Woods Cross School

My son has spent three years at this school and it has all been a good experience!

We have loved Muir for years, 5 of our children have attended over a 16 year period of time. The teachers and other other school employees have been wonderful and provided opportunities for our children to grow and succeed. This year, there is new administration and my son feels fearful and unsafe due to stringent and cold leadership. The environment of care and concern for our children that has been fostered for years, is disintegrating and I am very concerned that our kids best interest or the support of our teachers is taking a back seat to other agendas.

I have 3 children at this school. All the teachers my children have ever had are good teachers, very loving and hard working, but its a low income school with many students coming from less than perfect backgrounds. The teachers work so hard, and I've noticed they jump grades often to find good matches. I feel like the number of difficult children per class is rising almost out of control. They use lots of incentives and bribery programs which work really well for kids with misbehaviors, but its not great with self motivated kids. It's has very small rooms which limits class size.
