2043 Plan in Laurel Homes Addition by Sheryl Homes, Inc.
Altus, OK 73521

Not too bad, could communicate better with the students.

The aftercare and front administration team lack the ability to handle parent situations regarding safety and communication with professionalism

This school has great staff and students. The staff works hard to ensure success with EVERY student that walks through the doors!

Overall I think it’s good good school system, but a few things could be worked on. First of all, I feel nervous walking in the halls because I’m afraid that someone will touch me inappropriately. I know it’s not likely, but it happens often to other kids. The teachers aren’t often paying attention to what the kids are saying in the halls. There is some pretty bad stuff. I know it’s “normal” in middle schools, but it shouldn’t be. For example, some of the cross country girls got catcalled by the football players. My friend went to the principal, but nothing really happened afterward. Another thing is the agenda situation. I understand why the teachers want to moderate the bathroom usage, but the teacher should be able to recognize how much a certain person uses the restroom after a while. I agree with being organized, but I think they are a bit extra. Finally, it’s really expensive to get things here. This past year, it was $35 for a yearbook! I think that’s a lot of money for a book of pictures. Getting into dances and games cost money too. If the school wants to treat us, then we shouldn’t have to pay. Think about it like this: if I gave you a pie, I wouldn’t expect you to pay me for the sugar that I used for it. There are a lot of good things the school has to offer, like good education and extracurricular activities. Please put this into consideration.

Our experience has been wonderful! Our daughter has experienced excellent teachers and a positive learning environment.

Will Rogers is the very best elementary school in Altus, OK. Mrs. Nobles has been the principal there for many years and I think she does an outstanding job keeping students motivated and safe. Both my children have been to this school. The teachers show so much interest in each child. They genuinely want each child to succeed. I have a special needs child and they have worked with us continually to improve and support my son's education and well being. They have just added more security to the entrance into their school with all the schools being on a higher alert with recent schools being in the news. Will Rogers open their doors to parents with lots of parent-child activities and concerts for each grade throughout the year. I highly recommend this school. I can't say it enough, the teachers here are of the highest caliber. The staff makes this school A+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been the worst school experience we have had so far for our child. Some of the teachers are supportive, but most seem to prioritize punishments for the most minuscule “infractions” over actually teaching our child anything. Our child is a straight A student but seems to be targeted by the leadership at this school. The communication is non existent. My child was held in the office for over 2 hours and lied to by the VP. She told our child she was calling his parents and the additional emergency contact. All of which had no missed calls whatsoever. The VP is rude and informal and seems to lack the intelligence to make any kind of calculated disciplinary decisions. The principal is nice but it seems that the VP runs the school. My child had absolutely loved school up to this one. He dreaded going to school near the end because of the useless leadership staff at Altus Intermediate. If at all possible DO NOT send your kids to this sad excuse for an educational institution. Absolutely terrible.
