Was a student here from second to my first half of 9th grade. Cant say what its like now because that was over 15 years ago. But most of the teachers back then would slam students choke of suffocate them during restraints. If a kid was truly mentally ill most teachers didnt care. There was one or two that did but reaching out to them was nearly impossible. If a child truly needed help they didnt receive it they got restraints and constant rug burns. I remember having rug burns throughout the school year that wouldnt heal until schools out. The principle was one of the only ones who cared enough to listen.But unless nearly every teacher who worked there 15 years is replaced this place will harm your child physically emotionally and educationally. The math for example in second grade to eighth grade is at most only a few years apart. Yet ninth grade they got pre algebra which should be taught in seventh. And in seventh theyre still teach elementary level multiplication and division.The entire pep system at least back then. It promoted child abuse in the form of physical emotional mental and educational abuse. And from the other reviews it does not seem like anything has changed in the last 15 years.

Ive been going to Hopewell for 5 years. And Ill never forget what I saw here. I saw children getting slammed on the floor. They restrain us so hardly that we cant breathe its sad. I got let down so many times its actually crazy. This staff member slammed a metal door in my face. On my last day at that school. Next day I was going to my new school and I found out Hopewell didnt do anything to set up any transportation when they told me and my mom it was set up. Ive never seen my mom that angry at adultsMy mom never yells at adults. But she did and so did I. Do not bring ur kid here

Ive been a student at p.e.p. hopewell for 2 years now and this year is going to be my 3rd year at this school and since Ive been there i noticed a lot of issues with this school. Now this is a long list but i think it does have a lot of valuable information. So read all of it if u can. Enjoy1. The school is understaffed. Now i dont know if any of this is going to change this year or any time soon but Ive been hearing a lot of complaints about being understaff. Mostly from teachers and some people who work with p.e.p. told my parents about this issue. The reason for this i heard is that a few Centers closed down and the sent most of the kids to hopewell. Unfortunately the staff wasnt fully prepared for it and its been choas a couple of staff wich i overheard complaining about being overworked.2. This 2nd one kinda goes with the first. Staff being overworked. Like i mentioned before staff are being overworked i hear this thrue teachers and you can just basically tell by walking in there and taking a look around. Matter of fact this one time i walked out my class there was a kid crying wich is normal at these types of places and a teacher was watching over him but you can tell this guy was very anry sorry cant say pied on reviews and he pushes this kid back into the wall just a couple of times in a rage screaming at him and then runs out yelling I CANT DO THIS so another staff had to take his place.3. Incompatance. Now i know at this point Ive been saying a lot of stuff about the staff and before i go any further i would like to say that thre are some good techers in this building but a good amount of the people working there are pretty incompatant. A lot off the time kids are running around on there own with no one watching them. Now i know earlier i mentioned that it was understaffed and that could create the same free roaming kid problem but to be honest a lot off the people working there dont even try. I know this because certain people are always asking my teachers to go find there kids and the whole reason why kids manage to get out of thier classrooms is either because there just too lazy try to stop them or theyre afraid of thier own students. Likefor real a lot of these classrooms are disorganized as hec. Another thing i wanted to mention is that dont even think half the who work there arent properly trained i mean these are some ruff kids they are dealing with and it seems most of the time they just let themselfs get walked on.5. Now this has already been long enough so this 5th one is going to be a mashup of a couple of different of issues so here we go. THE LUNCHES ARE TERRIBLE Im sorry but this is one of my pet peeves about schhols in general but these ones p.e.p. schools have gross lunches like some literal low quality food. The mash potatoes are mush the fruit cups have hair in them the pancake bread things literally taste like tums and for there burgers the add burned markes to them to make them looked like they where cooked on the grill when in reality they use the same technique that B.K. uses. I brought that up and of coures they tell me that thats never going to change for the fact that central office doesnt listen which brings me to another point is that my teachers are talking about is the miss communication the schools keep having with the so called higher ups a.k.a. thier bosses a.k.a. central office and that it takes them forever to updated thier centers for new rules n paperwork stuff. AND MY LAST AND FINAL COMPLAINT IS THAT- the education SUCKS like for real Im in 10th grade and Im getting work that a 3rd grader would get also half the time my class no joke plays movies. Seriously one time my teacher put on wonder woman for a history class lesson about ww1 and where sitting hear watching this movie till the end of the day. I dont go to school to be in a movie theater thats ridiculous.If you have a kid who has mental health problems dont send him to this school.

My daughter has been attending this school for 7 years... the first few years was great I didnt have issues with her and the school they COMMUNICATE very well... last year towards the end is when things started going down hell... she was able to leave school and no one notified me then this year she has left school was let out the building by the assistant principal then left multiple other occasions she gets hurt at the school and they dont notify the parents.They are very understaffed... and they have a big lack of concern for children and there safty. Just yesterday she left out of the classroom and was hiding from the staff in the basement called me to tell me where she was and there were 3 staff looking for her. When I called to inform them of where she was they couldnt tell me how long she was missing other then there was 3 people looking for her. My child is not a angel by any means she has behavior problem thats why she attends this kind of school and with that being said they should be more attentive to the children in that school not only my daughter but the other children as well.... they leave from the building alot and I have personally brought them back.... when I seen them.The more staff is needed. Better staff at that school.
