9th St
Covington, IN 47932

There are so many things to say about this school, but I will point out only a few. This school has a difficult time not only hiring appropriate staff, but also the retention in this school staff from superintendent to teachers, to janitors is absurd. They do not listen to their students when there are real complaints, such as harassment, bullying, theft, etc. Parents are not included in events or learning experiences in appropriate time or even including in the classroom experience such as having an outlie of their daily lessons, or homework, or test. The staff all around lacks communication to parents regarding the children and do not listen to the parents when it comes to parents knowing what is best for their child. The school does what they think is appropriate even if it is not in the best interest of the child or parent/ guardian. Schools are to be for education not a substitute for parents. If the staff at Covington took their jobs a little more serious and had more integrity than perhaps the shape of our next generation of children would be better rounded for taking on the responsibilities that await them after graduation. I can only hope that sooner rather than later Covington will see the potential it has once it weeds out the bad apples.
