Andrew Jackson Middle School

This is my daughters second year at Andrew Jackson Middle School. As a parent you have to really make sure your child is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Because the teachers just have too much to deal with in the classroom. I would suggest making frequent contact with the teachers. Most of the teachers are willing to give you updates on your child. The safety of the children as they are leaving the building is another issue. It's not as bad as last year, but there are still fights after school, that's being taped by the students and put on U-Tube. Some of the kids are off the hook. I'm so grateful that this is my daughters last year. I would not recommend this school to anyone. But if your child has to attend this school, please stay on top of the situation.

If the leadership is not competent, the teachers nor the children will be proficient. The principal talks alot and not always about the right things at the right time. The school has a lot of disrespectful and disobedient students which makes it very hard for the teachers to teach their classes. There are several magnificent teachers in the school but it's hard for them to teach and monitor the extra activities in the hallways. The school is not safe for you can walk in the building at anytime and and cameras are recording which does not prevent incidents to occur. Because there is a lack of parents involvement and not visiting and walking the school during school hours, this problem will never change for the leadership is not strong enough to make the change, it starts at home with us the parents!

Being a parent that has a child who attends Andrew Jackson is a difficult task. Kids will be kids, they are going to rebel. I was called to the school to find out that they wanted to implement a reward program to the kids that did nothing all year and during the fourth quarter if they received a grade of C they would be passed to the next grade. I also asked if the teachers had e-mail addresses where they could post homework assignments so that parents could check when their child says they donot have any homework. I check my child everyday. I was told no and that it was a good idea. But its a new year and still no e-mail addreses.
