Students are very bad they don't listen and some teachers are not meant to be teachers

Every time I've visited campus, the staff is super inviting and supporting of the students and families. I've attended family events this year such as a movie night, fair, and a Fall Festival. Nice growing community.

As a campus leader, I will say I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the involvement, support, input, and friendships with our Bunche community (parents, staff, nearby neighborhoods, churches, etc) in our recent efforts to turn some things around and build community. In just one semester, we’ve had a fair, a tailgate party, movie nights, and DJs on campus thanks to the help of our dedicated staff & community. Thank you.

Horrible. The staff is simply there for a check, not the children. If a child tells a teacher that they don’t feel good you would assume they would have the nurse take a look at them but no, apparently children don’t know how they feel and their parents can check if they’re running a 103 degree fever all day long in school when they get home, malnourished. Ralph Bunche Elementary in Midland, Texas needs to be shutdown for good or a completely new faculty.

My three children began at Bunche the very first year after construction. The experience has been wonderful. The teachers have been very accessible and have always responded to any concerns. The campus is first-rate and features every high-tech teaching aid. The Smart Boards are something right out of a science-fiction novel. Too bad the good kids can't go clap the erasers from the blackboard. But I would have rather had the ability to choose which internet site or movie would appear onscreen. The cameras and secure access put me at ease knowing my kids are safe.

This principal had been at the school where my older daughter went several years ago and she was good. She workd with parents and really turned the school around. This school opened 3 years ago and it is AWEFUL. She has no discipline except for the few white kids. I'm Hispanic and my kids think they can do what they want there cause they see their friend not get in trouble for anything. Teachers are frustrated and leaving in a mass exodus this year. The main disciplinarian on that campus is a male 6th gr teacher and he's leaving too. Its a shame. Because he is one of the few that truly makes a difference in the kids. My son knows he cares. Also the principal only cares about scores. She dont care about whats going on in the kids lives.
