Worst school ever! Nothing but bullying and the staff let’s it happen/encourage it.

In my experience, the school needs upgrading in a few areas ... more focus on academics, higher quality homework assignments, better / more frequent teacher - parent communications, more frequent bathroom breaks for kids, and pickup / drop off create new system which are currently a confused mess, unsafe with little kids running through the parking lot and cars packed-in / backing up, its an accident waiting to happen. The people are generally friendly, mixed working class. The staff does seem overwhelmed, and somewhat inexperienced at managing the growing population of students in the community. So far, I'd rate Powers 3+ needs a quality upgrade, but adequate.

Walter G . Nord Middle School is a fantastic school. The teachers there are great too, when they teach students they put it in a form that they really can understand. Unlike some teacher in other schools, the teachers a Nord go a paste that isn't to slow or fast and if a student doesn't understand that moment the teacher takes the time to help that student understand. The only problem is the teachers sometimes try to teach to much and need to understand the student can only learn so much at a time

The education you can receive here varies greatly. There are many good teachers, but there are also a many bad. The advanced program has become worse due to budget cuts and failing levies, but it is overall an above average school.
