Fairhope Middle School

My experience with this school has been outstanding! Both my children attended K-6 grade and we had excellent teachers throughout.

The principal, Terry Beasley, bullied teachers and families. Classes were stacked, and the administration and certain teachers favored affluent/influential families; it was a popularity contest. There were constant fundraisers. The academics in each class varied significantly, from subject matter to grades to daily activities. No cohesiveness. No consistency managing discipline at all. Some classes were extremely well behaved while others ran competely amuck with no consequences. Props to those teachers leading their classes by modeling respect and self control. Shame on those who look the other way so they don't have to deal with it and who at times participate in the bad behavior themselves.

Words cannot describe how much our family loves ESECC! Carol Saltz runs a phenomenal program. Our daughter adores going to school there. The teachers are compassionate and care so much about each child. We can't wait for our son to get to go there, as well, and get to experience what our daughter has. ESECC nurtures the child's developmental needs in addition to providing an excellent educational foundation & fostering a love of learning!

This school is committed to providing a well rounded education including pottery, art and wood working to enhance the academic studies. Free spirits, free thinking is encouraged.
