Horace Cureton Elementary School

Terrible school a boy was bullied and gotNo help from teachers !

I just want to say this school has the most amazing, caring, & compassionate teachers, staff and principal I have seen as of yet. Very dedicated when it comes to teaching and supporting the kids that attend their school. They take the time to build a personal connection, not only with the kids but us parents as well. Makes it so much easier on myself as a parent, knowing my child is in good hands at this school. Thank you Robert Sanders!

My son has had a fantastic experience at the school, and the arts programs have been fantastic. He started off in TK hating to color and draw and now in first grade he loves making books in his spare time and he always comes home with wonderful and thoughtful freehand seasonal art projects. He's singing and dancing all of the time and sharing things he's learned in musical theater class. He has grown so much academically and he looks forward to school on a regular basis. All of his teachers have been so supportive of his growth and are always available whenever I reach out with questions or concerns.

Poor communication between parents and principal/teachers. Not all equal the same meaning the principal respects who she wants and parents are spoken to like children.

While teachers were as effective as they could be, administrator, safety, and protocol are severely lacking. There is no security and people can come and go as they please. The administrator is focused on scores rather that social emotional well-being of student which also includes instruction. Taking things personally means there is no equity or fair contribution to the students. Without having a background in actual classroom management, both principal and coordinator are ill-equipped to run a school. In fact, coordinator with no credentials or teaching certificate which was in classrooms unsupervised without a Certificate of Clearance (COC) for over a year was with students without teacher supervision. In fact, they only have a certificate of clearance and should not be in a coordinator position to begin with and sometimes acts as acting administrator without any certifiable credentials. Unsafe on many levels.
