Thomas L Sims Middle School

As parents, we value empathy, accountability, and collaboration, especially when concerns are raised. Unfortunately, our experience with the principal did not reflect those values. During our meeting, communication felt defensive and lacked compassion, and there was no acknowledgment of the impact this situation had on our family or an apology offered.Other staff members were professional and supportive, and some attempted to redirect the conversation. However, the principal’s approach was never meaningfully addressed or challenged, and while a district representative was present, additional advocacy would have been helpful.Although a possible resolution is now underway, this experience has caused us to lose trust in the school’s leadership. As a result, we are carefully considering alternative school options for the upcoming year.

The administration at this school is a joke! My kids have been attending this school for all most 7 years and my 12 year old gets in trouble at school and they don't have the respect to call me and tell me what's going on. And now they have expelled my son and still didn't have the respect to pick up the phone and tell me, because in Grade link it said he was suspended. And if you ever ask the Principal why didn't anyone call me, all he says is check grade link. Well Frank I checked grade link and all it said was he was suspended. So that should tell y'all there is no communication, between the teachers and the administration. From most of these comments, I see people saying they only want money and they don't love the kids! You are absolutely correct they, don't love the kids!
