Hazelwood Middle School

This school acts like a bully system. The stuff they’ve done and tried putting my family through over not signing a paper is very unprofessional. They’ve now done two things to our family because of refusing their paperwork. Not to mention an actual call on a Sunday from the principal and during that conversation the principal mentioned how well my child does and still insisted to stir up about a matter they had started. After denying them once again they furthered to pursue me and my husband and act out. Don’t send your child/children to this school it’s not what it seems on the outside.

I actually attended here starting in 1972 to 1978, at the time the educational process was excellent and were very high on all state testing. This pandemic has shown that there is no substitute for quality education or quality teachers! The online learning process needs much more refinement to make it a viable source of progressive learning. I think the entire system needs to take a deep breath and not point fingers about the past years and just don't give up, everything will be just fine and I hope you all the best. Your the people who help all these children build character and confidence. Be proud of the work you do !!!!! You folks deserve 3 times the salary you receive.

One of the biggest problems at this school is the lack of action when it comes to bullying. Students report issues, but the staff either downplays them or does nothing. There’s no consistent disciplinary system, and students don’t feel safe. The environment is toxic, and the school seems more concerned with protecting its image than protecting its students.

There is zero support when you question things that happen to your child. Particularly if it’s teachers who are bullying and targeting some students. Policies change at will. There are unrealistic expectations around homework. There is no consistency when it comes to what is assigned and how to know. They sometimes forget these are children. A lot of homework but behind on what they’re learning as compared to other Catholic schools.
