Lloyd High School

I will start with the positives, my child who attends here has had great teachers who really seem to care about my child's education. The concerns I have are with Boone County as whole.This year my child has been experiencing bullying issues while in the classroom and the bus. My child has been coming home daily very distraught and cries that they don't want to go to school because they dont feel safe. The school is trying their best with the limited resources they have. However, I feel that the county could provide better support.. especially on the bus. There are serious safety concerns my child has experienced on the bus that have been going on all of this school year that have not been resolved. This includes being depanted on the bus, pushed, name called and more. Due to the schools limited resources, I felt that this should be escalated to actually resolve the issue.When talking to the superintendent's office, I spoke with Jamie. She advised that the bus is a luxury and I should provide transportation if I don't like it. She stated the school had no responsibilty to the action of the children on the bus and that this was at the parents discretion to handle.It is not that my child doesn't enjoy the bus, it is that there are constant physical safety concerns. And its very alarming that the school holds no credibility for the safety of our children during school hours while on the bus, and are not provided enough resources to control the reckless behavior of other students during school hours. This problem does not stop at the bus. My child has also been bullied during school hours. We have encountered multiple situations resulting in calls from the nurse to alert me what had happened to him while under the schools care.It is really infuriating that the district does not provide additional support such as a bus monitor for problematic busses, and are improperly staffed to care for the concerns during school hours as well.Jamie did do me a "favor" and called me back to let me know that I could pay out of pocket for a daycare bus service if I felt it was needed. Shame on Boone County for not doing better for their students!

Overall amazing school! Both my kids went here since kindergarten. One negative thing I’d wish they would Work on is engaging more with the shy and quiet kids more. Maybe get a buddy system together. I know I’m not the only parent who feels this way. Both of my daughters dealt with social anxiety and just overall awkwardness. My youngest one more so than my oldest. I drop my youngest off and I watch the teachers that stand outside, and they hardly even look at her. A simple hi or complement to her would make all the difference in the world to her. When you see a child having difficulties making friends you would think that these teachers would make more of an effort into helping them. Breaks my heart. But it’s a great school overall. Like I said the only negative I would have to say is they need to work on helping the shy and quiet kids get out of their shell.

Terrible school horrible schooling staff disregards students real learning and communication skills with parents denied child schooling bases off third party communication will not speak or bring problems up for face to face communication daughter had caught hand foot and mouth and multiple cause of head lice due to poor hygienic checking of students would recommend you run away from this school Michael S.
