They don't tell you its an alternative school! - Paraprofessional The Menta Education Group Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We do want to clarify a few points for accuracy. All applicants are made aware during the interview process that we are an alternative school setting. We are very transparent about who we serve and the supports in place, and each candidate is provided with both scenarios and a full tour to engage with our students before making a decision. This ensures that staff who join us know what the role entails and feel prepared and supported from the start. In terms of safety, while challenges can arise in any school serving students with unique needs, we have strong protocols and proactive strategies to maintain a safe and supportive environment. For example, while fire alarms were sometimes misused during the 2023–24 school year, new procedures put in place for 2024–25 have been highly effective in preventing this behavior. We are proud of our 97% staff retention rate going into the 2025–26 school year and the continued growth in both staff and student enrollment. This reflects the trust families and employees place in our mission. We remain committed to fostering a structured, safe, and compassionate environment where students and staff can thrive.
