We had a lot of reservations about sending our daughter to this school because we heard some terrible things about the administration response to behavioral issues. But the school now has a new principal and admin team and I have nothing but great things to say about this middle school. Principal Wh

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child recently transitioned to this school and enjoys it. Most of the staff are very nice and seem to enjoy their job. However, the front desk administrator can be very rude. I've had several interactions with her (phone and physical) and not a single time has she been pleasant. She makes you feel like your inconveniencing her and I always walk away upset that they would have someone with her personality and temperament interacting with children and parents. In many ways, she's the first person you would see, speak to, or ask for help and she can be very condescending. I'm dumbfounded on why she's been able to keep this position with her negative attitude. Not a good look for Gale Bailey.Parent Review1y ago - Indian Head Elementary School
