If your kid had any kind of special needs, you will be forgotten about, and strung along. We will be leaving the area just because of the school district. They will come after you.

If you cAre about your kids don't send them here, coming from a past student. Kids are out of control and the teachers do nothing. One girl was literally doing cartwheels Around the classroom and the teacher didn't say anything.

this school is really on top of things. i have informed them of issues at my sons last school and it has made a huge difference that the classes are smaller and the teachers are informative.

The worst school in the district. From personal experience and mirrors what I have heard from every other parent that has had a child attend here.

Posted: April 5, 2019

I don't believe the teacher has even once checked any homework turned in.
Not even once concerned if it is even turned in at all

Spend most of their time just trying to keep the children in order.

Quite the opposite. I've seen my child and friends of others, personalities become more depressed, and much more which there is not enough space here to go into.

My student left this school last year when we moved, nothing was ever done about them being bullied...
I'm happy to say we're now in a school that's truely zero tolerance for bullying.

Well since her teacher she had for 2 years in a row decided that she wasn't going to care about the no contact order I would say the teachers need some work.

My child was promised she would be watched over I 5th grade after she was put into the same class as the bully and yet they put them into the same cabin for 5th grade. Her teacher didn't see that it was an issue yet my child was shoved the first week of school and hit weeks later... My child was made out to be the one with the problem and now is suffering from anxiety because of it.

My daughter was bullied for 5 years at Covington by the same person while staff and administration did nothing. Her 5th grade ended in a no-contact order with the student since they were put in the same grade level. Do what you can to not have your child go here, it's not a safe place for someone who is "timid" because district administration will then inform your child that they can see why they were bullied...

We recently left Covington and at their new school I found out that both of my daughter were horribly behind in math and had been taught the block ten incorrectly, with the help of the new teachers my daughter are now advanced in math!! My oldest was bullied so badly at Covington school that she still has problems trusting other kids to be nice and for adults to listen to what she is telling them.
