behavior issues. No one wants to deal with that. If OP’s kid is just quirky, then they will be fine. What kinds of services do they need?

I think you also need to consider how small Nottingham is. Its hard for some kids with IEPs because the parents are... interesting to say the least. If you kid has any behavioral challenges in the classroom, parents are not always inclusive. That can happen anywhere but if there are 2 classes per grade in some cases you may want to consider the social apsects.

It was fine for my kid with a learning disability iep. I don’t think autistic kids fit in well in public school. Better to be in a private, specialized school. Not everyone can afford that though.

And especially for such a small school. Its the smallest neighborhood elementary, with the LOUDEST parents.

My kid had an IEP, the school respected it and implemented it, and the kid was fine. That's what I mean.
