Mount Zion High School

I have a issue with this school, I don’t know why they’re teaching my 1st grader about segregation and riots/protests, it should be taught but that should be in civics and so on, not when they’re learning addition and multiplication with basic language arts. It feels like they’re trying to get political and I think that’s horrible for my kid.

Thurgood Marshall Elementary is an amazing school for teaching, learning, and family engagement. This school and staff are so AMAZING in this community.

My child enjoyed attending Kay Pace SOTA. I was heavily involved just as much as she was. They push the scholars very hard to the point I had to put my child in therapy for anxiety. Some days we couldn’t catch a break. Tutoring is a must if you want your child to stay ahead, because the teachers are teaching by the book. Some will give too much unnecessary homework that has nothing to do with classwork. As for the clubs, it’s who you know here. They will hold auditions for certain clubs but the opportunity is limited. It’s like a popularity contest. I don’t feel that teachers and counselors reprimand scholars fairly because when I will bring issues up about bullying it always seemed to get brushed under the rug or the finger was pointed back at my child. Therefore, keep a paper tail. I notice scholars whose parents work for the district are disciplined differently than those without parents who don’t work for school. Same goes for club auditions and sport tryouts. I’ve seen coaches put their own kids on team. After Dr. Jackson left, student and parent engagement has improved tremendously. Dr. Buddy really puts a lot of effort to make school feel welcoming. Overall, the school does challenge the scholars, but communication between teachers and parents needs critical improvement.
