Lowell Scott Middle School

"This school is horrible. The office staff is very poorly trained in basic respect for others. On several different occasions that my husband and I had to encounter the office they have been rude, short, and disrespectful. They are all just gossiping and drinking their foo foo lattes. My kid has been bullied all year.. notes passed around about her( i actually have the note), rumors spread, name calling. This school does not care about the actual well being of their students. I have even contacted the superintendent of West Ada and she acted as if this was the best school around. I know several people that have pulled their kid/s out of this school because of the harassment and poor teaching. I do not recommend this school at all. Bullying has gotten out of control here."

"If I ignore the many rape charges against the teachers, this is still a crappy school. The lazy attitude towards teaching sickens me. After just 2 short months at this school I felt the need to transfer my students out to receive even the most basic education. Parents, if you are reading this, go through the process to move you kids; it isn't worth it. Drugs abound here, and are often distributed by the staff themselves. It is not uncommon for teachers to hold students after class and make them do unspeakable things."

"I'm less than impressed with the education level my kids receive. We came from Washington where they are very concerned about the level of learning. Here my kids seem you be going backward I'm so frustrated. Math is by far the worst. The bullying out of control. these kids are beyond mean,and very unaccepting of new kids and we've lived here 5years. The swearing is like a bunch of animals. I will be looking at different options, I feel like the kids education is less than important."

"I hate this school with a burning passion. The students are all terrible and love to terrorize others, and there are only a few actually good teachers. The worst would probably be the principal. Not only does she have apparent favoritism, she will blatantly choose students to pick on and publicly humiliate, even if they've done nothing wrong. I do NOT recommend this school, so don't enlist your child in it."

"Wish there was 0 stars! The worst school my child has attended. The nurse is a idiot. Talks in circles and repeats herself. My daughter received a head injury at the school. The school nurse made the process as difficult as possible. I wouldn't trust my dog with her. She put my my daughter in situations that were doctor ordered to be avoided. When it came to finals, she denied her taking them. Suddenly concerned about her health. She assured us that if we got something from the doctor stating that she could resume testing than she would allow it while the other children were on a field trip The office provided her with a note that stated that she could do her finals. Even though we had expressed our concern, she contacted a nurse at my daughters doctors office to delay the finals.The Doctor wont be back in until the last day of school. There goes the finals....."
