There are multiple problems with this school. First of all, not very much is done about bullying by the principals. Students are taught that bullying only matters if it has happened more than once or twice. The most a student will get for bullying (even if it's major) is a warning, maybe ISS for repeat offenders. Bullying isn't like in the 90's where a student says mean things to another student or pushes them into a locker, and the staff do not understand this. Another problem is the P.E. class. Students are forced to do intense workouts every day and if one student messes up on a workout or if they forgot to dress out, the whole class is punished with extra workouts. They expect that every student is as fit as an athlete and don't accommodate for students with weight or motor issues. Then after these intense workouts, students are forced to play games while the coaches sit and play on their phones. This brings me to another problem, the cell-phone ban. Students are pretty well behaved for the most part, (other than bullying) and students never used their cell-phones in class to begin with. This isn't really the school's fault, more so the district because they made the rule, but the school greatly enforces it. In conclusion, this school fails to deal with bullying very effectively, overworks students in the P.E. classes, and enforces useless rules.

I attended Stoneville school and I'm delighted that my grand children attend the school. The teachers are all very professional and I so appreciate the hard work that each staff member gives to make SES the best in the county.
