Mason Intermediate Elementary School

My daughter's teachers, up to the 6th grade, were okay. In 6th grade, she got lemons. She's always maintained an A or B in subjects. In a couple subjects, she's sunk down to C+ (okay, she can focus and work a little harder to pull up the grade) However, in one of her classes, she went from a B to a D+. This teacher has written my daughter up for lame reasons, and when my daughter tries to clarify or ask this teacher questions, she gets snotty "I went over that" responses. This is a SCHOOL, not a job training or prison. The students ask questions to LEARN and the teacher's responsibility is to TEACH--not give kids snotty responses. It's not the students' fault that the teachers are busy. Then, there's this pizza party only for children with few writeups. This ostracism is really cold. These are 6th graders--kids!

I am a parent of a student at Mason Intermediate. I am also a teacher there. It is a school that creates an environment that is warm, friendly, approachable. One that instills in its students the desire to excel and take academic risks that grow them as learners. The administration is made up of professionals who truly put the students first. They bring on board parents, teachers, and students as the team to insure success in the lives of the students.

Great teachers, great parents and administrators! We've had wonderful experiences at Mason schools, and nothing to complain about. My kids learn many things that I never thought they would be taught at their age! I really think this will prepare them for their futures! Thanks!

Mason Intermediate School does a great job of getting the kids prepared for Junior High and beyond. School is large, but class sizes are reasonable. Mason ranks 4th in Ohio Educational system for a Public School. Have very talented teachers.

Wow I am glad others have good things to say. We moved in this summer and had a rough start. They just seemed to think that we knew the system-and they have a stystem. But being new to the district we did not know how things ran. I miss our small neighborhood school. Where the principals knew each student by name. We seem to have a lot of stress on test score-but that seems to be the wave in education. I hope they are teaching the students to be critical life thinkers-not just good achievemnt test takers.

I love this school. My son's teachers are wonderful, and really seem to enjoy what they do everyday. They have made my son enjoy learning! The school is WAY to BIG, and the class sizes ARE WAY TO BIG, but the teachers seem to do just fine. As far as the administration.....I haven't seen any of them since the first day, but they were very nice! For a great education....MECC has great teachers....but you have to be able to look over your child going to a school that seems to be as big as a community college!

I like the enviroment, teachers and staff at Mason Intermediate. My only dislike is that a child can become stagnate in a academic subject b/c they schools focuses on state scores. My child is not challenged here but the atmosphere is great. I will probably have my child attend a private school for junoir high.

Our family absolutely loves the school district. My child is in 5th grade and we have been very pleased with our experience. The school is quite large but the staff seems to be able to manage that. Administrators at the school are wonderful and I would recommend Mason to anyone looking to move into the area.

Great experience. I have a child with special needs and the school works very hard to accommodate.

Teacher's not 'allowed' to offer advice for teacher or classroom placement for following year, leading to a dart throwing exercise to select a teacher who will best fit your child's learning style. School is not at all accomodating for working / single parents. Schools will fee you to death even though they wastefully exhaust all monies the community keeps providing by voting through tax increases. Most teachers I have been involved with are caring and excellent teachers. You do run into a few who seem to spend every spare moment discussing in-depth details of their personal lives with their students.
