Eagleview Middle School

We have enjoyed our time at Eagleview.

It is shocking how quickly the atmosphere has changed in this school. It used to be a positive, welcoming place with strong academics, best teachers, great elective choices, athletics, clubs, events, etc. Now, starting with the new "secure" entry, parents are treated like criminals. It is hard to even get into the school. After waiting outside for a full minute, you are reluctantly buzzed in and questioned by the unhappy front office staff who keep shutting the glass window on you. If you ask to be let into the school through the second locked door, you are told not to go anywhere. It does not help to bring up that the school has the open door policy, or maybe the new principal changed that too. Principal Lester talks down to parents, interrupts, gets immediately defensive if you bring up any questions or concerns. He does not listen. My child did not have any reasons to deal with him. But I would not feel comfortable with him speaking to my child. Tried addressing some concerns with the district. They listen, then ignore you completely. We are just waiting to move on to high school.

This school is not what it should be, could be, or what it used to be. When adults are arrogant and rude to parents, imagine how your child is being treated. I simply wish that valid discussion points were not treated like a debate and not seen as invalid before the point is made. The environment is intimidating from leadership, I sincerely hope that changes. Leadership should work with parents, this is not done successfully. Students should be heard, even if not agreed with. Iron fist rule doesn't gain respect. Instead it initiates fear in some, and rebellion in others.

Horrible and I wish I never allowed my kids to go there
