The principal has no idea what he’s doing and goes on a power trip over his employees cause he doesn’t know how to communicate.

I am very disappointed in this school. My daughter and her family recently moved into the district from another state. Our grandson is in 3rd grade. He is quite intelligent and gets very good grades. This school was near to expelling him for non-compliance after he had been there for 2 months. (He takes his time making decisions and did not always understand what the teacher was asking him to do.) The only thing the school asked to have done to help him succeed in school was for my daughter and son-in-law to give permission for corporal punishment to be administered by school personnel. They would not try putting him in another teacher's classroom or having a helper work with him or work with them in any other was. And, he never had a recess. I do not expect young children to sit in a classroom for 3-4 hours at a time without a break. Perhaps this is one reason why Alabama school children don't test very well on the national level. This school needs help!

Wacoochee Elementary School is an awesome place to be! Great staff, great kids, and a great culture led by the principal, Mrs. Good. Wacoochee takes a lot of pride in helping the kids grow mentally, as well as academically throughout their experience. Mental health is atop the list when it comes to priorities for Wacoochee. Calm corners, teaching strategies, along with the therapy dog, Harper, are many of the strategies in place to create a warm, and nurturing culture. A+++ in my book!
