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.

In my experience at this school, the culture has been highly disorganized and toxic. When I started a couple of years ago, the environment was just as concerning as it is today. There is a consistent lack of student accountability, which has already contributed to several staff members losing their jobs or leaving the campus due to ongoing issues and lack of support. The administration has not been receptive to feedback or concerns by staff, and there is a widespread perception that speaking up can lead to retaliation or negative treatment. Communication is often unclear, expectations are inconsistent, and staff morale has been significantly impacted by the environment. These ongoing issues create challenges not only for employees, but also for maintaining a positive and effective learning environment for students.

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.
