Cummings Elementary School

This is school is in total disarray! My daughter attended this school for 2 years and in this time I saw things I should never see within school walls the teachers are only dedicated to students they "like" and many other students fall by the way side. My daughter struggled socially in this school which she has never done. The principal was obsessed with apperances. Tuition is inflated and the quality of education in this school is poor. If possible please take your little angels someplace else.

The staff is not professional and avoids helping parents dealing with problems other students bring.

I was hired to be the bqnd director but on day one was told the posistion was for general music and got push back when I brought up the posistion information that stated they were hiring for a band director. They said they want a band but need to get kids interested in it first before developing the program so wanted a general music teacher instead. The school is also disserving students because they do not have sped resources for the overwhelming majority of students who require more assistance than they can get from a normal classroom. Students at this school are not held accountable for their behavior which is reflected in their test scores because the majority of the time they are running the halls and vandalising school property along with disrupting other teachers classrooms. The administration has the attitude that puts students at risk later in life because they are not developing a sense of accountability to do the right thing on theirbown without coxing. Being rewarded in food and candy for just going into a classroom most days.

To some things all up I love this school I recommend this school for anybody to send their child to they do not tolerate bad behavior or bullying they will get to the bottom of things and also if your child is on IEP they do meetings immediately after you get a situated

I was so excited to learn that Memphis has a Performing Arts elementary school. I have never heard about an elementary school that focuses so heavily on the arts while still valuing the academic success of its students.
