Hillside Middle School

Our children went to Independence Primary. The staff is so friendly and caring. They make remarkable improvements academically from being exposed to the caring teachers at the school. We loved it!

Never in my life have I been more disappointed....For starters, the teachers are so unprofessional. They interact with students like they are not kids. They do not support the kids, especially in the junior high. They provide poor education and set the students up for failure. They have unrealistic expectations for the students. From personal experience, I can say it was a toxic environment. The teachers have clear favorites and do not have problems bringing students down. It is sad to know more kids have to go through what I did. As some students are favored, others are targeted. If one mistake is made, the teachers and staff will hold grudges. In the beginning, all is good. But as the years went on, it just got worse. Teachers are oblivious that some students come from different places. I wish I could say it was a good experience throughout my education there, but that is simply not true. Students are not supposed to dread going to school every day. they go through teachers and staff so fast because they hire random people will little teaching experience. Why should these people be trusted with KIDS.I wish the best to anyone who goes to this school because they need it.
