This school bullies children and their parents. Environment is not safe. Constant physical violence. Aggressive policeman on site, loud and verbally abusive to kids and parents. Lots of kids get pushed, punched, pinned to the wall by bullies and nothing is ever done to punish the agressors. Dangerous environment for young children. Very weak educational programm. No history or computer science at 5th, 6th grades. Concerning. Educational level is bare minimum. Sometimes you get some good teachers here, but the administration is absolute untrained disaster.

Fogarty Elementary has an amazing and talented group of teachers. They collaborate and make the best of the resources they have available.

Military family, with normal expectations. This school is completely worthless for any advanced students. Not only does the student have to attend classes with kids 2-3 years older but they also have little to nothing for them by the time they reach their Junior year- its college classes at that point. If you want rude, uncaring staff who play favs with connected families children, fake Christians, lack of educational options, and kids who talk like sailors - well this school just might be your golden ticket !

We recently moved to the State and the City. As a former teacher for 12 years, I know understanding what teaching involves and how challenging it is. I always give the teachers and administrators the benefit of the doubt. My daughter, who has ADD/ADHD started attending school this year and her first semester she did very poorly. We blamed he mostly because since we were knew, I didn't monitor. The disappointing thing is that only one teacher contacted us about her grades. One I contacted, basically told me she just graded their assignments/tests and gave input there. There is hardly no communication between school and home. Zero, except when they miss school (this means money lost for the district). If the teachers are not motivated, administration doesn't care why should students care? Having worked in almost all Title 1 Schools this was not the case with me or with the schools I worked. Very disappointed about the state of our educational system. My daughter has done well the second semester. Unfortunately, this is the only Jr. High School here so but I will consider a private school next year.
