I have had children going to Prairie Grove school since
2008. It is way different, I understand that security measures have to be taken in the world we live in however the district itself is taken it to an extreme. It is no longer family or parent friendly. The staff treats you like you were an inconvenience and like they're scared to even talk to you. The schools around like prisons quite literally it's not an environment. I want my children in so that's why after 18 years of having kids in the Prairie Grove school district I am pulling my children out. They will go to a smaller school that is family oriented in that cares about parents and families being involved. The district snow bullying policy is not withheld. It is actually very lax and they have police officers that are not welcoming and not friendly to the children in particular officer Rollins he is very hotheaded and he bullies kids and yes, it's the typical small school district where the teachers and staffing's kids get different rules of regulations compared to the regular students. The only positive thing I can say about the district is they have an excellent special ed program and that is it.

teachers for the most part are very good and caring. Administration on the other hand is a big problem. The principle hides in her office and does not seem to want to get involved if there is a problem and the VP believes in rule by intimidation. He is always right and has perfect kids of his own because he compares everyone to his. I have seen him in action, might be OK for a military school, but has no business in a public one

Agree with other poster, poor administration. Morningstar is very bad for this school and the students here. Leadership really stinks and the kids here suffer for it. Find a better school for the sake of your childs future.

As much as I would love to rate this school with high stars, I just can't. Most of the teachers are great with a few exceptions, as with most schools, but when it comes to administration (principal, vice principal) don't expect your voice to be heard or acknowledged. The VP is known for comparing everything to his son, "if my son can deal with this, yours can" type of statements are always flowing out of his mouth. I would say he is the driving force of a lot of negative feelings for the middle school within the community. I have not seem much respect for the parents from him, just his useless interjections and arrogant ramblings. The secretary is amazing and will do her best to help you any chance she can. I also really do appreciate the counselor and her crazy words of wisdom. She really seems to care for the children. Sadly the lack of good leadership causes this school to run a muck all to often. Last year some of the students were not even allowed to eat in the cafeteria for breakfast, even on cold wet days. Parents were just offered another son comparison "my son did this before, he was fine", and many kids ended up not eating because of this. I wish parents had a voice here.
