I am not sure what the school is now my last child graduated 3 yrs ago . But my daughter was prepared for college. She has graduated college and is in her masters program as are most of the friends she had while attending HSHS. She is 24. Whenever the school gets good staffing they magically get promoted or moved. As if the school has been set up as a proving ground and the children there be damned. If the school is failing it due to the failing of the school board the adults in charge of making sure they are prepared. The school was overcrowded when my son was there So it’s not beyond thought that it is still wildly overcrowded now. Are any schools on the west end this crowded ? They aren’t . I attended schools in the west when I was young I have first hand experiences of the vast differences in how the kids are treated from one side of the county to the other . It is the failing of the people in charge . Not the children they are children .

man this school is very understaffed also my sons carrots had mold and he said he saw a rat in the kitchen and a fire I would not recommend

My granddaughter went here for 2 1/2 years. In her 8th grade year she became a victim of being bullied. Her Mother went to the principal and assistant principal. With no help from either of them she contacted the School Board. My daughter pulled my granddaughter out until the school board contacted her. They said that the principal and assistant principal Would be calling to set up an appointment to meet with both of them. She got the call the following day from the principal that they wanted to meet the next day. My daughter and grand went and the principal nor the assistant principal never showed up for the meeting he set up. My granddaughter’s 8th grade counsellor was there and apologize for the other two not being there. My granddaughter was bullied because she made friends with a girl that nobody liked. She at one point had 15 girls that were going to beat her up. One girl who was in one of her class threatened to set her hair on fire and to cut it off. The saddest part is that a lot of the girls were friends with my granddaughter before. My granddaughter said to me “ I’m not afraid of their words and I’m not afraid to fight 1 if I had to but I can’t fight 15!!!” So making friends with someone who doesn’t have many at this school seems to be an issue with some students that think bullying is okay! And where is the Principal? Sitting in his office playing on his phone??????Choose another School NOT ELKO MIDDLE!!!!
