South Elementary School

Great school, the most excellent principal ever,and good teachers! I love this district mostly for this school. All three of my kids have gone here and I wish all kids could have school experiences this good! The principal knows all of the students' names, no kidding, every 800+ student! He is outside with the teachers on bus duty and gives the students high-fives in the halls while saying hello to them by name. His attitude inspires the teachers so this truly is a gem of a school. School pride, respect for themselves and others, and love of learning is taught in this school every day in unique ways that increases the kids' self-esteem. Unfortunately, the building was only built to hold 450 kids and with 800+ enrolled, the entire second grade is in outside portables. That is a district problem and one they are dealing with the best they can. We love South Elementary!

The teachers are taking the no child left behind act to serioucly. They are passing children that can't read or write or even say their name correctly. That is so sad. Raymore missouri schools do not care about the children. It is all about politics and money. Teachers talk about children behind their backs. They belittle them and degrade them. They minipulate them and lie to their parents because it is all about money. How sad. I wouldn't wish raymore schools on my worst enemy.
