The middle school is by far better than the high school. The staff in the office is on top of issues and investigating incidents. The the teachers for the most part do well at making sure that the students understand and so do the parents. But there are a few that seem to go to work to get paid. They don't put in extra effort to make sure students understand. They tend to write off some students. They don't take in consideration different learning capabilities in students and go to fast dump too much information in a small period of time with no breaks to reflect.

My son has voice that he is overwhelmed in classes because the students are allowed and not on track and the teachers not doing much about it so it's hard for him to concentrate. So when he brought it up to the staff in the office they didn't do much to accommodate for him. They agreed about some diagnosis but didn't offer extra services even though it's evident that he is struggling in class. The food is God awful. It's always the same things on repeat. It's all processed and has tons of ingredients you can't pronounce which isn't good for you. Only thing decent is the fresh fruits and vegetables. which even those sometime are looking rough and rotten. There's kids always being loud in the Halls where they're not supposed to be during class. The hall monitors sit in the Halls on their phones instead of redirecting the students to do what they're supposed to be doing during class time when they're in the Halls. Teachers, staf,f and hall monitors do not enforce the rules of no phones during passing period or when they have a pass to go to the bathroom. They limit the amount of times a student can go to the bathroom. Which is ridiculous for females. The janitorial services do the bare minimum to keep the school clean and disinfected. The superintendent and the districts priorities are out of order. It's more important to build big flashy schools then to put money in the elementary schools. so that they have kitchens in order to prepare meals without it being delivered to them in hot boxes. God only knows how long the food sits in these hot boxes before they're served to the students. I've had several of my kids complain about burnt food, cold food, and moldy food. I thought they were over exaggerating until I worked in the school cafeteria myself and witnessed it myself and was Disturbed. There's no focus nor do they think of the importance in nutrition and serving sizes for the kids. They serve the middle school students the same amount of food as they serve the elementary students. Then they only give a tiny bit more for the high school students. The high school doesn't have a lot of opportunities for parent involvement.

I’ve had two children attend Eisenhower Elementary from kindergarten through fifth grade, and both have continued to be successful students in the district. Over the years, we have worked with around 10 teachers and instructors, and I have had no significant concerns with any of them. They are well trained, dedicated to their work, and each brings individual strengths to the classroom.I especially appreciate that the principal and administration allow teachers the flexibility to use those strengths to create successful learning environments. The principal is a classy, professional leader whose top priority is the students, with a clear focus on strong instruction and appropriate discipline.At one point, one of my children had some minor discipline concerns. Even then, the intervention team and teachers remained supportive and encouraging. They developed a plan that was specific, realistic, and measurable, and it helped address the issue successfully.I know some parents have mentioned communication challenges, but that has not been our experience. We have found communication with the school to be open, honest, timely, and constructive.Overall, Eisenhower Elementary gave my children a strong academic and social foundation, and I’m grateful for the role the school has played in their growth and success.
