My daughter has attended Melwood from kindergarten - 2nd grade and I must say that the experience as a parent sending my daughter to school for her first years, has been a nightmare. This is the worst school and I would not recommend to absolutely anybody. They are completely unorganized, there are extremely too many students to 1 teacher, & the cleanliness of the school is just sad. Teachers are overwhelmed, they hate their jobs, the interactions I’ve had with teachers and staff are absolutely baffling. The only person with professionalism in this school is the new principal. The administrators have put my daughter on the bus 3x and she had a yellow tag attached to her backpack her entire duration at Melwood that states she’s a car rider. However I had to find my daughter and pressure them to find her at dismissal several times because they had no idea where my child was. Each time she was on a BUS ! One time about to pull off and go God knows where ! At the time she was 6 years old and completely unaware of where we live, bus stops/routes/ etc. and the school was completely careless. One incident within the last year is her teachers being completely overwhelmed that they failed to send out requested paperwork, homework, or even invitations to award ceremonies. My daughter received honor roll 3x last year and one teacher failed to send out the personal invitation so we missed the awards ceremony for my daughter. She was very disappointed to not see me there. While my daughter was in this class, she would sometimes forget her backpack or homework in her cubby. Her teacher would not remind her and treat her like she’s in middle school. He told me i need to come pick the homework up everyday, bc he essentially doesn’t have time to make sure his student has her homework before leaving the classroom. lol I removed my child from that teachers class and they put her in the 2nd grade directors class. Which was an even worse nightmare. She was just as overwhelmed and also failed to tell us about the awards ceremony. Each parent is supposed to receive an invitation to come to the ceremony for their child and we didn’t get them. The teacher told me that I can watch my daughter on zoom. Just unprofessional and unfortunate these are the teachers responsible for our kids. Choose a better school. This isn’t it.

they suspend u for the most dumbest reason ever & the school has spiders everywhere the school is just dirty itself

4 years at Wise and no regrets. The leadership has shown great improvement under Dr. Washington. While there is always room for improvement, she has been quick to recognize the areas of concern and act on it.
