My child has been there since kindergarten and was doing great. His grades were A’s and B’s. This school year 2017-2018 2nd grade has been terrible for my child. He went from being a top student to barely making it. He’s always been a great kid and never gets in trouble. He’s actually had two yellows this school year so far. My sone told me one was for talking during breakfast and the next time he received one he told me it was for just looking around. Unbelievable!! So I contacted the school and asked to speak with his teacher (Ms. Phifer) she told me the yellow was because he was just sitting there not doing his class work and had been doing this a lot in class so she said gave him a yellow “to hopefully light a fire under his butt and get him moving”. I didn’t know how my child was doing performance wise until that day. She had never written a note home nor attempted to contact me in any way. She never asked him if there was a a reason why or if he needed help. I thought maybe he had ADHD but then remembered how well he had been doing the other years. So I asked my child if he needed extra help in which he replied yes. I contacted the school in hopes of getting him the extra help he needed and was told that they would try to set up an intervention plan to assist him but no one has contacted me about a plan since that conversation.
A week later I had to question his teacher about why she had given all of the other students with less than 4 yellows for good behavior, who had earned the right to attend the “Green Team Party “ their ticket but had not given one to my son. That was on a Monday and the party was coming up that Friday. My son was very sad and knew he earned the right to attend also. So I told him to ask his teacher ( Ms.Phifer ) about his pass because maybe she just forgot. He said he told her she had forgotten to give him his ticket. I waited until that Wednesday morning to speak to her. When I asked her about it her response was that "Oh it was just a joke I was playing on him”. Excuse me.. but this is not the kind of thing a teacher should be doing to any child especially a 7 year old!
Considering the number of students and staff this school has grown to, it still possesses a family friendly atmosphere. My child has been here since kindergarten and is now in 3rd grade. Mrs. Graham has been an integral part of her and my life since she got there. Always caring and going above the call to duty. She has offered and assisted my daughter with tutoring and been a great liaison between the classroom teacher and myself. Also, Mrs. Cooper has been a blessing as well and is fair. I would like to see more stability with staff and not such a big turn over every year but as long as Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Cooper stay, at least until my child graduates, I will be okay!! :)
This year, both of my children are still on their respective honor roles but the teachers are completely different from the previous year. They do not listen and are unfair. When asking why my child was punished for something that they know to never do, not one teacher or staff member would respond. They all, actually, avoided me and have not answered the question in 3 months. Every time I come to the school, they've changed rules without notifying the parents. I can't wait to find a new school.
So I contacted the office to inform them of what the teacher told me that morning. The assistant principal stated that she would look into it and give me a call back. She called back hours later to inform me that his teacher Ms. Phifer, told her she did it because she felt it would be better for him to stay in class and do work. So the assistant principal bought her story of course but did say that my child had earned the right to attend so he would. She also stated that she knew my son was a good kid and usually does exceptionally well in school so she would look into getting him the extra help he needed. It’s been a month and still no plan of assistance. This school used to be great but it has gone down.. teachers have left and are still leaving because they fill like they can’t provide the adequate amount of help the children need due to over populated classrooms (26-30 kids per teacher) and the lack to concern shown by administration. Do your child a favor and send him/her to a better school..I will be.
I put my son here after I heard so many good thing about them. My family experience was not good at all. My son was having issues focusing instead of giving me insight or resources to help him I was asked was he my only child!!!! Yes crazy right. My son was later diagnosed with ADHD and still the school had no resources to help us instead his teacher sent him to the "nurse" many days to lay there for hours because she didnt want to take the time to help him. The 'nurse' is really the secretary by the way. And I later found out my son teacher was a favorite so she got away with a lot even though she not a great teacher. If your child has problems that will need additional support I don't not recommend this school.
This school used to be fairly decent until the 2017-2018 school year. In the prior year, my oldest child was on the 'A' honor role with my youngest being on the 'A/B' honor role. Both loved the school and had fair teachers that were willing to listen to their students.
This school is amazing I attended 6st grade and half of 7th I will never forget you Mrs.Calvert Ms.Fraiser (some other teacher) and Mr.Javies, Ms.Mason (some other teacher)
