Kids are not safe at this school. I have had 3 children in this school over the past 10 years and all 3 are extremely bullied to the point of having to leave before other kids so they dont get jumped. My kindergartner came home with a busted lip the second week of school. The admins at this school are a joke. Please take your children elsewhere if you can.

My daughter literally tells me every day they worked on a letter of the alphabet. Thats it. Ive not had ANY updates on her all year. The test scores are BAD. I never even knew her actual teachers name. If fox is youre only option please homeschool. This elementary is a disgrace and a joke. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS GO TO FOX. Biggest regret I ever made. Tear the school down is what needs to happen. Worst school worst staff worst bullying worst parent teacher relationship

My 4 year old received RINGWORM from this awful school. The principal Ms. Scarborough tried to tell me it was bug bites that he has scratched and picked at! It was diagnosed by his pediatrician that he has RINGWORM! They do not sanitize those classrooms very well or those mats!! My son has yet to bring home his blanket that was sent on the first day of school (AUG 8th)! My 4 year old has never had ringworm and he has being going to daycare since he was 6 months old. Ms. Scarborough, the principal, kept making excuses for this disgusting issue. She stated she has not noticed anything on any other kids, but they didnt notice anything on my son either! If I did not care and did not bring it to their attention, he would still be in class! They did not want me to check him out for the day. However, I did not feel comfortable with my child at school like that! That school is pathetic and the teachers and staff are very nonchalant.

The principal does not act concerned when addressing her with an issue.

This is the most awful school in Columbus, Ga! They get a new leaders of the school every year, & none of them EVER have anything organized or know what they are doing. The assistance principle is racist, & NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE HORRIBLE BULLYING GOING ON ON THE PLAYGROUND, NOR AFTER SCHOOL!!! My children have came home with scratches, bruises, knots on their heads & no teacher has any idea how it happened. While the children are on the playground, the teachers ignore the students & doesn't watch them as they should. My children will not ever go back to this school. They really need MCSD to step in & do their jobs necause I can assure you that no one at that school really cares for your child nor their safety! Some teachers are ok, & only some! My daughter told on a student who pushed her off the top of the playground & got scraped up & bruised really bad, the teacher put her in the corner for telling!!! This is horrible. If you care for your child & their safety, you wouldn't send you child there! Worst school in this town!!! Be very, very careful with this school! Our children are not cared for & aren't safe!!!
