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

I feel like this school has improved over the years, I really appreciate my child's teachers working with me to help my child succeed, even when he had some difficulty comprehending expected behavior. I get great communication from his teacher on his weaknesses and when he is improving in general as a student. My responsibility as his parent is to teach him at home the fundamentals of growing up, hygiene, manners, respect, etc.... The teachers responsibilities are to teach the fundamentals of learning reading, writing, etc... and the key is to keep the communication at home and school continuous. I have volunteered at this school on occasion and I have to admit parental involvement isn't that high when it comes to needing help, however if there is an event for families there's a good turnout. If current parents of students want to see changes in this school, start by volunteering, attending PTO meetings or just ask your child's teacher what you can do to help, I did and it made me appreciate just what the teachers and staff at Skelly Elementary do on a daily basis.

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.
