Glade Run Lutheran Services

★rosie

i went here for 12 entire years and it was fine up until the last. there are several staff there that were horribly unprofessional, rude, and overall terrible. Chuck and Teri were the worst of it, but Chuck got special treatment because he'd been there for a long time. He did nothing but raise his voice, ignore the needs of kids in the class, and act disrespectful. Sometimes him and the TA would seemingly go out of their way to start issues. At the time of me being there the vice principal was a similar way, he would make issues of small things and then as soon as he was called out on it he'd instantly backtrack and act like it was never an issue Most of my anger issues during that entire year were strictly and only due to those 3. Unprofessional, unfair, unhelpful, and disgusting.

I was there many years ago. That place not only made me a better person but saved my life. I dont know were i would be today if not for this place. I had so many good times there. The stuff were like family I never had and always wanted.

Ok so I can't speak on what other people had to deal with while being here but honestly I loved it. They tried so hard to help me. I went between the years of 2010 and 2013. I recall a lot of the staff and my favorites mostly nicknames were "B-new" and Mr. Kulp. I was one of the 100s of troubled children here and really loved the horse barn. I hope the staff I speak of are still here doing good work. I'm sorry so many of you had bad experiences. I had fond memories of the RTF.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They claim to over services and treatment that none of their staff is trained to perform. At the first sign of any trouble, they will shut your kid off to the ER because they don’t know how to handle it. Doctors at the hospital recommended we take our loved ones ANYWHERE ELSE other than Glade Run- they are notorious for using inappropriate tactics to gain control over these kids, and when that doesn’t work, they threaten inpatient. They cause MORE anxiety and depression. Some of the reviews on here are not even real former patients 😂 do not be fooled. If you love your child find ANYWHERE ELSE

This place was wonderful in a lot of ways, but it can be kind of hard to understand, especially for young kids. I had one traumatic experience however, in which a staff member named "Mr. Cory" (yes we call the staff by their last names) put me up against a wall and yelled at me a bit. That was maybe about 4-5 years ago if I'm remembering right. I have been here for about 5 years or a little more, and mostly it's good. I had a 1-on-1 named "Ms. Kathy". She was very understanding of my autism and she genuinely enjoyed being with me and others. She even told me stories about her childhood, most of which were, and still are, interesting. The staff in the ASD hallway are very kind and respectful for the most part. I was in the classroom A1 for pretty much the whole time I was here, if only I could tell you how friendly the kids and staff are. As for the food, we don't have a built in lunch room, we have to walk to it, which is halfway across the campus. And a lot of the food is good if you want to try it, but half of the kids eat and don't eat it. Next of the topic is freedom. Most of the time I was here, I didn't like how much the staff was basically telling me to "quiet down" or "stop it or we're gonna go out of the room." That, however was when I was in A2 mostly, in A1 they only said that if you're being disrespectful. Another issue is how they make you say the "Jaguar Pledge", which is basically a pledge to the sanctuary theme and saying "be accountable, safe and kind". And you have to go to a lot of the classes, if not all of them. You don't really have a choice. A lot of the classes I should mention are in the room itself, like your homeroom teacher's class. The other classes are outside, or in the gym. Classes that are outside of the school and gym are plants and animals. And if you refuse to go to any of the classes I just said, you'll be taken out for a "break", or fancy talk for going to the side room they have available. You have no locker, only putting your bag right next to your desk. And if you're lucky, the desk will have a hatch so that you can put your books in. Other then that, I have mixed feelings about a lot of other things. The thing I love the most is that at some point, you'll go outside. Either to the sensory playground, or the side park. I hope my review will help those who either just want a review or the school, or the parents who are thinking about sending their kids to the school!
