It is the only math and science magnet elementary school in the district. We will soon add grades 6-8 over the next 3 years. We are working to become the premier math and science school in the state. Most of our students come from low income households, and monetary suport is all but nonexistant. We have become a flagship school for a number of programs, and we're hoping to increase availability of technology around the school. We're on our way to the top!
My child was enrolled last year at Morehead. My experience was very negative. The teacher was inadequate...they did not want to be there and it reflected their classroom performance. The staff was not inviting when I tried to voluntary at my child's school or visit. The PTA was non existing because the Principal was not very cooperative. I am very blessed to have a teacher this year that is new to CMS and not tainted by the system yet. Although the school as a whole is not where I would like them... my child's classroom teacher is exceptional and out weighs the negative factors.
My daughter has been at Morehead since her 1st grade year. I must say how dissappointed I was at how the teachers response to parent inquires has not been effective. My daughter talks about how the principle has no compassion for the students at all. She is very unhappy and I must say so am I. The teachers do not take an active role in notifying parents when problems are needed to be handled. They wait until it is too late to contact you when your child is doing poorly. I cannot give Morehead the seal of approval because I have not seen anything to be happy of to motivate the parents or students. My child has had to deal with bullying on the buses. She has be verbally abused by other children. The response was not in a timely manner. Morehead needs to get it together!
