Guess what - good lesson for the kid. It's doesn't really matter what your intention was, only how the comment was received. If you have to explain yourself, you probably should have thought a little more in depth before opening your mouth. As far as the front office staff is concerned, I've had to pull my 8th grader out every other month for orthodontist appointments since 6th grade and I've never had a problem. Sounds like the logistics and some of the personal problems of some of these parents might be causing issues for the school so a little push back is taken as rudeness. I'm reality, they're doing their best to make sure the kids are safe and secure. This is my son's final year at Bella Vista (6th grade was full COVID, distance learning) and he's excelled academically. He went in with straight A's from elementary school, started in advanced classes, and has maintained his excellent grades. The teachers are reasonable and firm with expectations based in realism - face it, they're working with freakin' pre-teens and young teens - terrible job in my opinion but glad they are there doing their best for my son everyday. My daughter will gladly go to Bella Vista after another year of elementary school because big brother has had such a positive experience.

Dorothy McElhinney Middle School offers a strong educational environment overall, and our…read moreexperience has been mostly positive. The campus is clean, organized, and feels safe, and many of the teachers are truly dedicated to supporting students. My child has had some great classroom experiences and has grown academically thanks to several caring, engaged educators. However, not all interactions have been consistent. While most teachers have been wonderful, there have been a couple who were less supportive or less communicative, which created some challenges. It didn't define the entire experience, but it's worth noting since it affected our child's year at times. Communication from administration is generally clear and responsive, and the school offers a solid range of electives and extracurriculars. The culture is positive, and students seem encouraged to push themselves and get involved.

It would have been nice to have left with a win however, our group still had a great time.

It's been in the high 80s lately, and they're still making the kids sit outside in the blazing sun with barely any shade or cooling options. How is this okay? For such a big campus I expect more shade for these concerning weathers, It's honestly unacceptable to expect students to focus or even feel well while sweating in the heat like that. At the very least, they should be allowed to stay indoors or provided with proper shade. It just feels like common sense is missing here. Not to mention my child always wanting to come home because of how hot it is , provide shade for these loves!!

This school is not adequately preparing students for the real world at graduation. Teachers and…read morecounselors have a responsibility to identify and support students who are falling behind, particularly in reading, math, and science (not grade up). Failing to do so may amount to a dereliction of duty as mandated reporters, especially when students continue through the system without the support they need. When graduates leave high school unprepared, the impact extends beyond the classroom, affecting the community and the country's future workforce and leadership. Grades should reflect a student's actual level of learning, not merely their progress from one grade to the next.

Our experience at Warm Springs Middle School has been deeply concerning, especially when it comes…read moreto student safety. Bullying is a serious issue here and doesn't seem to be taken as seriously as it should be. My child has witnessed--and unfortunately been affected by--multiple incidents of physical fights on campus, some of which were barely addressed by staff. It's alarming how common these altercations are, and how little follow-up there seems to be. We expected a safe and supportive environment for learning, but instead found ourselves constantly worried about our child's well-being. When we brought up concerns to administration, the response felt dismissive and reactive rather than proactive. This school desperately needs stronger leadership when it comes to campus safety, clear policies around bullying, and more supervision during breaks and passing periods. Students should feel protected and valued, not scared to go to school. If I could give 0 stars I absolutely would.
