Really love how the teachers communicate with the parents of course as a parent you have to be on top of your child’s grades or missing assignment on infinite campus on a weekly basis. I love how the alerts come on. Also, the teachers are more than willing to work with your child to turn in assignme
Posted by a parent on 1/13/2024I am absolutely astounded with how awful this place is. The staff doesn't care if your child is failing. My daughter was failing 5 classes and not a single teacher reached out. I had to engage all of them. A few of them finally responded when I told them how disappointing it was that I had to engage
Posted by a parent on 10/23/2023The children are not comfortable with their teachers. The administrators will protect bullies and penalize the students that are being threatened. They will suspend students for just walking with other students. They refuse to meet with parents or provide evidence of the reason of a suspension. They
Posted by a parent on 9/19/2023I don't know where the high rating comes from. My daughter has been bullied at this school for all the years she's been here. There is no action from anybody on any level about it. She gets called names and mocked. She gets harassed and her bike gets deflated and called ugly. She's told the manageme
Posted by a community member on 6/6/2023Our experience with Mendive Middle School had been wonderfully positive. We are highly impressed with their current administration as he and his counselor and teachers are responsive and caring. The Principal is a hands-on leader, great communicator, and very caring adult. We see him as a daily cros

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI transferred my son to this school towards the beginning of the year due to a horrific experience at a private school. My son was welcomed with open arms, made friends and his teacher—Mrs. Hall—is extremely efficient and gives individualized help to all her students. This school feels like an extension of family and I’m so happy I moved him here.Parent Review1y ago - Bud Beasley Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe wanted to love this school, but unfortunately the Dean and Principle have made it difficult to do so. Their disregard on how they speak to parents is very concerning. If you request to speak with them, they immediately become agitated, and respond with dismissive , defensive and fabricated reasons as to why they are right before you can even voice fully why you are concerned or what you need clarification on. If you disagree and have questions , their response is "well it makes sense to us, and your child will adjust." Kids getting hurt on the playground is justified to your child did not disclose the full truth to you as their parent nor was your child able to communicate well with their teacher, and this is why the child's care was delayed though the visible blood on clothing and bruising on nose. I am very disappointed with the lack of support they provide to younger grades, especially with how the kids are directed to arrive at the after school program. I was told all safety precautions were though of and planned out. They even lock the outside gates up at 3:15, so no one would be able to leave the school instead of attending the afterschool program. But 3:45 and gates wide open not locked. I hope they can do better. As a parent this is not what I imagined my child would be exposed to.Parent Review2y ago
