is the best school if I was still a kid I would use it again

We were excited to send our son to Hoover, in the autism program. But that excitement quickly faxed when he began coming home with bruises and finger print marks from being grabbed and treated roughly. I walked up to the classroom and heard my son being yelled at more than once. My child is non verbal so he cannot tell me what goes on. Also the teacher was unwilling to communicate with me regarding issues with my son, his school work, or anything. I tried to give them a chance and spoke to them about my concerns but ultimately pulled my son due to really bad bruising and scratch marks that he came home with and no explanation from the teacher. I really did have a lot of respect for the principal, I think she wanted to work on the issues and I believe her to be a good principal. However, the teacher seemed to dislike my child and so we have moved our child to another school.

my names spencer and i used to go here, it was really fun

My children and I love Mayo Demonstration. The principal knows every child by name and greets everyone each morning. The teachers are top notch and really care about each student. The nontraditional, hands on style of teaching is truly a blessing. Mayo is truly a great school!!

I love the environment and surroundings of my school.

this school sucks i dont recommend coming to hale middle school the classroom floors are always dirty it stinks in the bathrooms teachers dont care about the students at all the food is nasty sometimes served cold,the lunch ladies are disrespectful.

My kids love going to this school they are always there for my kids love it

I graduated from Thoreau after it reopened in 1999. While middle school can be socially challenging anywhere, my experience at the school was academically and psychological traumatic. Teachers did not teach foundational academic concepts in many cases. For example, when I attended, we were not taught basic middle school math curriculum. Since math builds upon itself, not learning the basics put me severely behind in high school. Class sizes were very large, even with a para teacher in the class, and there was too much emphasis on group projects versus individual accountability. There were a lot of thug type students / gangbangers in training there since the admissions are not based on academic merit, it’s just a lottery from various parts of town with no credentials. Lord of very mean kids that would bully others.I’ve heard it has declined even more and sadly, was at its best early on when I attended. Thankfully, I left TPS for private school, but would have had a happier experience going to one of the many excellent private schools. Pls look carefully prior to sending your child here if you have other options!

6th year as a Zarrow Aguila! Bitter sweet to see my Aguila fly off to middle school. She has had a time of her life and 5th grade graduation ceremony is ready to send her off as a well rounded, prepared young lady. Diversity around her makes her proud of the uniqueness she has to offer. Loved every day of class and every single teacher and staff, current and past, that school had offered. Always willing to help child and never losing child's best interest. PTA! Wow! Hats off as well. PARENTS AND TEACHERS, true meaning of working hand in hand! Thank you!

This is a small school and they feel like family. I am very proud that my children are attending this school.
