Administration is hostile when you have questions. Poor professionalism in front of students by Dr. Moore and teachers/guidance counselors do not like to be bothered. They become defensive if called out for not following IEPs and rather shame you than form a partnership.

This school has teachers who act like they are the same age as the students. Kids don't need to know what their teachers did when they were young. Teachers are always absent. Some teachers are good, but some are bully's. The Principle is a bully himself. He doesn't like parents to help unless he asks. He is very demanding with is "its his way or the highway" attitude. If you are new to the community expect the family that has been here since birth to be chosen for all the awards and picked to play sports. Its a small town "who you know" type of school. The whole school district is this way. If you have a complaint you can go to the school board all you want and nothing will be done. Out of all the schools my children have attended the schools in Wayne County are by far the worst!

So we moved here from San Antonio, Tx. We tried coming to Goldsboro just like anywhere else with a positive outlook. The most disappointing thing was the schools that both our children attended for the time we were stationed here. Being a military family or one that moves around a lot due to a parents job makes it even harder to find the right fit for your children. I will say we got spoiled in San Antonio but in a good way. At Tommy's road they don't seem to have anything that makes children want to be at school. We are strict on our children, they are raised like we were to respect your elders etc. However if you want to join the military then please do when you are of age but not in Kinder-5th grade. The office staff was what I avoided at all cost except for one lady who always spoke and seemed to love her job even if she didn't want to be there. I wish I could say the same for others. They don't check id's to make sure the right student is going with the right parent. It would be nice to have room moms and more parent involvement, special events for pta members, field day was horrible in my opinion. I love laying out and sitting out in the sun, but at the beach or pool not in 80 something degrees for two hours while each grade for that day does what they signed up for. What happened to everyone doing something all at the same time and rotating it out. With all that said I could say so much more that I was unpleased about. Very disappointing all around with both schools that our two attended the few years we were here. Beyond excited to be moving. Good luck to whomever checks out this school and your children attend.
