McCurdy Elementary School in Hazelwood, Missouri

“The kids love their teachers and have learned a lot from them. However, a new teacher from last year seemed extremely overwhelmed and without the support from the principle. When we talked to the teacher she would always work with us to make the best year ever. I was chased down by the asst. principle because my son did not flush the toilet.”

“I am very disappointed in the teachers and the principal of McCurdy School. Teachers seem to only know how to teach one way. I would like to take my child out of this school in the future. Hopefully to a private school.”

“Ultimately, I feel somewhat disappointed with McCurdy--and the Hazelwood District as a whole. We moved from an area with an excellect school district, and the difference between the social opportunities, the curriculum etc are very drastic. For example, the expectations of the children and what they should learn each year is far less than the aggressive curriculum of other schools. Also, there is a lack of 'community feel' to the school, and generally less apparent interest of parents in working together for the benefit of the children. On a the positive side, the majority of children are of just two major ethnicities, but well-integrated and seem genuinely friendly toward one another. Not all of the teachers are equal either. Some seem fresh and capable. Others seem mean and stagnant,--which includes the teacher aides. Lastly, the office staff is unprofessional and snippy, as if they aren't expected to be respectful toward parents.”

“My husband and I are very dissatisfied with McCurdy. The teachers seem to be very willing to work with us, however, the Prinipals willingness to work with parents and/or staff has A LOT to be desired!!!!”

“The teachers definitely do have a high turn over rate and it is true about the lack of support from the principle as well.”

“This school has wonderful teachers, but it has a high teacher turn over rate. Most teacher transfer to other school due to the Principals lack of support to the teachers. Most parents and teachers aren't involved in the PTA due to the lack of support from the Principal.”
