My daughter started at this school in Kindergarten, and we had to relocate after her 1st month of 1st grade. The Kindergarten year went pretty well all around, but once she started 1st grade it was horrible. She came home sad almost everyday, and would only say that she had fun during recess. In Kindergarten she would talk about lots of different things she did and/or learned. In 1st grade, she would only talk about recess. I had NO communication from her teacher until 1 month after school started, and this was a phone call during which the teacher did nothing but complain about my daughter. This was with NO PRIOR COMMUNICATION about any issues going on. The principal did nothing. I learned from another parent that this teacher was putting my child out in the hall by herself as punishment, and that she would shame my daughter in front of the class. My daughter was also sent home on the wrong bus, because the teacher didn't check like she was supposed to. Luckily, the bus driver caught it and was able to meet up with the correct bus so my daughter could get home safely. I was very disappointed, especially since Kindergarten went well.

Chaney as a whole really needs to do better .I've received multiple pictures and videos from my son of him being the only kid in a class and even sometimes with no teacher present.He asked me, why does he need to go to school?If no one's there.Most of the teachers do not care. No one really takes anything serious there.We do love coach marlan and the girls basketball coach, that's about it. Absolutely no communication from the teachers unless my child is skipping class .When I try to email teachers, I get absolutely no response. Principles never in the office and not available.

There is no rating low enough. Poor leadership has driven McGuffey k-8 into the ground.
