The staff, especially some of the principals and vice principals, are incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. Instead of supporting students, they talk down to us, ignore concerns, and create an environment where it feels like students are the enemy, not the priority. The school is disorganized and poorly managed. Communication is lacking, discipline is inconsistent, and it's clear the administration has no real control or vision for helping students succeed. Academically, this place is failing us -- resources are outdated, support is minimal, and many students are falling behind with no intervention. It's hard to care about your future in a place that doesn't care about you. The overall atmosphere is chaotic and unwelcoming. Fights happen often, the hallways are loud and unsafe, and instead of addressing deeper issues, the staff just dish out random punishments. It's giving ghetto in the worst way -- not because of the students, but because of how everything is handled. If you're looking for a place that uplifts, guides, or inspires students... this ain't it.

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.

My son has been attending Greenspun Middle School for about one year and is currently in 6th grade…read more 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.

The focus they put on leadership and self-governing is something I wish I had learned growing up. My brother struggled in regular school to the point we weren't sure if he could keep up here. However within the school year he was actually excelling, not because the school is easy, but because he had a true support system. His teacher would work one on one with him and gave him extra assignments that would help him get the concepts in a way he could understand and practice. It was a lot of work for my brother, but to finally be on A honor roll was priceless! I knew I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else after seeing my brothers transformation. They focus on true principles and helping the students learn for themselves and enjoy the process. We love this school and feel so lucky to have found them! We also love the new campus!

The Good Pinecrest still provides an exceptional academic program. I've had very open and transparent interaction with teachers and staff (family oriented). Looking at the schools data/ scores and the progress of my own children, I can attest to the success they have in providing an educational experience that can not be matched by the Public School System. It is rigorous and requires students do the work. Success at Pinecrest is dependent on what students and parents put in. Infinite Campus is updated and I appreciate being able to see what they are working on and when they will be assessed. It helps me keep track of my kids assignments and provide guidance as needed. If your student needs help,just ask. They have a system of support that is very student centered. The school is modern and progressive. They expose students to the technological advances needed to prepare them to be competitive as they enter college and workforce. Additionally they frequently have Guest Speakers, various Community Organizations, Events (very active PTA), Field Trips, all coveted opportunities that gives students exposure to every thing from Entrepreneurship, Career Exploration,The Arts, Community Building the list goes on. The programs for Middle School and extracurricular activities offered are top tier in my opinion. I am supper excited by the addition of the High School Career and College Tracks offered to the students. Pinecrest covering the majority of associated cost. Leaving High School with a Diploma, Certification or degree/ credits is a valuable opportunity. The Bad As Pinecrest has expanded there has been a very noticeable change in negative student behaviors. Bullying, Racism, and Mental Healthl issues have marred the appeal of the school. These issues in my experiences unfortunately have not been limited to students. However, when I've reached out I have almost immediately response and have recieved swift action. Once again, parental involvement is needed in addressing these issues and proactively seeking meaningful resolutions. I also feel Pinecrest needs to revamp how they set and enforce expectations when it comes to behavior. Most students there appreciate all that the achool offers. They come in ready to learn and engage in all the benefits the school provides. However, there are some that disrespect the learning environment continuously contributing little to the overall environment of the school. This is simply not acceptable. It does not go with the core values and goals of the school. More needs to be done to support the teachers in the classroom so that they can teach without distractions. Overall, our time at Pinecrest Cadence has been good. While like any other school there are issues, the overall value provided is still exceptional. I hope that as the school continues to grow they continue putting student success at the healm. Creating an environment where all students feel seen and valued.

This is a bottom of the barrel school. This school accepts anyone and everyone. The word is out -…read moreso the very worst of the worst are here now. If your child is a good student, DO NOT PUT THEM HERE! The teachers are busy dealing with the worst of the worst kids so your child will NOT get the attention needed to thrive. If your child is a thug or stupid, this is the perfect place. Your child will be rushed through and receive a diploma and sent to the next grade, completely unprepared for it. They will graduate high school without being able to read or write - but they will have a diploma! Imagine their future success in college, where grades do matter and being able to read is a requirement! Admin is aware of this - but they simply do not care. They just want full classes so they can get that sweet sweet government education money! AVOID THIS SCHOOL like the plague it is. It used to be great - but admin has driven it into the ground. The teachers do not have the tools to deal with entitled students and their entitled parents. If you are one of them and simply expect your child to get a diploma and be babysat all day, then this is the place for you. If you want a better life for your child and a bright future - STAY FAR AWAY from here!
