Munford High School

Do NOT let the test scores keep you from this amazing institution. I am going to deeply miss this school when we have to leave and wish that we could take it with us. You will not find a better sense of community. Every single person I came into contact with was a wonderful human being. I spent a lot of time there volunteering and I have see the care that they have for the kids. I would come back any day!!!

We sent our daughter to this school thinking it was the best option in the county. I can tell you we were sadly mistaken so much so that we are considering home schooling. Her teacher has missed more days than I can remember and one day we found out she didn’t even have a substitute. They just broke the class apart and sent them to random rooms. When we’ve visited for lunch, we notice that no one monitors the kids in the halls. We’re talking about 6 year olds so if your child doesn’t return from lunch who knows where they are I guess. No one verifies any information in the car rider line. As long as you give them a child’s name, they will be released to you. No tag needed. We’ve had days mixed up and multiple people show up to get our daughter & it’s up to us to find her. They’ll only tell you that she isn’t there. For this reason she has a tracker. We also got a note threatening to fine us for absences if we don’t send in a note. Well we did but since her teacher was absent so much some of those never made it to the office. I started giving them directly to the office & she still gets marked as unexcused. She caught a bad respiratory infection that’s required her to get breathing treatments when she wakes up, apparently that is not an excusable reason to be late. She also had a fever at school and they failed to send her home or inform us. She appeared visibly ill. On top of this school clearly not caring about your child’s well being, she also has regressed this year. We put her in summer learning programs. Her state test scores showed she was doing well at the beginning of the year. We are now at the end of the year and we consistently have to reteach her concepts that she had previously mastered because she goes to school and doesn’t do much of anything. Her class is unorganized and there have been numerous instances where we will ask her about concept in the lesson plan that she should be learning and she reports that they aren’t learning that in class. Needless to say she will not be returning in the fall. I will say the school is very festive. Plenty of dress up days.
