Shaw Middle School

The curriculum at this school is great and the teachers are very understanding of my child's needs!

This school is somewhere I would not send my child. My neice attends and they never bring home books they bring home homework that you can pull out of a crackerjack box. Where is the challenge instead of settling for standard? Not at Shaw everything is below standard here.

The teachers at Shaw Middle School really care about their students, both academically and emotionally. Many of the students at Shaw come from high poverty broken homes and they need some extra TLC. Most of Shaw's teachers provide that for their students inside and outside of the classroom. My daughter was on the basketball and dance team at Shaw this year, and her teacher was the coach. I have never seen my daughter's self confidence and respect for herself shine like it has from the encouragement and influence of this teacher. I was just informed that Shaw teacher's have the highest number of Masters degrees in the district! Wow! The education that your child will recieve from the teachers at Shaw is wonderful, but the education they MAY recieve from their peers is undesireable. Just pray that you've raised your child to make good choices.

The teachers really care about the students and want them to succeed. Too bad parent involvement is almost nil. Kids know that and if they flunk the parents won't care. It's hard for good students who really want to learn to put up with all the chuckleheads.

I'd like to know why my son and three of his friends (who didn't have the same teacher) all failed math this year. Maybe they need to look at improving their math program.
