They allow bullies at their school!!! My sons have been getting picked on everyday and I have contacted the principal and the superintend and yet they have done nothing about it.
Too many teachers have been fired by a vindictive and control hungry principal. If the principal doesn't like a teacher, she will do everything she can to make it impossible for that teacher to do what they are suppose to be doing. Many great teachers have had to leave this school because they didn't teach to a test or they wouldn't fudge grades (if they don't fudge them they end up losing their job). As for the students, most students are revolving or are given grades they don't deserve. I don't blame the teachers, I blame the administration for the failings in this school, mainly the principal. There is more going on than the parents know.
I'm grading Simpson a 5 star because the teachers there do keep me updated on my children academic learning and their behavior at all times. as for the asst. principal Mr. Thomas and the principal Ms. Nicholas always willing to jump to our children aids and the parents aid on assisting to help to better our children future's and their education. personally I as a parent of 5. 3 of my children attend Simpson and 1 attend Westwood elem. has had numerous contact with both asst. principal and principal and they are so much love and very concern bout our children. I would recommend any parent to send their children here. all staff of Simpson elem. are terrifiic and very dedicated staff members
Schools in general are here to help us help our children; as parents we have to make sure that we are involved with our kids, their teachers, and their school. I have had a great experience at this school and my daughter was prepared and ready for high school. Thanks to R. E. Simpson School. I give credit to them for her success, thank you.
I would not recomend this school to anyone! The curriculum is way behind.
Good teachers who are involved.....Miss old principal
Simpson is situated in a rough demographic area. The teachers are caring and I have had nothing but positive experiences at Simpson. Yes, the teachers may be a little tough and firm, but always fair.
I have encountered many teachers at Simpson who are dedicated and want their students to succeed.
Simpson School gets very poor in their extracurrier and discipline.
