Cleveland Bailey Elementary School

Posted: May 20, 2016

This is a wonderful school. My son is austistic and went to a school in Oklahoma City last year. I don't want to mention what school it was but after going to Cleveland Bailey, I now believe the school in OKC just gave my son "busy" work. He didn't learn anything there. Just scribbled all day and they said they found a way to keep him occupied by wrapping a rubber band around the legs of his chair. Well shortly after attending Cleveland Bailey, he spoke better, he wrote better, and he even started reading. His teachers are amazing. They worked with him everyday and everyday there was a note on his working saying "he did this independently; or he needs help with this." You can tell they love teaching and love their kids. I am so greatful to have them as my son's teachers and would not have him go to any other school. Today's the last day of school and i know he will miss them. Thank you so much Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Lauren for all that you do.

Depends upon the teachers. Again, I don't think that this is any different from any other school. Some teachers are fabulous and you would wish nothing more than that teacher(s) following your children all the way through their education because of how invested they are in your children and their learning. On the other hand, there are some that should not be teachers or just a paradigm shift. Regardless, with the State Testing Requirements, there has also been a tremendous amount of burden on our teachers that needs to be addressed.

Just right, to too much. This is elementary school. There is a lot of research out there about the significance and effects of homework at this grade level. Ultimately, it depended on the student and their ability to address the homework. For some of my kids it was a breeze, for others they had to work too much and too long to get the homework done.

Honesty, integrity, and fairness is engrained in the child before they even step into the schools or the parent has failed to do their job. Does the school and teachers uphold honesty, integrity, and fairness, that is the question. I think that the teachers do require the students to be honest, have integrity, and to be fair. I would like to believe that as an adult professional, the teacher would do the same and have the same standard, but in the case of our experience, that is questionable at best.

We have attended this school for the past 3 school years. When we first arrived at Cleveland Bailey, it was truly a hidden gem in a neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets of Midwest City. I could sit and sing praises for an hour or more of the teachers and principal who was an integral part of the school and that there was nothing that was below her. You could find her working out problems to cleaning tables between lunch sessions. She was everywhere! Knew everything that was going on. And I am pretty sure that she knew every one of her children in the school by name. This school year on the other hand, after multiple changes in administration in the school and teachers, I watched CB literally deteriorate. It is not the same school as it was! The new teachers are young, inexperienced, with little accountability. Admin runs around with their heads buried in the sand and refuse to address any issues. It is heartbreaking to experience as a family in the community and to watch the effect on your kids as they whine and cry about having to go to school where as just a year prior, they shined ecstatic with school pride. Hope for a rebound of the CB Bulldogs.

We were new to this district, my family started school at Cleveland Bailey 2014-15. They literally welcomed us with open arms. I had just closed on my home the day before school started and they waited on us so my two children can find their classrooms and meet their teachers. It was a great year and my kiddos learned so much, they loved their teachers!

The teachers in this school are extremely "clicky". They pick favorites and can be plain mean. Education wise they are average. The parents are what make this school a good place to send your kids.

My son went to this school from pre k to 5th grade. We actually moved out of the distract and continued to drive him there on a transfer. I couldn't have chosen a better group of teachers and faculty to take care of him. This year he went to middle school and I miss everyone from Cleveland Bailey so much.

All three of my kids attend this school and I love love love it! I'm so happy that we found this school. The principal is excellent and the teachers are my favorite. Best in the state I would say...this is a school that every kid should go to. Parent involvement is encouraged in all aspects of teaching and learning. I can't wait to find out our theme this year....I'm so excited :) GOOOOOOO BULLDOGS!!!
