Curvin-McCabe School

This School The Greatest!!! This School Should Get More Organized MORE though... But it's great!

The principal of this school has no social skills. She has set an uninviting and dull tone to this school. The teachers are also unfriendly and all out cranky. My daughter is in the third grade and I cannot wait to remove her from this school. We are moving out of the district! Her teacher yelled at a student that they should mind their own business and come talk to her when she gets a college degree. "I have three, come talk to me when you get one". Unbelievable!!! Do NOT SEND YOUR KID TO THIS SCHOOL! The school complains that there is not enough parent involvement but they do not create an enviorment for parents to want to get involved. The afterschool program COZY is better run and has more compassionate staff than the school itself. The school has gone through three principals in 4 years. That should say it all.

My 12 years old just graduated as honor student with the help of this great school. I have a 8 year old in school and a 5 year old starting this year. The dedication of the teachers to theirs student is on of the things that I love about the school. Overall this is a very good school.

I take offence to what the previous parent said about the area being 'low income'. We are not a low income family and most of the people that live here are not low income. The school is a good school and my son enjoys it their. He really enjoys going to the after school programs.His teacher is great and we enjoy how the PTO gets the family's involved we always have fun at the mother son dance's. Overall it is a pretty good school not to many improvments are needed.

Curvin-McCabe is located in a lower income neighborhood. That being said, the staff has made great strides in recent years to bring up test scores and expose students to art and music. The families and PTO are wonderful. The staff really cares about the children. They ran a terrific summer program this year that my daughter was able to participate in for free. I am very glad that my daughter goes to Curvin. This year, my daughter is participating in the Accelerated Reader program in which she reads books and is tested on them in order to earn incentives. I participated in the school carnival last year, which is part of the great incentives program that Curvin uses to motivate students. I have an opportunity to move, but I don't want to move out of the area because Curvin is a good school.

When my son started kindergarten he needed speech therapy. My doctors office didn't give me my IAP, the speech teacher heard my son speaking in Kindergarden and helped me to put him in speech, after 3 months you could never tell that he had a speech problem.

I have excellent teachers for both of my children. They have been both excelled in math and english. The PTO is very involved with the school. It is a close family oriented school. The Special Ed department is above excellent. Keep up the excellent work!
