I was very upset the way things were handled with my child..... He loved the school at first but then something happened with the teacher and he didn't want to go anymore.... when i would walk him to school he would cry so much and shake in fear...... i asked to have my son's teacher changed but they refused until i finally took him out and homeschooled him.....

What kind of school charges their students to pay for lunch? In other states we don’t do that… that is horrible. You guys starved children so bad that the kids asked strangers for help to pay of their debt

I am apart of a military family, so we move a lot. I came to this school and it felt like I was being punished for something. Nobody wanted to be my friend. The teachers had to put me with someone. I have been here for 8 months. I still only have that friend but she turned out to be a bad apple too. The teachers show favoritism towards students. They promote lots of events that kinda stink. Communication to my parents is awful they don't hear anything. It all depends on the students. The counselor was not helpful, I had to find my own way. In my first weak I got dress coded for wearing leggings and I had seen a girl walk by in almost the same thing I was wearing and the lady said " Sometimes you get caught speeding on the highway, while others don't" I am not usually sensitive about this stuff, but I cried. I went into the office and they asked me what was wrong and I told them that I hated the school. The office and the principal were very helpful. I really like them. However everything else stinks. We get taught something and don't expand on it. So when we get the test in a week later of not reviewing it we all fail. This is why Mississippi is in the lower percentage of good grades,. I was a honors student until I came to this school and I started failing because the teachers weren't helpful. I believe 8th grade should be counted as important but it's not. They don't have graduation, field trips li my last school and it was disappointing to see that I would have had to miss out on something I was looking forward to so much. Overall the students are too cliquey an fake. I hated this school.

I am extremely disappointed with Ocean Springs Upper Elementary and the way the teachers have treated my child. The lack of compassion and understanding from some of the staff has contributed to my child’s emotional well-being in a very negative way. They became increasingly depressed and sad throughout their time at the school, and it was clear the teachers were more focused on maintaining control than offering support or encouragement
