My daughter went to Truman in 2009/2010, her teacher was Mrs. Sitzes. Great teacher! Now my youngster daughter will start this coming year 2011/2012 , she can't wait to start since she was involved in some of the extra activities that the school provided for the students and she was able to participate with her sister. I hope Mrs. Sitzes can be her teacher. I love the away the entire staff works and respect everyone. My first daughter left there reading very well.

A small class consists of twenty students. The average class size is twenty-four or twenty-five. The common core standards require the children to constantly be drilled and tested and the curriculum is not very engaging. The standards require quite a lot of homework to maintain decent grades. We as parents are often not notified on what the testing consists of or the standards are children are required to master until report cards are recieved. Communication between administration and parents could use improvement.

This is the WORST school in all of the Farmington R-7 School District. Most Teachers will not help the student. The principals will not do anything about bullying. No stall doors in boys bathrooms. About 45% of the students in this school do tobacco products or other drugs. Multiple kids have reported that kids are doing the drugs but none of the administrators do anything about it. They are taking the doors off of the bathrooms. Fights break out about twice a week. Kids get ISS for small things or doing nothing at all but the other kids who do bigger things don't get in trouble at all! The buses are like were the drugs get passed around. Bus drivers do deal with the problem though. The bathrooms are nasty and the E hallway bathroom is always closed do to kids breaking everything. Teachers will not help your student(s) out. My student at FMS has turned in about 17 papers into his science teacher and he hasnt entered it into the gradebook so he is failing his science class. My reccomonddation? Take them to Central School District for 7th and 8th grades!

I wish I didn’t have to even pick one star. This school is terrible. It was bad when I was going to 9th and 10th grade and has just gotten worse as the years go by. It’s great if you’re rich but terrifying because of the bullying if you’re poor. The teachers don’t do anything if they know the child’s parents or if the child’s parents have a lot of money but God help your kid if you’re not. It’s even worse on the bus. I ended up homeschooling my child after taking him out of this school. He became despondent, hopeless, and suicidal from being left to the tender mercies of this school system.

We will be new to the area and was wondering if your schools are like here in Dexter, Mo?

Not very happy even after talking to teachers.And the Vice Principle seemed like he was to busy to interested in what we are talking about

I enjoy the special activities that the children do at Roosevelt. They have special reading days on weekends, reading counts, special days with teachers based on performance, special days with the principle based on performance and many opportunities for the children to see their achievement.
