Shelby County West Middle School

Clear Creek teachers have to spend most of their time helping the worst students in class to raise their test scores which are "needs improvement." My son is at the top of his class and isn't being pushed to excel because his teachers have to focus on the bottom-performing kids. Bright students don't get what they need at this school.

Good. Involvement is very good. Principal is highly visible and approachable.

I have 6 children at Southside elementary. We absolutely fell in love with the school and staff. The teachers and staff should be rated an A+ in my books. They call to let parents know when their children have had a good day, not just giving bad news. They have also been such an amazing support system to our family. I have never experienced the “family feel” of a school before as I have with this one. The teachers and staff go above and beyond what I expected. This school is amazing and will always hold a huge part in mine as well as my family’s hearts!
