The administration is top notch, the staff is friendly, and the teachers are creative, pro-active, and interested in the individual students. My younger two will be joining my oldest there, and I am so excited to watch them blossom at Due West.

My child constantly get bullied due to her being hispanic, terrible school!

I am a student at McClure middle school and I sadly can not say that this school meets expectations. I can say from personal experience that there are several teachers who treat certain students with less respect and kindness than other students. I can also say that some teachers ar McClure don’t treat students with respect at all. Certain personal needs can be ignored, such as using the bathroom, eating, talking during designated talking time or even blowing your nose or getting a bandaid. McClure has quarterly talks with students about striving to be the best school in cobb county, almost degrading other schools in the district. We are asked, at these “grade level talks,” to perform at our highest ability just so we can take the lead as the best school in cobb county. Faculty members are sometimes harsh, and not understanding towards students who have let their grades slip or get a bad score on a test. Faculty members, including one of the principals, have cussed and demeaned students for bad behavior. Of course, some students behavior is bad but as adults you shouldn’t take out whatever the students have done, considering they are still learning right from wrong and are literally kids. McClure holds high standards for their students but most of the time cannot even meet the standards as adults. Kids are given loads of class work, homework, tests, quizes, and even projects to do in classes, sometimes all at the same time. it is an unrealistic standard set for young teenagers to be expected to accomplish all these tasks, while maintaining a perfect grade in all your classes. Students such as myself also feel that their needs for things are ignored by teachers and staff most of the time. Mcclure also rarely deals with student problems. I watch many people get bullied every day, and I myself have even been a victim of it before. However, nothing is usually ever done to help the victim of rude attacks made towards their personal appearance, popularity level, or smarts. On paper, McClure is a great school you would want to send your children to.
