Scammon School is one of the best schools I have ever gone to. The teachers in this school treat the students in the most kind way there is. I love all of my teachers and I think they all deserve my love because they never give up and they focus on their work which is teach us which they have done a great job at. Thanks teachers at Scammon school for your great effort

The school building needs to be more taken care of but its not that bad. Some of the teachers there aren't very nice at all but its not their fault the kids make them that way. Many substitute teachers get mistreated and disrespected. But some of them do deserve it. There are a lot of good teachers and many kids are very close to their teachers. The students there pretty good and most are very friendly. Theres only about 15 kids out of the whole school that are gang members. Its not a bad school but it could be way better.

Some teachers are races, all they care is about them self. the school has a portal program that you could see your childs grade, but there's several teacher that input the grades late and by the time you see te grades and want to help your child to improves his grades, its already too late so the program is useless. If your child has a problem, instead of helping him, all they would do is try to kick him out. Like I said most of the teachers cares about themself and give the good one a bad name.

This school is horrible!So many staff changes and so much unhappiness everywhere!!! Mean jealous parents that don't volunteer and complain of the few that used to be able to volunteer. Parents are not welcome here. People are too worried about free food and drinks. What about the failing children!!!!!

Most unpleasant environment I have ever been in! Unfriendly busy bodies. Where is the free food today and how much can we carry! Let's complain about the hard working volunteers cause they make us look worse than we are! Our kids can't read or write but I will gossip and have another cookie!!!!
