Simeon Career Academy High School

horrible staff and no real leaders or trusting adults in this school. staff members sit that the reception desk eating and having personal conversations out loud, principal belittles the kids and make fun of their hygiene and parents humiliating them infront of their peers. teachers having inappropriate relations with one another that the children knows about. The principal Cathy McCarthy curses loudly at the students and make snarky mean remarks to them. Do not enroll your child here, they will be miserable.

The school needs a lot of changes starting with leadership. All the way to the president of the PAC. The PAC needs someone who will represent the interest of ALL parents and students and not the interest of the principal.

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.

This school is great especially Mr.pender 6 th grade

My son attends this school.. It is terrible for he is in a diverse class room that do not care about student learning goals. Also the office workers need to be fired as well as the assistant principal. This school is understaffed and does not show concern for the some students, Mainly students with disabilities. This school does not watch the students effectively. My son has an IEP, I receive a call from a parent stating he was with a group of kids.. The school didnt even know he was gone. Once I contacted them the next day. Their response was, "He knows the routine for dismissal" I could have lost my son that day if it wasnt for that parent calling me. My son will not be returning back to that school.. & for parents, please get contact information (name and number) from other parents and vice versa. You never know if you may have to call one day.. I wouldn't want no parent to go through what I went through..

lovable staff caring teachers They willing to work with any situation come there way. Very helpful with parents.THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS.WHEN U AREN'T AROUND.
