Dr. William (Bob) H Bailey Middle School

I honestly like this school. It may not be the best but I've met so many amazing people here and so many amazing teachers. I also met my current girlfriend. Yes, it has it's cons, but it's not all bad. Most of the kids here are super sweet and nice. There are just the bad kids that make this school look so horrible.

As a former teacher at this school, I really can't say anything good about it. My kids went to this school several years ago before I taught here. It was an okay school when my kids attended here. As time went on, standardized test scores were low and it became a Title I turn-around school. They got new administration and many new teachers. That is when I started at this school. You'd think that the new administration would turn this school around. But they made it much, much worse. The way I saw it, the administrators are always working against teachers instead of working with them. Students are out of control because they are learning that bad behavior gets them rewards. The "bad" students know that if they behave badly, they'll end up in in-house and do nothing but play games all day. They make pacts with their friends so the entire group of friends get sent to in-house and they all have a field day. Basically they are learning that bad behavior gets them out of doing work. It is the wrong message that the administrators are sending. I really hope that Bailey becomes a charter school and they can fire everyone and start over from scratch.

I substitute taught throughout the district. I was able to make headway in almost all other district schools. The day I substituted at Bob Bailey, however, I was unable to get anything done. The students were openly hostile and made a concerted effort to hold up the lesson plan and to insult me. Because it was so bad I brought it to the attention of administration. They were unable to help out, so I left and never returned. Bob Bailey is the only school I would completely avoid in Clark County. It is an experience I will always remember.

This Middle School is beyond reproach! The majority of the Bailey population student body choose to do nothing more daily than to harass and to bully their teachers in attempts to steer and manage them and lie to the Administrative staff all day long about everything. Students norm is to exhibit wildly outlandish behavior issues hoping to wear Instructors down so as to intimidate them in order to gain control by threating and abusive plots. All day every day- there is little to no quality academics taking place here, rather it is simply more only a juvenile corrections institute for wayward urban sprawl and teachers left largely to fill out incident reports in hopes of seeking protection from repeat offenders if they end up becoming physically attacked. The status quo here should be changed to that largely of a behavior school rather than a general education middle school. Parents: should you remotely even value your child's education, safety and future please do not enroll him/her as a student within this middle school amongst these social deviants and degenerates. If you are a Teacher or support staffer - beware and reconsider taking any assignment offered at Bailey as it is not worth the risk of destroying both your mental and physical health over working here with these at risk students who are intent on harming you!
