Avalon Park Elementary School

Posted October 28, 2009

I believe Ms. Higgenbottom is doing the best she can with the school, which is in my opinion about a 60 percent turn from where they were. I also believe she has an exellent staff. Especially Mr. Curtis who goes above and beyond his duty to educate Brenden Butler. Jerry C King

I graduated from Avalon Park with the class of 89' and back then we had decent structure and discipline. I don't know what has happened to our school and this generation of students but they aren't scared of anyone and they don't follow directions if they don't want to. I don't know where or when the situation went from good to bad to worse but it has been only one week since the new school year, new principal, and new school and Avalon has shown great improvement. It shows every time my kids come home and say 'the staff is acting mean, we can't do nothing' (translation-The ball is rolling in the right direction and now the school has some type of order).

A new Principal has been hired. It's just the third day of school but I can already see a difference. For the first time in years the hallways were clear of children during school hours. It's starting to look like the school I attended years ago. Looking forward to the change and the new leadership!

As a parent I would not recommend this school to anyone. If you can put your child in another school close by do so. They don't have control over the students and the staff complains a lot instead of trying to figure out a solution to the problems. I have one child graduating this year and two others attending. They are slow sending out reports about your child grades/follow up. I constantly have to make visit to find out what's going on, they never on time and don't have accurate information. I had to call to find out about the graduation fees and dates. They are not organize and the Principal I believe don't care. They don't enforce the dress code until the end of the year. Students are constantly fighting, cursing, and doing what they want especially in the halls and playground! The school needs to be restructured with staff.
