Eppler Junior High School

My son has been going to this school since October 2023.Everyday he comes home and tells me he is getting bullied. Every time I try to address the issue, the school staff talks in circles or take their time getting in contact with me. They try to make it seem like it’s ONLY my child.They will NOT allow me to do a sit in on a classroom teaching either and requested one.Other parents have also said to me that the school is incompetent and negligent.

The principal is to worried about everyone liking him. I have watched bullying happen with no consequences. I have asked personally for certain things to be done to prevent further bullying, was told yes (keeping my child from going to recess), only for him to keep his word for a week and them to go back to being bullied at recess. When asked about certain services, he has no idea what was going on. The teachers take weeks to reply to issues, concerns, they are more worried about posting on social media to gain “likes” DURING SCHOOL HOURS (if they even decide to reply)! If I was that principal I would be absolutely EMBARRASSED by majority of the teachers that “work” there!

This school is like goldilocks not too bad not too good, but the kids hate it

I like this school. My kids love to school.

I'm an old student of browning, that school is full of bullies, they are disrespectful in so many ways, and the current principal takes all the boys' sides. the teachers are amazing, and I have good memories of the school, but most of my memories there are horrible, if I had a choice to go back to that school id save myself the trauma and hate I received, I don't advice you go there, and when I grow up if I have kids, I don't plan to continue the tradition of them going to Browning. I'll send them to a better school, and over all I don't believe browning deserves to be one of the top three schools in Michigan. the education system is whack.

I do remember the years that Wiley was thriving as stated by others. Today’s Wiley is much different. Yes, there are still some outstanding educators, but sadly Candace, the principal, has absolutely no business working with children, especially those with different learning needs and styles despite diagnoses. The growing diversity across UCS and the differentiation required is NOT being addressed by the current principal and some educators. They speak a good game to cover their behinds, but they have no grasp of reality and act as if they are still in the 1950s. If your child is a robot, then this school is for you. If your child and you live in the real world, you might want to think twice.
