South Harnett Elementary

The above report is incorrect and is unfair to the teacher. The student in question did not participate in class, the teacher could not read his work nor could she follow his “methods”. This student would not talk when asked very specific questions about his work and calls to the parents for the most part went unanswered. The student made false accusations as well. If parents are going to make these type of comments about teachers then the teachers should be able to defend themselves. BTW once this student was moved to the new classroom, he exhibited the same behaviors with his new teacher as he did with his two previous teachers that he has had this past year. (Yes, this student was moved into my room from another teachers room as well for the same issues!)

Up until this year it was great. All of my kids have been through this school in the past 8 years and they had some amazing teachers. Now it seems they all got wise and left to better schools.

So much to say about this school. It simply needs to be addressed about the violence and disruptions, bullying, and destructive behaviors. Some teachers and the principal were not effective at guaranteeing my childs safety. Nothing got done when i reported my child being bullied. I spoke to other parents who agree that something needs to be done immediately. Its truly chasing away good people.

The low ratings of this school are very accurate!!! The teachers FAIL to communicate with parents if your child is not doing well or has numerous missing assignments. You find out how your child is doing when you see they’re failing on their progress report or report card. You practically have to nag them to find anything out about your child. My child’s future is in their hands, and the teacher just passes them along regardless if they need help or not. The teachers I’ve dealt with this far, have been awful. Lazy, and don’t seem to care or actually want the children to learn.Additionally, the school is in poor condition. It looks like a jail inside, but worse. The ceiling tiles have water stains and holes in them. The school is dirty. I hate sending my children to this school. Horrible, horrible, horrible school!!
