School Reviews
| 4 I want to personally thank Mrs. Scott for a positive, caring, patient, and wonderful job she has been with my son. She has gone way and beyond her job title in my eyes to help my son move forward in his education and that means a lot, especially knowing where he was in the beginning and where he is now. I give a huge thanks to Mrs.Scott for being wonderful teacher. - Posted by Parent - Crystal |
| 5 The teachers at East Fannin have worked very hard to help me educate my children. The libray and staff are the best part of the school. Mrs. Gwatney is unbelievable and encourages all children equally.
The school has very limited art and athletic program. This is something that needs improvement.
The school is always neat and clean and well maintained.
Some teachers encourage parent involvement and some refus to work with parents. The parapros as a majority are very poorly trained and do not always behave professionally. Some think it gives them the right to bully and order kids around. I hear more complaints from kids about the parapros. - Posted by Parent - wgarn |
