Everyone knows this is the absolute worst school in the district. My child has fallen behind so much it makes me sick. Calling this school a daycare would be a compliment. My student has been terrorized and physically assaulted almost every single day. This school is literally a fight club. Whenever I try to talk to staff about my child being body slammed I am told the kids here have problems its the Southside. They dont care about children here. Clock in clock out. I wish someone would investigate this school its disgusting

The teachers do not know how to talk to the kids in the school and are fast to suspend the kids without all the facts. By far the worst school for kids in the district

There is absolutely zero tolerance to bullying. The staff knows that students learn best when they feel comfortable at school. Students are taught to get along and help one another.

Every possible measure is taken when a student needs help. Hunter is very good at helping students reach their full potential.

Once a week the counselor go into the classrooms and teach the students about different topics such as bullying, being responsible, how to be a good friend, ect. They are not just teaching the students math and reading, but also life skills they will need.

The teachers give out an appropriate amount of homework. Students do not have hours of homework at night because the teachers know that is ineffective when it comes to the students learning.

The teachers there are well educated on the diversity and needs of the students. Since there are so many different cultures and background of students, the teacher need to know how to approach all of them, and they do. The teachers care and do a wonderful job with the students.
