Don Mensendick School

Horrible principle. Worst principle I have ever dealt with. Principle Brady is not willing to listen to the parents. Our kid was suspended for 3 days because other students said he was near other kids that were throwing poppers. Not the case, and Principle Brady was not even willing to listen to us. Our kid is top of his class and is very disciplined due to practicing karate and football and still has time to be top of his class in grades. Principle Brady did not even know what was going on the day we called to find out what was going on, and the Counsler who is the one that suspended him left early that day. They searched my sons personal possessions and even made him take off his shoes. Still found nothing. Tell me how does hearsay make you guilty? I guess only at a school were the principle is hard headed and is only on the defense instead of being impartial and listening to what the accused and parents have to say. Principle Brady needs to be fired and they need to get a principle in here that actually cares about the well being of its students and the concerns of parents. How do you expect bad schools to become great schools if they treat top of class students like criminals instead of actually punishing the students at fault. You expect the principle to attempt to bring bad students to the level of the top of the class students, not drag top of class students down to the level of the students that need help. Horrible experience and I, as a parent, am very concerned with how Principle Brady runs the school. Especially when they even started making my son take off articles of clothing to try to find evidence that was just never going to be found. It's sad to see that because of 1 horrible and rude principle, you aspect of a school can change. I fell bad for the parents that do not stand up for their kids and the good of their kids. Be AWARE of how your kids are being treated by principle Brady, it's not just about one incident, it's your kids future as well.

Absolutely terrible school. Administration barely exists and only gives kids a slight slap on the wrist when they misbehave. The classrooms regularly get trashed due to out of control students and underfunding. The school is extremely ghetto, in the one year I was there someone broke all the windows on campus and shot fireworks off in the classroom. New teachers stay away! They will promise you that you will love it there and you will do well but all they will do is chew you up and spit you out

I remember being at this school k-4 grade. I miss being their. If you see Jennifer and Juan D tell them at Luis A said hi :) and one other thing in 2013nI remember going to A.S.U for a field trip and at was when was in fourth grade.

It's a okay middle school gifted program really good. Teachers very friendly

Even though the school is great it's just the principle who is a horrible person
