Avondale Elementary School

Totally disappointed with Hubbard. They changed their name after my child started attending, no longer "mastery", likely because they could not live up to the title. Everytime I go to the school they make feel like I am inconveniencing them in some way. Bare minimum effort and lackadaisical attitudes by most of the staff, an example of the district as a whole.

Mr. Scott followed a very hands off principal who was absent or disengaged most of the time. When he came to Highland last year, the school was a mess. Bullying and harassment was pervasive and parents overtook the school to their pleasure. He came, set order in the school, implemented strict discipline expectations for staff and students. He even held parents accountable for our conduct. I did not like him at all until I saw the difference in my childs reading performance. I must admit, I was leary of having a stern African-American male leading a school in a community that has little to no positive Black males. He often brags about being the first Black male in the school's 120 year history. He decided to leave to pursue a doctorate. The school has not been the same since he left. I will miss him. I hope Columbus City Schools knows what they lost. The very parents that did not like him because of his color are now saying they miss him.

Excellent this far. We love the latch key with Ms. Tate and Ms. Math is.

I love this school. My child is autistic and has came a long way. The principal and the teachers have helped me tremendously.

The worst experience of my life. These people shouldn't even be allowed to operate a school.

This was the worst school ever. My daughter came home crying almost everyday. The preist even laid his hands on her. The teachers didn’t care. The only things she liked were some of the teachers and her friends. My daughter said most of the people in her class hated the school and wanted to leave it.
