This school has gone downhill quickly over the years. We have seen a decline in our children's learning and increased anxiety. More bullying by staff and students. Administration covers up anything that unpleasant.The new admin does not discipline and students are physically abused and bullied. Principal tells the bullying student to sit in her office for 10 min offers the student a huge. Then let's the student go back to the class . Even if that student had just thrown a chair, stabbed someone with a pencil, hit a student in the face with their boot... All the while the parents of the student who got injured is never called. The teachers either do nothing because the principal won't do anything to back then up or just watch and laugh. Many teachers are so rude to students it is astounding. The students are not learning anything that is not on the state test. Math and Language Arts... but only if it's on the state test. Writing, Handwriting skills and spelling are not taught. I am sending my children to a different district. We have had enough of the darkness that the school portrays after having addressed this issue many times. Good staff leave every year and are replaced by the clique or unqualified people that will just go along."Head in sand" is the theme for many community members. They don't go into the school and actually see things. They believe the facade of the newsletters and fake smile and waves by the principal.Find a better school environment for your elementary child.

This is a great school. Don't let one persons experience turn you away. Ive known generations of families from Waynesville and they're all wonderful, good hearted people. I've never heard anything bad about the school system until reading the other review on here. Waynesville is a great place to live and raise a family.

Their answer to bullying is to ignore it completely and coddle aggressors while telling my child to document any offenses, just to do nothing.
