I agree that there is little attention paid to college prep. It is the Maury County Board of Ed. (Eddie Hickman) who is responsible for placing classes at the schools. They are available at other schools in the county, just not ours. The principal knows full well what we are lacking. His boss says

It is our job as parents to make requests. I suggest requesting them in writing to the Maury County School Board (everyone), as well as Mr. Eddie Hickman, Mrs. Mary-Ruth Campbell, Mr. Rick Roninson at the central office, Mr. Quirk, Mr. Harris, Mrs. Brown at our school as well as the PTA and Academic Boosters. Get involved and make sure your requests are known. Read less

While I love the idea of a K-12 school, I'm not sure the children learn all that's needed to carry them over into a smooth transition for college. My children, who had very high grades, taking the college path, did poorly on the ACT. Please explain how that can occur?

I graduated from Culleoka 4 years ago and I absolutely loved it. I moved from Michigan and I found that the students were very welcoming and the teachers were very nice. Coach Howell and Mrs. McWilliams are both incredible teachers. We definately need more like them. Not only are they fun, but they make

Im terrible at math and he helped me and never made me feel dumb or incompetent. I do agree with the negative feedback about the principals, except Coach Harris, he has always been very nice and helpful. I am proud to have graduated from Culleoka Unit School and I know many of my peers are, too. Almost every single person Ive graduated with went to college and is doing well! Read less

I was absolutely amazed by the unprofessional and unorganized office staff,principal, and teachers at Culleoka School. After my second year here our family has realized that it was a terrible miscalculation. The first year was full of disappointments, no playground equipment, text books, and limited

Sure there are a few good teachers on staff. But after our parent-teacher meeting I left very unsatisfied and concerned about my children's continued education. This school does not influence the children with expectations of continuing on to college or give them the proper tools to do so. We love this area but are moving to insure our children's future.

I am a parent of students in Culleoka school. I am very displeased with the principal and office staff.

Over the past several years, I have seen this school evolve from a great school that educated great leaders into a lower functioning school with poor standards.
