Covington Middle School

I've had 2 children attend Covington and I'm counting down the days until this year is over. I will be putting my youngest in a different school unless I see some drastic changes. The school does not know how to follow an IEP, there are some great teachers there but for a child on an IEP it only takes one teacher not to follow it and your child is lost. There is no excuse for a child on an IEP to fail a class that is the whole purpose of having one! They are well known for diciplining children based on :who they are". If your child attends Covington and you want to have a good experience then you need to keep your mouth shut and agree with them, tell them how great they are and hope for the best. The minute you go against what they feel is proper education or you disagree on a behavior issue your child will be targeted. You can expect attitude and multiple suspensions to include outlandish accusations.

i use to go to this school and it was the best school i ever went to!!

Covington is not a great school; I have two daughters, my eldest did okay despite the seemingly lack of concern or effort by her teachers. My youngest, however, has special needs and the teachers and adminstrators seem uninterested in doing what should be done for my childs educational excellance. The last straw is the fact that they close the office at 3:30 in the afternoon and expect parents to encourage after school activities.

My daughter has been an Covington for all of 6th grade and three months of 7th grade. I have been very happy with the school. The teachers she has had have been wonderful. Sports and after-school activities are great. The school counselor is very involved and knows kids well. I can not think of one thing I have been unhappy with. She is happy, learning, involved, and loves going to school. And the building itself is gorgeous. It has been a safe and enjoyable place for my daughter to go to school.

I have just finished my last year at covington middle school. I had some awesome times during 6-8 grade. Teachers are not that bad and I beleive it is harshly judged buy its past. Its a good school and don't beleive everything you hear espeacally if that person hasn't even gone to that school.

I do not think this school is one of the 'best' schools. There are many teachers that are great but the upper staff as in Principal and Vice are horrid to work with.

I dont think this school is the 'best' school. They have poor planning ability and they do not take time to work with the students. I am normally a straight a studnet and I have been all through middle school, but I'm having a difficult time understanding math and I do not think that my teacher is thourougly taking time to instruct me.

Despite positive things I heard before enrolling my child in Covington, I have found that the staff, both teachers and administrators we have had to deal with are ill equipped to deal with children who have special needs and they don't appear interested in changing that. Sincerely, Angry Mom
