I was a student athlete, I graduated in 2022. I had a great time at Shadle park and and thankful I went there.

While the PTA is very strong at this school the focus is academia only, the concept of teaching a love of learning, active play, and even recess is once a day for all grades. Zero elements are in place to support children with bullying and working through problems since the efforts are mostly test scores and meeting standards. Each kid hated school severely after attending and won't go back. Several parents I've talked to have had similar experiences. The admin needs to change before this school can thrive.

Pauline Flett Middle School has been an incredibly frustrating experience. Communication is poor and inconsistent, and getting a clear answer from anyone feels nearly impossible. Instead of working together to support students, staff often deflect responsibility and point fingers.The academics are also disappointing. Performance is below average, and it shows in the lack of support and follow-through when students are struggling. There is little sense of urgency to actually help kids improve.The lack of accountability from both teachers and administration is concerning. When issues come up, they are not handled with care or urgency, leaving students without the support they need.A school should be a place where kids are supported and set up to succeed. That has not been our experience here. I would not recommend this school to families expecting strong communication, accountability, or solid academics.
