My daughter was an 8th grader at Henderson last year. She was at a much larger school for 6th and 7th. She transitioned well, made friends, felt accepted by peers and teachers. She had typical middle school issues, but actually experienced less negative peer interaction at Henderson vs her other middle school (out of state). She passed all of her SOLs and feels prepared for high school.

Way too many fights at this school. Communication from Administrative to parent is not good at all. Children are continually being picked on by other students and nothing is being don't. School does not follow the IEP for children at all.

As a parent, our biggest picture is to see our children develop and grow into what is the best version of themself. As a parent, we dont know everything, and most of the time, we feel like failure, whenever facing our children difficult moments. My child whose first language is not english, received the support to improve his school performance at Henderson Middle School, through a very concerned, human way, thanks to the PRINCIPAL, MR GOODWIN, A MAN WHOLEHEARTED WHO SEES BEYOND A CHILD ACADEMIC ACHIEVMENT, I SAW A MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS, AND HELPS, therefore buils up CHAMPIONS. THANK YOU, SIR
