Only good teacher we had was Ms Teasly! Not enough supervision for the students! They don't even do the Pledge Of Allegiance!Kids are always swearing and on their phones...

This school is wonderful, accommodating, friendly and inclusive, and makes great efforts toward individualized academic achievement. Many of these reviews are old, and I can't speak to what this school was like 5-10 years ago but I can't recommend it enough in 2019. This is our third year at the school, and it just keeps getting better. The administration is fantastic, there is a school community coordinator who brings amazing programs and services to the school, we have had some of the best teachers here that we've EVER had, and there are many before/after school (FREE!) enrichment activity options, like cooking classes, choir, yoga, and more. We went to a predominantly white school by choice for the first four years of my children's school experience because we were afraid of the diversity at East Midvale, and the stories we'd heard about bad behavior (#WhiteFlight). We were blatantly wrong. My 4 children are learning compassion and understanding while getting the highest of academic experiences with teachers who have actively chosen to teach at a title 1 school. As a former teacher myself, this speaks volumes about the commitment level of the teachers here. They are some of the best! I hope everyone considering East Midvale will give it a try, see it's amazing goodness, and stay to make this school even greater!

Lack of adult/teacher supervision seems to be going on at the school. I'm at parent, and have had to let students back in to the school from the back where the portables are on 2 different days that I had to go to the school. No adults were around which is little scary considering there is a neighborhood right there in the back of the school area. My son was locked out of the school when he was going from his portable classroom to go use the bathroom inside. He panicked and then had to go all the way around to the front of the building, and then go in through the office. The staff wasn't very nice and asked him what he was doing coming in that way. There has to be a safe solution for this to protect our kids.

I think the supervision at this school is appalling! My granddaughter broke her arm just this past April on playground equipment. How? Lack of supervision. I was just informed that her younger brother, my kindergarten aged grandson just had his arm broken on the same playground, after a child fell on him. Now tell me, what was the other child doing to have fallen this hard on a younger child to have caused a fracture? It had to have been a hard fall or one that was with a great amount of force and impact. I'd suspect lack of supervision in this case as well. The school refused to pay for the medical bills for my granddaughter's injury, citing that my son and dau.-in-law had insurance. What a joke! Talk about irresponsibility! Now, the parents don't have insurance for my grandson, are in between insurance provider's coverage. Let's see what they offer this time! More than insurance, is the pain and suffering that these kids (went) and are going through all because they were not being fully supervised on that playground. Either take the playground equipment out, get more supervision, or hopefully face the legal wrath needed to countermand such irresponsibility! Concerned grandparent
