We recently switched into MLK from the private and charter systems. This switch was due to several issues within the private and charter systems that began to become evident post covid. Things we’ve noticed on this particular campus: the principal is extremely proactive on this campus. She does not blow off parent or student concerns. She addresses each issue, as we have witnessed. Her timing may not be immediate, which could upset some parents, but honestly, some situations need time to be evaluated and the campus has a lot of students, making immediate action difficult at times. Prioritizing is a key component of a successful administrator. The teachers are qualified. Compared to a specific homeschool system in this district and several surrounding private schools, the teachers in the public system are highly qualified (for the most part). Although I personally disagree with any crossing of political, social, or gender preferences on school campuses, we have only heard of a few teachers who outwardly promote these agendas (but we have not experienced these teachers). The school offers a number of electives, a decent PE system, clean classrooms, and extra curricular options. There are a good deal of students and that allows for students to find their own group and support system. Middle school is tough. Middle school has always been tough. From our perspective, taking into consideration countless friends and family members who attend more affluent schools, they face the same challenges and complain about the same issues that we hear parents at this school discuss. We do not see any great difference between this middle school and one in a more affluent area. Our kids say this school actually has less fights and less mean kids than some of the surrounding city schools that are more affluent.

All but one of my six kids has attended EC , it’s a great school ! Teachers and staff are amazing and a lot of parent support

Libby Elementary has been nothing short of amazing for my family. My child is in great hands. The staff are like loving grandparents to my child. And they also make us (parents) feel at home. Great communication between teachers and parents as well as front office. They are quick to answer any questions we may have about anything school related or about my child. They truly seem to care about my child as if it was their own. My child can’t wait to go to school and comes home with a big smile every single day. Angela Taylor (special education teacher) has been a blessing to our family. She makes education fun and has a motherly attitude towards education. She is very informative and loving. She has the attitude of she is not only there to do a job, she is there to make a difference in these children’s lives for the better. And she is doing an incredible job. Thank you to the school, staff, and Mrs. Angela Taylor for all that you do.
