This school would get mad over the little things that the students did , they are behind in they’re teaching skills the 3rd graders are just now learning addition and subtraction and 8th graders are learning about 6th grade work such as integers I only been here for a day and this school is not the school you think it is and they don’t have no fun activities for the students at all everything is about acedemics and they dont even teach right , they have no recess neither !!

I feel as if these children are being rushed into there activities and SHOULDNT be held accountable for the lessons that are being giving like givie them a chance to sink in the materials and work that they are being giving instead of moving quickly to the next activity knowing that they don’t have that lesson down pack

I also agree with the two other parents who said Mr. Curtis is very good for his boys. The girls, too. He really seems to care and goes the extra mile. As a parent, I am worried about the leadership of this school. The principal does not support her teachers and is very critical and hurts their efforts to help and teach the students.

As a new parent, I am impressed, My son came from a school that would give Joe Clark a run for the mone The entire staff cares, knows your child and will call you if needed for anything. I thoroughly agree with Mr.King about Mr. Curtis. An excellent teacher for male students. My son thought he could be charming, and get away with anything-not happening in this school. Mr. Curtis noticed he loved to read, and brought in books he took a interest in to encourage his reading beyond grade level.
