If you're looking for a good school in Southwest Missouri, definitely check out Webb City. I went…read moreto high school there and had a broad academic selection of classes. Everything from auto tech to drama to French to AP Chemistry. The football team is outstanding as is the band program. The teachers throughout the district are highly thought of and the superintendent recently received the 2010 Missouri Superintendent of the Year.

Ok, so this is an honest review of my experience being around this district and what I have…read moreobserved. Also, I know that every school district is going to have issues but this is my experience with this district. To start, buildings clearly need some work. Leak spots can be seen inside several buildings and some areas look rather old and unsanitary. Also, the Middle School building clearly has some issues. Administration CLEARLY doesn't support staff members and the school staff does not seem to flow together well because of bad leadership. Middle School Administration NEEDS TO CHANGE. Also, behavior issues do not seem to get resolved at the Middle School. Principals just put off the duty of discipline and make it the teachers responsibility. Due to this, the school has some MAJOR ISSUES!I do not recommend the Middle School! UPDATE: I have heard from a close source that the district admin has placed a TEMPORARY 3rd principal at the MIDDLE SCHOOL. The principals must really suck if you have to have a SUB principal come in and show you how to do your job. If you are interested in working here you better hope you have a friend or relative that works here because this DISTRICT ONLY hires people with connections to the district. To me this shows that this district does not really care about our kids. They would rather put someone less qualified in a position that has a relative working in their school than a more qualified candidate who could benefit our kids and this district!

Our child went there from infant to Toddler 2 when the daycare hired new caregivers for that room…read more Video showed the kids pushing hitting pinching biting. I took my child out of class for weeks, and often only took them a few days during a week when I had family help. We had no problems at home with the behavior. When they got to the room they went to survival mode. Four toddlers on the stairs no one monitoring caused pushing, falls, bites, and scratches. At reading time the children would sit almost on top of each other and the caregiver which would cause more fighting. I got regular pictures and updates through out the day in all the other classes and video showed children being monitored on the stairs and being taught how to sit in a group without tackling their neighbors to get to the front. They weren't swinging toy's around and hitting the others in the face or knocking each other down in the previous room. I paid a premium amount and feel that I couldn't continue to put my child through this. To be fair the previous rooms caregivers we're great.
