I am so very happy my kids are in ur schools cause they are learning so much. Keep up the good work. If you nedd anything let me know please. Thanks, Shirley Grigsby

We had been homeschooling, but after falling upon hard times and not having a finished home in which to unpack and set up our school materials, I reluctantly enrolled two of my children in the Waldron Middle School. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. My children thrived there. My daughter joined cross country and archery and maintained almost straight A's, and made friends. My 6th grade son, who was 4-5 years behind his peers in reading/writing skills and in math, made phenominal progress just in the first semester! He joined band and the car club as well as going to tutoring after school 3x/wk. And he has maintained all A's & B's with the exception of one high C. When his reading class took their semester final test, my son got the only A! He has also made a good friend, and has had no bullying (which he would in some places just because he's overweight or because he doesn't have many nice clothes). I will also add that when 3 students had a fight and one threatened to shoot up the school, the threat was taken seriously and the problem swiftly dealt with, with the problem makers arrested. The teachers did a great job of keeping fears down and making sure everyone felt safe and stayed safe. Whenever I had a concern, the teacher of that class would call me to discuss, and they were always very professional, caring, understanding, and passionte about teaching kids. The school counselor was also a great source of support for us.
