This school is extremely nasty. There are roaches everywhere. The custodians and janitors don’t even do a good job at cleaning the bathrooms. The staff locks most of the bathrooms which means you’ll have to go to another bathroom in a whole different hall. They stopped giving paper towels and brought in hand dryers that nobody asked for and it’s dirtier than using paper towels but they bought a brand new sink nobody asked for. The lunches are not even good and they made the cafeteria the only place where they have different menu items than the lines around the school. In the cafeteria they made it only one line which you’d have to wait in and it has so many students. I don’t see the point in having one line for the whole cafeteria where people cut you. You have to send a smartpass (electronic pass) to be able to go to the bathroom which is stupid because the district pays for that when they could spend zero dollars just having students make a paper pass. The teachers aren’t even looking at their computers half of the time so you’re going to have to ask them anyways. Also for the smartpass one student is allowed out at a time which is also stupid. This school also constantly stinks and it’s way too overcrowded.

My experience is they worry too much about the length of girls shorts than making sure the students are comprehending the lessons. If the students are smart and well organized they get the teachers attention but when they struggle and need help they can't be bothered.They will also embarrass your child unnecessarily so they feel shame on top of struggling. Oh and if your child gets pushed into a pole and cracks their head, instead of seeking immediate medical help to rule out a concussion they allow them to lay their head on their desk and close their eyes and just shoot you a message that you do not see in the sea of Parent Square messages instead of calling you.

Everyone talks about Reeves Elementary but the administrators here are a joke. The adults at this school are very cliquey because of the principals. Racism from the principals and there is not a lot of diversity here. The principal plays nice at first but you will slowly see her true colors as time goes on. Communication is not the best either. Things get swept under the rug and some teachers are not supported 100%. This school is not the best for minorities.
