This is a terrible school. If thinking of buying a house in this area, PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR CHILDREN. The Curry community is a wonderful one and the high school is passable. However, the elementary school lost my child for over 20 minutes on her first day of kindergarten! She was finally found on a bus after those 20 grueling minutes of not knowing where my 5 year old was, only that she wasn't at school. When asked if my daughter had made anyone aware she doesn't ride a bus, the principal stated "We don't take their word for it!" A teacher later told me "that" only happens "once a year". Once a year of losing a 5 year old is far too much! Only 2 short days later I walk my daughter in and find a kindergarten (5 year old) boy sitting outside of an empty classroom, inside a dimly lit hallway, very close to an exit door with absolutely no teacher in sight! The child could have been gone in an instant and no one at Curry Elementary would have known. They would have just marked him absent and went on with their day.

Do whatever you must to avoid this school, but don't expect the Walker County Board of Education to be much help. I've tried that. Close Quote
