Coles Corner

My experience as been pleasant. I do participate in the PTA and volunteer at the school as much as I can. I truly love the Grand Parents programs. Principal Gastons and her team are doing an amazing job

Good Set up. Bad Staff. Outdated Equipment(nothing digital or computerized)Staff member hit my kid and called him a baby after he had an accident(urinated) on himselfstaff wasn't paying attention and another kid pushed my kid off a stage attempted to talk to owners... no luckstaff has no religion in them at all. director unprofessional

The New leadership ( Pastor Mitchell) does not communicate with parents well and doesn't understand the academic funamental in education that the students need to be able to move forward in life. My child has been at the school since the 3rd grade and now under new ownership Pastor Mitchell the school has gone down in the lasted two year from bad to worse specially now that the school main focus is the basketball and football team. Note 80% of the team is failing all or most of their classes. The team students get in trouble daily to more than once a day with no infractions as outlined in the hand book. The school is not worth paying for when all the bad kids are recruited and pay no intuition.

Run. While some of the staff are wonderful, there are two that belittle students in front of their whole class and complain about students wasting their time when they are the ones going on and on and berating them for one little thing. They'll search their backpacks for things like makeup and phones so they can make a big deal about it, they have found pads and held them up and told everyone that those need to stay with the nurse (in front of like everyone), and they really seem to care more about "distractions" than the students' safety. A few years ago, a student was talking rudely about the size of a girl's chest and I don't think he even got suspended. They also lack a qualified music teacher and a qualified Spanish teacher. For at least the past five or so years, the Spanish teacher has simply been a person who speaks Spanish and prints out words searches for the names of fruit, and there have been a lot of Music teachers, too, but they're usually qualified, unlike this year. If you have a gifted child, don't bother with the Learning Enrichment and advancement Program (Leap); It's just extra homework. I'm removing my child as soon as the year is over.
