Columbia Middle School

one of the best elementry school in the worlld

great school they say....when in reality it's the worst school in the district. The entire staff is ridiculous they do not know the definition of ethics. The students can't complain because they don't take any matter seriously. I'm tired of going to speak to the principal and teachers and no changes are being made. This has been an on going issue since 2014. They pay no attention to Hispanics students. They should not be working with students.

I would not recommend this school my daughter has been bullied over and over again and I went to the teacher. She told me “she needs to learn how to defend yourself.“ which made me very mad another thing my daughter had an accident at school because the teacher said carpet time is my time and did not let her use the restroom and then another thing. My daughter told her not once but twice that she did not feel good and told her all you’ll be fine just go lay down later on when I went to go pick her up, I had to take it to the emergency room because she had allergic reaction. I went to the principal and the principal did nothing.

I have a 3rd grader and 2nd grader at this school and they have been going here since kindergarden. Everything was ok until this year. My son started changing and stopped showing interest in school. Last year he had great grades and would be excited about learning new things and how he would do great on test, but this year his teacher was absent most of the year, he never had homework and said he wasn't able to meet his reading and math goals because his class wasn't given access to the computers. I went into the office to talk about my concerns, and they told me that his teacher was having problems and leaving and that they didn't have enough teachers to transfer her class to other teachers. I felt really upset because basically my son lost a whole year of education. I am looking into changing them to a different school. Most days I see kids fighting after school when I go pick up my kids and feel like its getting out of control.

Every since covid my child has been doing his studies and classwork on the laptop. My child has been bullied by words/pushed/ choked on and I've bought it up to teachers and principal. Principal always says they are kids just playing he doesn't take it seriously. This school year 2023-2024 this has had over three fights. My son 5th just for having a foot support they don't let him be in school with out a note which the day I have his note the front office gives my son his belongings/awards/ and graduation certificate and with still a week left of school. If I can give this school a zero star I would. Pls parents don't support or put your children in this school.

I’m really thankful with the new principal and the office staff for the effort of helping me and for the new changes that have been happening. I want to thanks Ms. Daleiden for all the help and teaching she provided for my son over the school year.
