Jesse D Scott Elementary School

This school’s low ranking is not surprising given the leadership. The principal’s attitude is extremely concerning and comes across as disconnected from the well-being of the students. It often feels like the focus is more on collecting a paycheck than genuinely supporting and protecting the children.There have been multiple incidents where inappropriate behavior has been overlooked or dismissed, particularly when it involves students of the same ethnic background as the principal. Even more troubling are the repeated concerns raised about racism within the school, which seem to be ignored or handled inconsistently. It creates an environment where accountability feels selective rather than fair and unbiased.When it comes to academics, there also appears to be a lack of genuine investment in student success. Overall, the leadership sets a tone that does not prioritize safety, equity, or quality education, and it shows.

The three ladies working in the office are very rude (Tineil, Veronica, and Tammylene). No matter how polite you are, whether you greet them or thank them, they always respond with rudeness. When you first enter and ask them a question, they often ignore you, choosing instead to stare at their computers. Their lack of manners and unwelcoming attitudes create a negative atmosphere. Schools should foster a welcoming environment for students and families, but the behavior of these three ladies does the opposite. It damages the school's reputation and drives families away.
