4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe best part was the Special Education Unit and the English Department. The ninth grade academy is a mess along with that despicable Assistant Principal. He has no parental compassion and communication skillsOther Review9y ago - Bruce-Monroe Elementary School @ Park View

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in the headstart program for PK-3, so this is our first year with this school. There are many reasons why we are very glad we had the opportunity to enroll him on Bruce Monroe. First, because he is being educated in a bilingual, immersive environment, and after almost a year his Spanish is pretty good. Secondly, the school is small and very family oriented. All parents are pretty involved in the school's events and very active and interested in their kid's education. The staff is incredibly helpful, polite and approachable. I was surprised that they called all the students by their names. Almost every day, the director or the assistant director are at the school's door to greet the students as they come in. I have never dealt with them closely, but I heard other parents say that they are very friendly and take parents concerns very seriously. Thirdly, the teachers are extremely dedicated, very friendly and very well trained. My kid's English teacher got a Fullbright to study Pre-K playful education in Europe and his Spanish teacher got an important PCS award for his teaching and involvement with the community. Overall, we are very pleased with the school.Parent Review9y ago - MacFarland Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am the parent of an 8th grader at MacFarland and overall I have been pleased with my child's experience at the school. Yes, MacFarland has it's challenges like every other urban school across the country. But, the administrators, teachers and staff really do rise to the occasion in an effort to meet the kids where they are. I have seen the adults at MacFarland go the extra mile to help kids learn, grow and thrive. If your child can remain focused, pick their friends wisely and avail themselves of what is being offered, they can thrive.Parent Review1y ago
