Glenn Hammond Curtiss Middle School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-11-12 “This school is the pits! I'm going to echo some of the previous reviews. The staff is very rude and condescending. The office staff are lazy and act like you are bothering them when you have a question or concern. The principal shows horrible leadership (Dr.Burem). If she sees you on campus or in the morning, she will make eye contact and smile at you. The minute you have a question for her the smile turns to a frown and she immediately brushes you off and tells you to speak with whomever. I understand that she may be busy at times, but sometimes you have to listen to the concerns raised by parents. The teachers are not the crem de la crem of educators. Most of them honestly don't care, their just collecting paychecks. I've had 3 children go through middle school and I believe Carnegie or Peary are better choices.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-01-24 “This school is the best!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-12-01 “I have been attending curtiss middle school for the 6th grade and I love it. But the Dean is kind of harsh but I hope to stay here and the leadership is excellent and great year books! I reccomend you to come here!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-07-10 “Curtiss is a horrible school. No leadership, no good teachers, no educational benefits...Noting! I can't believe that this school in the middle of such an sucessful community would be so awful. I am desperately trying to get my child out of there before school starts.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-05-14 “My daughter is in the magnet program there and although she is on the honor roll the curriculum is very easy for her. The environment there is horrible. Some of the teachers talk to the kids with disdain and disrespect as well as the parents. Don't send your child here, my daughter won't be returning next year for sure!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-02-20 “Although I am not too happy with the principals' leadership of the school but few teachers and educators are right track to putting children first. Mrs. Houston, Dean Spicer, Mrs. Trolesi, Mr Luna and Mr. R. Ngaha are individuals who seem to put forth timeless effort motivating and preparing. Bottom line I think the focus of the school is the adult ego not the students best interest. There are more dances, amusement park field trips, football games but none educational.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-02-02 “I think curtiss is a great school but it will be evn better if they didnt have to wear uniform.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-08-20 “They speak to parents as if they are a child also and disrespect the child in front of the parents so this shows how they treat your child. If more parent would volunteer there time at the school you would see more and possibly make it better. I have been to some pta meetings and all I could see is that they are trying to correct the wrong doing of those before them. I will see this year may be better.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-08-16 “The staff are very rude. I have witnessed how they talk to students and ignore parents who are waiting for help. Mrs. Brooks is one teacher who I have found to be very interested in the education of the students. She understands them and is able to have the student absorb the information. Instead of concentrating on a uniform policy, this school needs to provide quality teachers and provide sufficient/updated books for class/homework, provide smaller tutoring sessions. This school needs major improvement in administration and teaching.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2006-06-12 “I think it is a ghetto skool and the kids aren't the icest but I think if you focus your child he/she can suceed. I have to say it is not the best schol ever because of so many distractions but if you put a foot foward you can suceed. The school has very low scrores but my child managed to obtain a 4.0 throughout the scholl year by helping her focus and she did well and anyones child can too.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-05-04 &ld
