Ezzard Charles School

I have only had positive experiences here

The current Principal is the rudest person I've met in a long time. I have subbed here a few times and would not do it again. One time I had no sub plans, no roster, and no schedule (this happens regularly at Cook). Students were running around the building and I had no idea who was even supposed to be in my class because there was no roster. I alerted the principal that students were just roaming freely (at least 10 students) he shrugged and said he was busy. Did not care at all about where they were or their safety. The staff admits they don't like the principal at all and even apologized for his behavior. It's not the staff that's the problem, it's that principal. Morale is very low and if I had to deal with him every day I would not want to come to work either.

No discipline whatsoever. Don't send your kid here. They will pick up terrible behavior. I saw the kids testing, their scores were abysmal. I guess if you live close that's a perk. Genuinely I have no clue why else you would send your kid here. Even if you live close, you should want to do better for your kid. At the end of the day they put the worst behaved class in the auditorium for hours at a time with no work and security sitting outside the door. It's literally like a holding room. They have no disciplinary methods at all. It seems like everyone on staff has just given up. Primary is not as bad as middle school. There's still typically a lot of disorganization but primary tends to have better behavior at least. Not good behavior but definitely better.

As the previous comment mentioned its still same. Admin doesn't give proper consequences, kids are so disrespectful not only that but expect so much of you as a staff member with little to no support

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.
