A very good teaching staff. Did wonders for my grandchildren

School is pretty good but lacks of field trips. Kids need to get out more and have fun. So they could be more participating. Also that teachers should be more better and be more fun at learning and do experiment with learning. The most teachers who do this is Sara Jones and Ms. Caudle. That is all of my review today.

This school has made great improvements to get the right people on the bus. Very impressed with the Principal and his ability to try to change the culture of failure. There is a high turnover rate with the teachers because the pay for teachers in Arizona isn't very good. Teachers can go teach in Nevada or California for a good pay increase. This school will continue to do better because of the leadership with in the school care about the students and their success in education.

Physical facilities are negative, but I found the teachers to be very positive. State scores were increasing while administration was changing. I was very impressed with positive attitude of teachers and leaders. I have put three children through the grades.Parent involvement is poor, but it is poor at other schools also.I am encouraged with state test scores going up.

Acdemic programs seem adequate considering many of the students come from low socioecomic status. I'm amazed at the number of times my daughter does not come home with homework. My daughter says this school has many discipline problems

This school could benefit greatly from having a qualified staff of older teachers. Too many young and ineffectual teachers have come and gone. Principals come and go so fast the staff doesn't have time to implement the new edu-crap that each one brings to the school. One principal road his unicycle around the halls. Principals are hired who have no principles.

In my opinion Bullhead Jr. High needs alot of work. The teachers are not student nor parent friendly. Student are left behind in areas of academics due to lack of communication. Students grades suffer from teachers either not being efficient or just uncaring. Numerous times in speaking with student at this school one of the chief complaints were that they dont feel important. Teachers misfile completed assignment giving a higher risk of failing grades for already struggling children. Student that are noticably shutting down in the classroom are just over looked until a mear '4' weaks prior to the final grading period. This school even ran out of paper for at least a month again failing the student in gaining satisfactory grades. This school last I checked was 50th in spending per student. Teachers are paid prep time and extra to teach a class instead of preping.
