Read what parents are saying about Century Elementary SchoolThe principal in this school lacks professionalism in decision making and attire. There are so many new teachers every year. This is an indication that administration is the problem. It’s a “mean girls club” and she is the leader. Parents are not welcome in this school. No music programs or fine arts nights. They do fundraisers but no one knows where the money goes. I wish we would have moved to Mathews side of town.
Posted by a parent on 1/25/2024Very dissatisfied with this school. Dealt with bullying issues, poor learning environment, no enrichment learning all centered around MAP preparation and achieving high scores.New teachers are not being properly trained. Huge disconnect compared to other schools in the district in allowing very little outside involvement like music concerts, Grandparents Day, field trips etc. Very poor communication and lack of transparency with parents. Principal doesn’t handle problems at all and expects the parent to resolve matters.
Posted by a parent on 4/16/2023My son transferred to this school and required special accommodations. The teacher dismissed concerns and did not want to accommodate his needs. Teacher allowed for my son to feel left out during a team's activity. He was the only child without a partner which left him in tears and wanting to hurt himself because he felt unwanted. This should never be okay.
Posted by a parent on 3/30/2023Most of the teachers are the “mean popular girls” we all remember from our school days. The principle is included in that group. They all talk about the kids and parents behind their backs anytime there’s an issue on their part. They act as if they do no wrong and are the very best in the world. A lot of us parents are right through it. Know if your child has any issues your child’s teacher will completely disregard it and act like you’re crazy and they are fine. We have been treated so rudely and it’s really sad they don’t encourage kindness. Also… someone should really check into where the money goes from the fundraisers they do. Let’s see that new playground the $26,000 was supposed to build.
Posted by a parent on 4/7/2022The worst. Ms. Blevins chooses to ignore reports of bullying, rather than investigating the claims with non bias she uses teachers and staff to support her assessment of the situation, instead blaming the children who are being bullied. As for the teaching staff, the new teachers are severely lacking in communication skills and follow through. The office staff are rude and I professional.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe community in Nixa has changed greatly in recent years. More and more people are being priced out of the district. The public schools will ask for money constantly from parent in addition to constantly raising taxes almost yearly. Espy Elementary has been a disappointment. I attended as a child and two of my children have attended recently. My daughter who had attended their special education pre-school for 2 years and had an IEP for kindergarten was told she no longer needed services despite the fact that she struggled to meet minimum grade requirements even after working on her education at home. She received an Autism diagnosis in the 3rd grade and I requested that she be re-assessed for an IEP due to the diagnosis as she was struggling greatly in school. Espy and their special education services director outright refused to assess her/ see if she would be eligible for help citing the fact that she met the minimum requirements for her grade despite the fact that she had a new diagnosis, therapy and previous IEP paperwork on file with the district, and was coming home daily to essentially do more schoolwork to just barely stay afloat at school. Providing paperwork and explanations did NOT matter to the school. I would understand if she had not qualified after testing but they REFUSED to even test her for qualification in the first place. In addition they also refused her a 504 for headphones for sensory issues she was having in the class room even with her pediatrician signing off on it being needed.If you have a child with an IEP, a child who is suspected of having special needs, a child who has or might need a 504, DO NOT send them to Espy Elementary. They have their hands full and don’t want to deal with more kids who need help unless your child is exhibiting excessive disruptive or destructive behavior. They do NOT care about your child’s success in the classroom. In addition we had constant issues with the nurse there. She literally could not tell the difference between gnats and lice. Heaven forbid if your child got a stomach ache she would call you, require your child be picked up even without a fever and then proceed to reprimand you for sending your child to school “sick”. This happened to multiple families besides our own and was prevalent during the 5 years our children attended Espy before we pulled them from the district.Parent Review1y ago - Summit Intermediate School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 children, one entering and one exiting Summit. I feel lucky that my children go to this school. My oldest is now prepared for middle school and my youngest is excited to begin intermediate school. We have had an amazing experience at this school. I wanted to leave a review because the other 2 reviews were negative and our experience couldn’t be further from that.Parent Review2y ago - High Pointe Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child loved going to West. He knew when he was in trouble that he had to own up to his mistakes. He learned to respect the teachers and staff and students. He excelled at technology and was given the chance to grow his skills in that aspect and not be held back to others skill levels. I recommend this school to anyone moving to the area.Parent Review5y ago - JOHN THOMAS SCHOOL OF DISCOVER
