What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, June 6, 2018

The teaching staff is not good. They're lazy. My child spends hours every night doing homework. I often wonder what they do in class because they have so much homework. I feel they don't encourage the kids or push them to reach they full potential. It's all about who the kids parents are. When it comes to the parents, the ora of elitism and racism forwards non-whites is very obvious at Hope Middle School. It's a country school in rural NC so I guest that is to be expected.
