I have been to this school several times during the 2021 to 2023 school years and saw firsthand how much it has fallen. The lower grades are unsupervised. I brought this to the PTA. Teachers in lower grades have kids allover the hallways. The school has kids wonder off playground to parking lots as teachers are on iPhone.

2023, my kids attended Mary W Jackson, formerly Tucker Capps... The kindergarten hall to grades 2 was total chaos. I saw kids wandering the halls and some walked outside unattended from grade 5. The principal and african american secretary, along with a pre k teacher, allowed a student to curse loudly as I was there visiting. Many 4th graders were also wandering the playground when I pulled up to park. I dont recommend this school due to safety reasons. I experienced this at least 5 or 6 times I visited. The academics are lacking as the prek and k teachers just babysitted my kids, not teaching. Horrible

This school was great to us. I only wish that COVID never happened so I could feel safer letting my daughter go back. It absolutely broke my heart to pull her out.

My son has been going to Tucker's Capps for the past two years (K-1st grade). His teachers for both of those year were EXCEPTIONAL. They take their time with the students and reward them accordingly while helping with behavior issues. Simply put, I 'LOVES' this school. If you have kids just starting out, this is the school for you!!

The staff does not know how tell the honest truth. They will kick you off any club, or activity you do for the school for the most stupidest things like how they took my child off safety patrol for someone offering candy and she simply said '' yes ''! If your looking for a great experiment don't go to Tucker Capps!
