When my son first started school, we saw that this school had the best reviews; however, as he went through the first two years of school we found out that this school was NOT it. My son had been constantly bullied his first year and would come home crying and complaining about how his classmate would hurt him on purpose and would continue to do so every day. We talked to the teacher and principal and said there was nothing they could do. My son struggled to pay attention (at home as well, so we knew of the issue) and tried talking to counselors and principals to help further help him in learning to which they did not get back on until the next school year. For the teachers, it was hit or miss, some teachers we did not get along well with while others we did when it came to my son's education. It seems like there was a constant issue with communication with the admin and we ultimately decided to transfer schools.

This school boxes parents out of as much as possible, and when I disagree with the school on education for my child they force the issue on us. The teachers and staff cover each others butts but don’t do nearly as much for the kids as they claim. My sons edu has not moved an inch in two years based on overall progress. Overall my children and my relationship has been way way worse since my children have moved to this area. My children went from happy and calm, to aggressive and cold hearted…..I know a lot of it is coming from this community because my two kids issues have become way worse since they have been here…..I’ve done everything possible to try to move them out of this school but the school is more focused on power and control than education and facilitating family/school bal……I gave one star because hey…..they show up everyday!

Above and beyond!! It’s like a little warm family!! Everyone cares!!! Love it!

As far as we have been enrolled at this school for 4 months now and not only have we not had any help when asked but they also allowed my 1st grader to get on a random bus unknowingly and weren’t able to inform me of her whereabouts for over an hour. On the teacher note I have asked and asked for ways to help her academically for the teachers to ignore me or reply hours or days later we’ll past bed time or time to be able to help her. We bring issues and problems up to the teacher to just be brushed aside. My child is made to feel like she isn’t cared for. She’s complained of headaches to be told “well I don’t know what to do for you” she complained about other kids being mean to be told “well?” She’s came home telling me she got hurt at school and they did nothing for her. My child has a problem holding her attention and we’ve talked to the teachers on ways to help to just get told “tell her to pay attention” …like we haven’t tried that already? We’ve tried talking to the teachers about her anxiety over being rushed to just continue to hear her cry about how the teachers are rushing her and won’t help her. On top of it I’ve never been allowed in the school or even met these teachers face to face so all in all our experience at this school in as little as 4 months has been nothing but heartbreaking as a parent for my FIRST grader to have to go through.

Officer Myers touched me as a kid

it's not that bad of a school to be honest. teachers are okay im in honor classes

I went to Sevier County High School for all of high school. Most of the staff and admin were very polite and respectful towards my friends, parents, and I. Theres an issue with bullying and harassment that needs to be dealt with better than what it is now; however, I think it is because most of the people experiencing the bullying are not reporting it enough therefore it is not brought to attention. Throughout my education, however, I had many wonderful teachers and never had a bad teacher. I did not agree with all of them, but I could tell that they all loved their job and cared about each student. Like every school, they have some issues they need to work on but overall, it was a great school, and I would recommend.

Our son just finished his kindergarten year and he loved it and his teacher was amazing!!

Constant drug wars going on here, staff is terrible and immature. For math the teachers just show notes and expect kids to learn or in physics they only covered chemistry and never learned anything to do with physics. For fights it's not fair who gets punished, the aggressor gets only 3 days of in school suspension and the person acting in self defense also gets thrown into trouble just because. If you are failing in a class that teacher will not help you in succeeding in their class either. I've had the worst time here with students and teachers. Students are acting like gang members and are terrible to each other and the staff do nothing while kids are doing drugs in the bathroom or on the bus. I was on the bus one day and another school bus rear ended ours and gave most kids whiplash, another time my bus driver ran over 2 peoples mailbox in one run. Terrible school system and super unfair.

The staff are rude and the principal one is terrible.
