When my son began Cunningham the School was a mess and out of control with students on a road of Failure as they moved thru and onto Slater Jr. Parent Involvement was at a all time low or Not happening and Teachers Struggling with a I don't care attitude from students. The School Building look like shit with Graffiti and the surrounding of the school filthy with trash, broken glass and uncut grass. Since that time, we the Caring Loving Parents with the Caring Loving Teachers have worked hard to bring Community of Students back to our children. My Daughter started in the school last year not seeing the same school as my son did. Mr. Zona did a good work making the school more inviting and Important inside for the children with the Vocabulary Parade and the STAR Student Program became a beacon of Hope for the children day by day. The new principal is carrying on with those programs and the children are more proud of themselves then ever. Last spring I sat in my back yard with our local state representative Mr. Tobon to talk about raising Tip workers base pay and ended our talk mentioning how our Cunningham look like shit and that's what the students SEE every day as they enter the Building. I said the children of the school think it's Normal and feel NO Pride. I said if there is No School Pride, There is No Unity of the Students. The School needs to be there home, a place to be Proud, a place all will feel protected, a place they will protect. A place to earn and learn respect for each others Common, Equal Efforts. I want to say the Thank You HASBRO and Volunteers for the New Outside Paint on the building with the added Symbols' of Education and all the cleaning and Landscaping with added seating for children to sit around a tree. It's Outstanding Community Involvement after so many years of neglect. I find the school 10 times better now, we just need more parent involvement to keep the school safe and help keep the school area clean. Got it, Get it, Do it!

This isn’t the place to show your emotions, teachers will just ignore it and tell you that things happen, for example I told my math teacher my mom died, and she said “Everyone dies, but that’s what makes you stronger” no it didn’t, im 14 years old with a dead mother and I have to worry about missing work… You need a break? Don’t understand what that means. The principal sucks. You hate someone? “Well I hate some people I work with, but I deal with it“ like I don’t care, it’s simple, DONT KEEP THAT STUDENT IN THE SAME. CLASS!! I heard from my friend that the basement has black mold.. But my science teacher is the best teacher!

Horrible. My sister went here and she didn't learn what she needed to prepare herself for college. This made college courses extra difficult and keeping up was a struggle. This school should prepare it students better.
