Chaffee Trail Middle School

I previously gave this school a good review but i must speak out about how the quality of the school has been in a steady decline. My child has been here for her whole elementary school years and is now in her last year (5th grade). The teachers used to be so involved with the parents, they were caring and communicated with both students and parents to make sure the kids were not missing a beat. But the past couple of years there has been a slow but steady decline in the quality of the communication, the staff and of the education in general. There are still some wonderful teachers there, however I believe the leadership (principal and vice principal who don't seem to take the parents' concerns seriously or hold our children's education to any type of standard) has a lot to do with it. If this is to be your school, just remain involved (as parents should anyway), and make sure that your children aren't silently struggling or falling behind with the curriculum.

The only students having problems in this school are the ones with parents who do not engage with the PTA, do not motivate and work with their children, and those who prefer to allow their children to act up and blame the school rather than their poor parenting. This is a wonderful and enriching school for those fortunate to attend, regardless of your background. I will remain anonymous but there are many who share my sentiment. Parents lacking their own education have this false sense of entitlement to preferential treatment because they see the school as 100% responsible for the outcome of their child's education, which is false. The teacher is the guide, the parent plays an equal role in this and frankly, too often the parent's aren't involved. My children have been very happy here and made great strides, the teachers should be commended.

This school needs a new principal someone that truly cares about the welfare of all the students. The principal is lazy and very one-sided .Homeschool. Your children this s hook is very dangerous kids get jump eco everyday afterschool .Its awful and heartbreaking
