5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m at a loss with how many stars to rate it tbh. There are some good things but when you have conflict with staff and you try to follow protocol as far as the chain of command for trying to address issues, things just basically get swept under the rug. Staff just seems to stick together and teachers treat your kids any way they please. My son told me about his art teacher the other day and was visibly uncomfortable going to the class. I communicated these things to the teacher and got absolutely nowhere because he lied. My son’s story was consistent. My daughter confirmed how rude this teacher is saying he yells at the class. There are some nice things but I just do not understand why they allow teachers to be nasty to the children. This isn’t the first time this happened either. Another teacher was known for being really mean yet when I complained about it and stood up for my daughter, I was treated like I was the problem.Parent Review3y ago - Reynolds Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEvery year I point out how unfair these ratings are to the population that this school serves. To anyone relying on these ratings please understand the high percentage of English language learners at this school. The school is a great place of diversity and opportunity. The staff is fantastic. Please visit before judging.Parent Review9y ago - McCaskey Campus

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt is hard to be capable with over 2500 students in attendance, over 300 staff members, a multitude of backgrounds but McCaskey pridefully embraces it with open arms. McCaskey takes in more students from different countries than a quarter of the US which is why it's test scores struggle. Admittedly, they are not only my Alma Mater but my employer now as well so I may seem bias. But as someone who has spent some of my hardest years in life there, I can say they saved me.
