Doty school Rd
Bates city, MO 64011

This is the worst school my children have ever attended. The teachers do not care about the students, at least mine they don’t. My daughter has been struggling and I have contacted her teacher numerous times and school is almost over and she is just now telling me that my daughter is behind.

This school saved my nephew’s life! He has had the attention and help he has needed to achieve his educational goals! He has definitely turned around and his mom and o are so grateful for the staff and parents that make this school great by caring!!!

The bullying is out of control in this building. The principal is awful to her staff and doesn't seem to even care about her students. She's very rude to people if they aren't from rich families, as I've seen both sides of her to different people of different backgrounds. The assistant principal isn't the greatest either and acts like her little minion, but at least he pretends to care about the students. The actions they take towards bullying is so bad and faulty, that no wonder bullying seems to run the school there. It's horrible. There are really great teachers there, but there are some that are just terrible. I could name a few, including the girls coach. Those certain teachers have favorite students, the others get treated like they are a waste of time. I've even had my kid treated like crap from some of them (teachers), and when it is brought to the principals attentions, they don't do anything. When bullying happens from one kid to the other, they just get a talking to, apologies are made and maybe ISS for the next step, but it never corrects the actual problem. My biggest issue really is the lack of love and care in this school. You got a dictator for a principal who's only in it for the money (clearly!) and a few pretty bad teachers. I feel bad for the many good teachers that work there. They have to pick up the slack caused by the handful of bad eggs in that place. There have been many parents that have pulled their kids to homeschool them until they get to high school because it really is that bad. The other school principals and staff are amazing and show great care to their students.
