We moved here from the Southeast last summer, and my daughter had her best year ever in school this year. She received terrific instruction from her teachers, who were also willing to help her after school when necessary. Her organization skills are poor and her grades plummeted 2nd quarter. Thanks to

They gave her specific suggestions to improve her performance, which she took to heart. By 3rd quarter, all of her grades were A's and B's. Her gifted Language/Literature teacher had a PHD and only 7 students in the class. She had to work hard, but she was excited about the process and happy to have such dedicated teachers. Read less

Eisenhower Middle School is a fantastic school! While there are some teachers who need to retire (and aren't there some everywhere?), overall the teachers really care about the students and what they learn. I think it's very unfortunate that the leadership of the school has recently changed because

I had children attend Eisenhower before she came and have had two go through since she came and the difference was amazing! Rather than the cold environment that was there before she came, the school was warm and inviting and you just knew by walking in that good things were happening! Some of the parents at Eisenhower are much too involved in the school and need to get a life! Read less

I am a student at eisenhower. I have not had a good experience at eisenhower. I was sent to the office, where I feel I have no chance to be treated fairly or with understanding! I believe that the principal and the vice principal are very uptight and are ruining an already good school with good students.

Because I am a teacher, I do know the ins and outs of the daily structure of this school. I think we strive to be the best for our students, but we can only go so far.

I grudgingly give EMS a '2' out of five, but I want to give it a 'one.' The school is a wonderful place but the parents are way, way to involved. I know parent involvement is necessary, but the parents at EMS go too far! It is not enough to meet teachers and confer with them about curriculum; these

And they will conspire to ruin the careers of any teacher that doesn't follow their corrupt plans to dominate the coursework of their own children. These people must be stopped, and control of EMS students' academic lives must be returned to the teachers. Read less
