Cook Elementary School

I have only had positive experiences here

Joplin school's administrators should meet the expectations from them. They should establish positive relationship with parents. Most important thing is the teacher quality and the discipline at school. Students always fight and are very disrespectful to the teachers but the administrators are always tolerant and let it go. Teachers should spend more time with their students and be caring.

My student started Cuffe in 1st grade and graded last year to attend Whitney Young. The staff and especially the Principal is hands on.

If your children have special needs, Do not send them to this school? Horrible staff. Called the principal and received no response. Unbelievable neglect witnessed! We will be reporting this school.

this school is not a good school i am a student at St.Ethelreda and if you're getting bullied they won't do anything about it. The teachers will just watch your kid get bullied and nothing will come from it. The teachers are very rude, not understanding, and will not put your grades in on time. The school will take your phone after the teacher puts her hand in your pocket just to get your phone even if you're not on it and they won't give it back unless you pay $20. The paint on the wall is falling off, there are dust everywhere, and overall just a messy place to bring your kids.

St. Sabina has fallen below the community expectations in so many ways. It's amazing how they pretend to empower the community, but they don't welcome parents as partners. There are no real scholarships prior to your children starting class, they treat you as if they are bill collectors instead of educators and will sit your child out side until they have received money. In exchange for your hard earned money, you are not expected to ask questions or challenge the norm. Just send your children and hope for the best. Children often slip through the crack here. There have been numerous inadequate teachers who affect the children's learning ability and self-esteem and the school administrator doesn't see it as a problem. The constant problem here is not enough resources, too many new teachers, and too much nepotism. They don't reach out to parents for help, just MONEY. Don't send your child here to receive a competitive education, but rather an attitude and excuses. My Child has been on principal scholar here since, 2009, but I want him to be prepared for a better future. Don't believe the MEDIA HYPE! Once they get you in, it's over.
