Showalter Middle School is the weakest of the the three schools in the district. WASL scores for students over the last 5 to 10 years show that children are failing from over 50% to 82% in reading, writing,, math and science. The school is in step 3, heading to step 4 for AYP. Parents should exercise caution when sending thier children to this school. Some of the teachers (very few) are supportive and try to help students; however, most appear to take an approach that children must teach themselves and some do with help outside of the school. The attitude of admistrators at the school is also negative towards parent involvement and is lacking in communicating to the community.

I agree that I am disappointed with how the staff communicates with parents. The teachers do not communicate with parents until the last minute, and they are concerned more with giving out 'infractions and detentions', instead of helping students with their work. I think that the teachers want kids that they dont need to teach rather than spend the time to teach the ones that need it.

I'm pleased with the teachers at Showalter. They show great concern for my son and they're willing to help him outside of class. Their core support group has been very good for my son as well.

Show Walter is an exteme disappointment. It seems that the teachers are more concerned if a child steps out the cafeteria door at lunch, rather than being concerned in how well they are actuallly doing in class. They also seem to be more subs than actual teachers. I also agree that there advanced classes are limited. This may work with parents and staff who do not want to produce upstanding children in society, but for myself and my child I expect more from my tax dollars!

This is a wonderful school. The diversity of the student population coupled with the dedication of the staff make for a superb educational experience.
