Thelma Buffey Elementary

This achool is a money making business with the majority of the money going into the pocket of the superintendent Pamela Haldy. She had no real intent to better the students not care for their well being. She treats her staff like lesser humans, and will turn on them when it doesn't benefit her anymore. As long as she keeps the board happy and the profits coming in, she is happy. If you want your child an honest education the is child centered, don't go here. Looks are deceiving.

I 1000% do NOT recommend this school district. 1 of my sons had constant behavior issues and wanted to blame the child, it wasn't until after we moved and went to another school that I found out how little paperwork they do for each child's portfolio and the carelessness of handling situations. I received calls every day about my son's behavior, and he received a suspension without any paperwork involved. Teachers sending children to a "reflection room", a white room type closet, WITHOUT informing the parent. Teachers acted like they cared, but the principal and teachers changed multiple times in the 3 years my children attended, not forming the lasting bonds/relationships needed for children to thrive. My son still sometimes has behavior problems in the new school, but it's very clear that he was treated like a nuisance rather than a blessing at the old school. I would have filed a very big complaint with the school system, but without undeniable evidence and support, I am left with only my truth against them. My children's peers also were very naughty, defiant, and inappropriate, I had to stop letting my daughter on the bus because boys would try to look up her dress/skirt multiple times and was not held accountable in any way. I am hoping I am the only one with this experience from the school district and that conditions are no longer like this. My children attended from 2021-2024.

So sad our school is closing. St. Mark has enriched my kid's life. The blessing's from this christian education have exceeded our expectation's. We are praying that God will continue to grow within our children as we have to move to another school.

They have an awesome principal and teachers.
