Mellichamp Elementary School 350 Murray Street, Orangeburg, SC 29115

"My son was lost by the school and no one knew where he was. I was told not to call the police because they would handle it! I ended up having to search for my child year old son myself who has a background of bad seizures. I found my child at some neighbor and he was in tears. My child walked home by himself because he was sent home as a walker. My son has never been a walker and attended this school since preschool. The principal neither the superintendent apologize. The principal Mr.Jean stated because I contact his boss, he would be petty. He was very petty from this day forward! I regret ever sending my children here. My oldest hair was cut by another student and My middle child was told you are not a man! It deserves no stars! The lines for pickup is to the road so be prepare to be in line for ten minutes or more. Don't come after 3 because you will be written up.The only time you will not written up if you are waiting on them to release your child."

"Smh please don't get me started on this school I drove school buses for this school on an after-school route the kids were disrespectful and would not listen wrote them up principal done nothing the kids lied told the principal I was cursing on the bus and said I called them names he called my boss and I almost lost my job behind this anyway I'm no longer driving that route anymore because of a parent I kept having issues with thank God I no longer have to be stressed about them kids"

"My daughter has went there for two years. It has been nothing but demand after demand for lunch money. Pounding the front office desk demanding money the sum 7.75 was due. My husband gets paid on Thursdays, I said to the lunch lady. Then the next day was approached at the bus line asking again. Then the next day I had to tell her the money would be there Friday morning. Then she told me the lunch room manager was on every one case about keeping their bills paid. So I paid the bill with 20.00 and made sure she was up to date on all of it. So the next she approaches me about an un paid bill I will start by telling someone to watch her actions. She really might offend someone one day. I hate your school as bad as any one could. Low class low budget educations aren't really legal in this day an age. Look at the nasty lunch my daughter is forced to eat. I hope and Pray your school wakes up on the way you have thrown food at children. It looks and smells like road kill."
