The staff "PRINCIPAL"S" at TC Roberson has show discriminative behavior the last 2 years, anyone looking to send their child here should definitely think twice......Reached out to the superintendent (Huff) who seem to try and back peddle his way out when ask to see the time line of events that were communicated with he Assistant Principal through text, phone calls and emails........

The staff are uncaring, unprofessional, and disrespectful to student and their families. This is the worst school in Buncombe County that I have experienced. As a parent, I reported that the principal neglected and ended up not only putting my child in harm's way but also other children. Parents' contact information is removed from the system. The kids have to provide the staff with their parents' contact information. Parents do not receive updates directly from the school and must rely on the information being shared with them by a third party.

I understand that this is a public school but there are way to many issues. It is not all on the school but the district. The staff does not support the kids but protect themselves. Several support staff is not friend to parents and children.

We have had children in this school before COVID, during COVID, and after COVID. While there are some good teacher I have to say there are more teachers who should never be in a classroom. Lessons are listed and the students do then on the computers. If they don’t understand the work and need help they are given a site to go to the find the help they require. The teachers are not in the front of the classroom teaching instead the suggested site is doing the teaching. Grades are no posted on a regular basis and frequently not posted at all. There is more indoctrination being done in the classroom then teaching in many cases. We have have teachers complaining about the low salaries, talking about their emotional issues and how the students are causing them stress. Band, chorus and string orchestra are outstanding. Transportation is horrible. Twice a year when the count is taken for funding, students are encouraged to ride and ALL routes run AM and PM, but the very next week many routes don’t have drivers. Some times there is notification on the route not running but many times parents receive a message between noon and 1PM that they need to pick their child up at 2:45 as the route will not have a driver. Bullying has been an ongoing problem and is getting worse. There are really no consequences for the bullying and the students no it. Safety is an issue as a result of the bullying.These are problems not only at this school but thruout the district. It is about time the district gets back to education instead of indoctrination.
