This middle school is a joke. The administrators do not care about teachers or vulnerable students, and it shows in how things are handled day to day. This district has no idea how to run schools or manage staff, and morale is at an all-time low because of it. They waste money on useless expenses like ESS while classrooms struggle with real needs that go ignored. A friend of mine worked at Denton ISD, and one of the first things they asked when she started was whether she wanted to donate money to the district, which tells you everything you need to know about priorities. Good teachers are leaving, problems are being brushed aside, and nothing seems to improve. It is frustrating, disappointing, and honestly unfair to the students who deserve a much better environment to learn and grow.

My son attended Wilson now Nette Shultz graduating from it the year of the name change. He had dsylexia and is slightly on the Autistic Spectrum. It was a hard slog. In general his teachers were top notch, but as is the case ...a few bad apples. He did well in kindergarten and then got into first grade where his teacher a wisened old veteran who clearly retired on the job. He learned nothing that year and grew to loathe going to school. His second grade teacher, Mrs. Smith was one of the highlights of the school. She figured out he was dyslexic --- something his first grade teacher should have suspected. I had put him in sylvan and they tested and confirmed it. Once he was taught how to handle Dyslexia he did better in school, but he was about a year behind for several years due to the lost 1st grade year. I had a private tutor (a special ed teacher from another school) tutor him for an hour a week every summer for 5 years to catch him up with his class. Most of his other teachers at the school were solid, but he did have another dud teacher before he got out who made a point about Student responsiblity --- basically her way of covering not wanting to reach the standard of the other teachers. My son went on to Strickland Middle school and is now an A&B student in high school taking an honors course in science every year. Most of his success is due to the majority of teachers at now Nette Shultz who were soild, if not strong teachers.My two cents though are if you get a line of poop about teaching your kids personal responsibility at the start of the school year, try to get your kid into one of the other classes. That is a teacher that will let your kid sink and never communicate his struggles to you.

Dictatorship & Authoritarian, if you aren't part of the circle you are out. Parents voices aren't allowed to be heard, only the Principal & APs. Everyone else's opinions, whether your a teacher student parent or other staff, doesn't count. Do research on the school. Find a better school to educate your children.
