N A Howry Intermediate School

The front desk ladies are VERY rude. The way they treat the children is awful. I personally witnessed the lady at the front desk tell a child to sit on the floor and that he lost his chair privileges just because he got up out of his seat. He was not around anyone, nor bothering anyone. Everyone in the front office was talking, but the sending the child made a peep she yelled at him and told him to “keep his mouth shut”. When you call up there they blow you off and try to get you off the phone as fast as possible. The teachers are not any better. Over all i have yet to hear good things about this school. STAY AWAY!!

This is an amazing example of a neighborhood school. Joy James Academy is part of the Leader in Me community. Students have a voice and are true leaders within the school and community. Parents, teachers and community members work together as a team!

My son was bullied and when I went to the Vice Principal she told me my son was “jealous” and was also told he was a “bad kid”! Thank God we moved. I would strongly recommend NOT taking your child to this school. The teachers I came in contact with were rude and don’t have the child’s best interest at heart. If a child is too difficult they pass him on to another class or send him to the office. I felt so sorry for my sons teacher she was brand new and was being trained poorly by this school. I could go on and on about how bad it was. We are at a school now that is lovely and cares for the children and has a NO BULLYING policy!
