En general tengo una perseccion muy diferente de la escuela con los últimos comentarios que dejaron en años anteriores ya que los maestros están con contacto con los padres interesados en saber como se desarrollan sus hijos y siempre enfocados en ser ese apoyo en la escuela cuando mi hija renia una duda ella siempre le preguntaba a su maestra de grado y si había un rendimiento bajo siempre me comunicaron para juntas ser una mayor apoyo para que superará y mejorará

The principal is only there for a fashion show I guess. doesnt hold paraprofessionals nor teachers accountable for anything. the leaders are the receptionists they are the only ones that care about the student they are wonderful always helpful.

Humm where do I begin I dont even know if I wanna waste my breath on this pathetic school. I wouldnt send a dead dog here. This school is understaffed they have substitutes and non licenses teachers at the beginning of school year if not the whole school year. they dont make you or your child feel confident with a successful education. They do not involve parent with education information. so your child goes to school and comes home with half of the homework if any, no books because they dont have enough books. They didnt have a librarian at all last year so the children didnt go to the library. Sad sad thats all I can say. If your child is failing you wont know until its to late and on the report card. Teachers dont know the curriculum they are teaching common core from a New York website without full understandment. No open communication to make children successful. But they will call you because your child has on the wrong color socks. This school should have stayed a D school. all of the good teachers leave or are temporary from out of state. Their hardwork with the students is wasted because the next teacher doesnt continue with a successful school year. This school and all JPPS should be ashamed. Im ashamed for subjecting my child to this JOKE. If I have to pay out of pocket for private school and a better education I will. Please do yourself and child a favor and not send them to this CIRCUS. I regret even living in this school district. They dont even offer after school care and will not even contact B&GClub to have the transportation option for working parents. Just send your children to belle chasse or fill out for the scholarship program for private school. JPPS schools should be shut down and re-evaluate whoever stealing the education funds stop the system has failed our children. because these children deserve better. They are our future!

I wouldn't even give Mcdonough 26 one star if I could help it. They're ignorant, victimizing, lazy people. I am ashamed I sent my child there and subjected her to the ignorance and stupidity of the people working there. She had her hair cut, bullied, not taught properly, hit in the classroom and Despite us telling the teachers many times nothing at all was done about it. Do not send your child here for their own sake and futures.

I do not like this school. They are unprofessional and curse at your children. The teachers cannot handle the classrooms or the parents of their students. Just last week my daughter told me how her class mates mother cursed all the kids in the class out and no one told the woman anything. This is outrageous and unacceptable.
