... Read more not trying hard enough is because we have to look at the bigger problem all the teachers dont feel as if they owe the children the same education that they have or feel as though i got mine its up to them to get theirs. I feel like no one cares about our children as a whole and its not their fault .But we as parents need to also stand behind and educate our children also because the bigget part of educating our children starts at home with love and support for our children.

The academic programs are okay. The availability of extracurricular activities are limited to band and reading. I don't recommend this school for any child.

I have put 2 out of all of my childrent through this school and presently have another child enrolled. My experience with Scarborough is that after my children left grammar school to go on to Scarborough there grades dropped drastically. Then once they enter high school their grades improved so drastically
... Read more that they became 'A' honor roll children. I cannot pin point exactly why there is such a difference. However, their demeanor toward school was totally different from the schools attended besides Scarborough. This year we have a new principal. Perhaps an improvement may happen. Textbooks were an issue in the past and the lack of homework given are reasons why these students are not challenged enough to pass up to their full personal potential. This is a new school year with new staff. I am looking forward to seeing if there are improvements. However based on my past experience with the schools faculty there has been apathy in my opinion with the faculty that I have dealt directly with on a one to one basis. If not apathy then a definite patronizing attitude in conferences. Overall, I would not choose to send my children to this school. I would prefer to send my children to Baldwin County Schools.
