Talton K Stone Middle School

All the teachers are wonderful and they help every child that walks through their doors.

This is the worst school district I’ve ever dealt with. I’ve lived in many states from my husband being in the military and Hardin County is hands down the worst. It’s been nothing but a hectic trouble mess for my children in the two years they’ve been in this school district. I can’t wait until I graduate college so we can go back to Oklahoma. And whenever you try to take care of a problem the office people AND the board members are rude instead of trying to deal with problems they treat parents horrible! My child is being bullied and nothing is being done.

They loved my kids. Always. No matter what. We will miss this school for a very long time.

Gloria Dei Lutheran Child Care and Preschool challenges my child just enough to learn and grow.

We've been at St James for several years now. I'm completely convinced one of the teachers cannot read or write in English. It states on her bio that she has numerous "certifications" but I am at the point that I wonder how she passed those tests if they were in English. This teacher is rude to parents, rude and disrespectful to children, and truly shouldn't be involved with young children. I am unsure how a teacher who cannot read or write in English should be expected to teach children to read and write in english..she refuses to speak to parents at pick up and drop off, and will not put notes in the app dojo, normally the other teachers put notes and pics in the app daily, not her. We have no clue what's going on in her classroom. After meeting with her repeatedly we continue to have the exact same issues we've had the entire year, and the previous year. She listens to absolutely nothing, and does as she pleases. she has refused to allow certain kids in her classroom "treasure box" rewards, alienating them for months at a time. Since these are small kids this is very negative for them and creates a bad experience. Im quite sure my kids regressed academically while in her class. I do not feel good deep down about this situation. I'm concerned about the schools judgement in putting this person in charge of small children. I truly wonder how she passed a background check, prior employment verification, and verification of her education. We have also have never personally spoken with the priest or sister. Its been several years. There are a number of outstanding teachers at the school. Many of are the best Ive seen. I would be cautious about enrolling your child and make sure that you are happy with the teacher before enrolling.
