My children attended K-12 at Fort Osage and things were great. However, my oldest granddaughter is now at the high school and while the teaching is still great, the grading system that binds these teachers is not. One low score on a quiz or a test can ruin good scores on everything else--yes, one score. A good test score can cancel out several zeroes on daily work. What kind of work ethic is this? Also, even though the final grade is the same, by continuing the next term with the ending grade of the previous term, the psychological aspect is not motivating. This means that students may be starting with a B or C (or lower) and then need to work themselves up to the higher grade--instead of giving them the psychological boost of 'This is a fresh start.' It doesn't allow them to see what was earned each term either.
My child goes her and she loves Fire Prairie so I just wanted t osay thank you for that and teaching my child.
My child attended the Cler-Mont elementary school and I was more than pleased, but since he has started Middle School I haven't been very happy. Like the others here I think the Math program is poor. There is also a 'C' honor role which I find completely laughable. Since when do we reward 'average'?
The math program is this school district is not practical. It is not going to help kids in real life, which makes it pretty worthless. They don't even have math books. They have math binders, which they take notes in, so if a kid misses a day, they better hope someone will loan them their notes. The history classes leave a lot to be desired. They seem to pick and choose and never make any impression on a kid, which makes them pretty worthless too. I will be moving my kids from this district at the end of the school year.
