I called for information on how to transfer my son out of the school since I moved out of the district and the Mr Walker who’s the principal was very nasty on the phone. He refuse to help me and made me feel less of a mother because my son went to charter school instead. I’m happy my son won’t
Posted by a parent on 9/1/2022I'm a mother We'll I'm a mother of two sons who attend Langston Hughes school and my oldest son which is in middle school catch a bus to pick up his siblings after school and the principle treated him poorly. I'm VERY displeased with the principle Ms.Jackson. My son told me she is very nasty to him
Posted by a parent on 1/7/2015Langston Hughes School is terrible but it could much better with a new principal. Ms.Jackson is so rude to parents and her staff. She talks down to everyone. She allows bullying and she does nothing about kids bullying each other. It's time for a change at Langston Hughes School.
Posted by a parent on 7/7/2014Mrs. Jackson and Ms. Tidwell....please retire already. They are rude and impolite to their own teachers. Mr. Edwards is not assertive enough with the students- he seems clueless. The students in the upper grades are out of control! The administrative team is weak and has no expectation for behavior-
Posted by a community member on 10/23/2013The teacher is working under pressure from the Principal. The staff is good but when the principal come around . The school needs a principal and a new vice principal, toh I almost forgot the staff in the office is unprofessional they say one thing and the broad of education says the right thing.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a great school, no parent should leave a child to sharpen their learning skills solely from what is taught by the teacher. I work with my son's teacher throughout the yr to reap grt results. Keep on keeping on Dionne Warwick!Parent Review9y ago - Ecole T Loverture School
