I believe the staff are this school are doing the best they can with a generation of kids raised by YouTube and tv more than their own parents. The teachers aren't responsible for kids getting in fights or bullying or getting bad grades. The teachers job is to teach a room of 20-30 (or maybe more) kids per class. There are great free and affordable tutoring programs. Parents can help their kids at home. Downsize and live on one income or have alternating part time schedules so one parent can always be home to keep up with chores, spend time with your child and show them how to treat others with kindness and forgiveness. If a school like this isn't working out for you try a hybrid program or considering home schooling. You have so many options. You have a choice. You are responsible for your child's environment. If you went to school in CCSD yourself you should know what to expect. It's that same at every school, rich or poor, public or private. And to be honest it's the same in other states as well. Parents, volunteer to be teacher assistants or form tutoring clubs. read more

My son has been attending Greenspun Middle School for about one year and is currently in 6th grade. We moved here from California, and the difference in how schools are run is shocking, in the worst way. Clark County School District, and Greenspun specifically, handles student behavior very poorly. My son has witnessed more fights at this school in one year than he ever did in California. Bullying is a serious issue here, and the way staff, teachers, and administration respond to it is unacceptable. For example, an 8th grade student poured orange juice over my son's head. My son did exactly what he was taught, he reported it to staff instead of reacting. After speaking directly with the principal, Ms. Hermes, it sounded like this 8th grade student would face little to no consequences. However, it was made very clear that if my son had defended himself, he would be the one in trouble. This teaches kids to accept being mistreated while punishing them for standing up for themselves, which does not prepare them for the real world. This same pattern shows up in the classroom. My son recently got in trouble with Ms. Walsh, his math teacher, for raising his voice. My son admitted to me that he did raise his voice, and I appreciate his honesty. He explained that during free time another student was repeatedly giving him a hard time and even threw a backpack, yet that student was not disciplined. Ms. Walsh did not put a stop to the behavior immediately, allowing the situation to escalate. While my son should not have raised his voice, it is easy to understand his frustration when disruptive behavior is ignored and the child reacting is the only one punished. Students are either ignored when they report issues or immediately punished without any real accountability. Teachers frequently raise their voices when it isn't necessary, instead of stopping bad behavior the first time it happens. It feels more like a power struggle than effective classroom management. Academically, things are not much better. My son has struggled with his grades, and after meeting with all of his teachers, one teacher, Mr. Hoffman made the comment, "The dad's job is to work and the son's job is to do his own work." That statement alone showed a complete lack of support, accountability, or willingness to help a struggling student. I also personally sat in on one of Mr. Hoffman's classes. Before the classroom doors even opened, while waiting outside in the hallway, I overheard multiple students using the N word. This is especially concerning given that over 80% of the student population is Caucasian. There was no staff present to intervene out there , and it was clear this type of language is tolerated. From my own observation, Mr. Hoffman does the bare minimum, assigns work, sits at his desk, and provides little guidance or engagement. I witnessed this firsthand. Some classes don't even have assigned seating, which only adds to distractions and behavior problems. Most work is done on computers, yet there is no typing or basic computer skills class, setting students up to struggle even more. Overall, this school lacks structure, accountability, student support, and effective leadership. Bullying, racial language, and disruptive behavior are not addressed consistently, and administration, under the leadership of Ms. Hermes fails to protect students who follow the rules and report issues appropriately. I would not recommend Greenspun Middle School to any parent who cares about their child's safety, education, or emotional well being. read more

This school is so unprofessional and they don't know how to handle any situation. My kids electric scooter got stolen twice and the school doesn't even have good cameras and they don't do anything to prevent this. The only thing they know how to do is suspend kids for literally nothing and the kids that are the issue are the teachers pets read more

This school is by far the worst school i have ever been to. The teachers are all snotty and rude to their student except Ms.Cowen. I hate this school and this school has terrible hygiene. The bathroom are filthy. There is fights every day. We aren't learning anything new and the education system sucks. Also like I said kids are getting bullied and beat up just because the staff just let it happen. read more

Lady in front office, American Caucasian lady with glasses so rude! No other way to say but she clearly is miserable and doesn't like to work. She was so unfriendly for being the person to speak with at the office. I can see why the school has these reviews as they do and their peers set the tone. Referencing students name incorrect 3xs while correcting her the first time she must of found it funny to continue to say it incorrectly! Good luck Greenspun! read more

This school is really horrible the teachers don't even know how to work, they use computers way to much and still don't know how to grade correctly, kids failing over small formative assignment but when they get summative grade and gets good score it barely brings up the grades. They need to fix how teachers behave, kids don't feel comfortable to ask for help when teachers give attitude for asking a question making students not wanting to get help. Students don't even know how to behave they actually so immature they think they are mature but act like they are tough or living somewhere "ghetto" while they get spoiled with lots and judge others when they don't have stuff like them. They think they are very cool for being rude or even think they are funny. Sometimes they take things too far thinking it's funny but it's not it affects that person and now it will make them feel insecure, embarrassed, and just overall ruining their self esteem. They need to hire people who will take their work more serious, and be able to teach students better MANNERS!!! read more
