4 kids went through morningside. 2 special needs. Covid is hard, but the teachers and administration do well with safety and inclusion. Fifth grade is a great transition space to know if your special needs child is going to make it in middle school with minimal parent involvement. Executive functioning is tested in a safe and repairable academic environment. Parent advocacy for children is encouraged and welcomed. Community involvement is incredible, and that is really what makes this school work. The parents amplified the academic environment, so these parents are well educated and involved. Diversity could be improved, but Intown living provides opportunities in such that the suburban public schools lack more. Howard and Grady and more diversified if you stay in district through 12. Walking/biking to school is a big thing. We took advantage of this several mornings, then would do the bus in the afternoon as it was a bit far for the young ones unaccompanied for our house.
Morningside has slipped from 4 stars to 2. scores, mostly b/c you have a base of mostly privileged students who enter w/ strong base, and very well-educated parents. Few issues w/ language barriers due to the fact that the student base lacks some diversity. Our experience with Special Ed has been disappointing- they are constantly on the defense & not pro-child. It used to be you could schedule a conf. School needs more inclusion, more focus on social-emotional. Of course, all of that has been magnified by COVID. But at this point it feels like they are using COVID as an excuse for providing a sub-optimal experience. Don't get me wrong, some of the teachers & admin are stand-out, but you never know who you are going to get. It seems like the grade level teachers are either above-and-beyond, or just going through the motions. Lessons are often inconsistent and disorganized. Could be a wonderful school, but politics seem to get in the way. teacher shortages & heavy turnover.
Interesting experiences all around at Morningside Elementary. The faculty and staff and parent community all worked together to try and create a better commuity for the students.
