Curtis Middle School

I am writing this review as a grandparent. My grandson is not safe at school. He is bullied by other students (and at least once by a staff member) and he has been assaulted more than once. The school staff seem more concerned about covering themselves than they are about student safety; their response is "there is nothing we can do." If they cannot do anything, then who is supposed to protect the children? During his years at Bradley, my grandson has been burned, hit with various objects, punched, a break in his hand near a growth plate that caused him to be out of school for three weeks (that one happened while his teacher left her class unattended in the classroom), and a dislocated thumb. In addition, at least one of his pull-out times coincided with lunch. When that happened, they just denied him lunch instead of giving him time to eat.My daughter has tried calling various district offices for help, only to be told the school has to handle it. Again, I must ask, if the school won’t handle it and the district won’t handle it, who will? Do we really have to wait until he is injured enough to be hospitalized before someone will handle it (as my daughter said someone in a district office told her)?Who at Bradley is supposed to keep the children safe, so they can focus on learning? Who at the district office is supposed to keep the children safe if Bradley staff refuses to do so?

When my daughter first started this school her teacher was awful. She assigned a ton of homework (5 pages a day) for a 1st grader. My son would literally come home crying because he had so much homework. My child would come home constantly telling me stories about how mean his teacher was to the WHOLE class. However, once I brought this issue up to the Principle and Sectary they took swift action. Fast forward to now my child is in the second grade and his teacher is wonderful!! My child is actually excelling ever since he has been in Mrs. A's class. So, I've had my ups and downs with this school, but I can say with confidence that they are consistently trying to improve. Mrs. Sims is a wonderful woman who truly cares about her students.

We move here from Seattle WA, last year and no lie I was afraid to put my children in this school.By far best choose, the whole staff is great and really care for students Ms. Turner is great, patient and really care, my child is always excited to go to school. Ms. Lam also goes on and above for our children, I feel like my child is finally academically where he needs to be. I love it.The principal is great he cares about student

This is a good school to send children to learn.
