I really recommend this school and I really appreciate to ms Margy. She’s so special and humble all staff are amazing teachers respectful and caring.Thank you Emerson!

Very disappointed and shocked. Sad to see what is allowed for these scholars.

It has been really difficult at McClymonds recently. In the last couple of weeks a math teacher and a humanities teacher have both quit, and there does not seem to be any clear plan or solution on the way. What makes this even harder is that many parents have no idea how bad things have become inside the school.Student behavior has played a big role in the situation. The environment has become so disruptive that it is pushing teachers away and making real learning almost impossible. Students who genuinely want to focus and succeed end up suffering because the behavior problems are not being addressed.In biology we have not had a consistent teacher at all. We have had substitutes almost every day, and we are not learning the material we need to learn. It is heartbreaking and discouraging to feel our education slipping away, not because we lack motivation, but because the disruptions and the instability make it impossible to move forward.Students deserve better. We deserve consistent teaching, a safe and focused learning environment, and adults who can actually support our education. It is not fair that our learning is being compromised like this, and the situation needs to be acknowledged and addressed so things can improve. My classmates throw chairs, hit each other, curse in class, and even throw water bottles all over the room, and it makes learning feel impossible.
