Irwin & Susan Molasky Junior High School Reviews

Sorry to disagree with you, but i went to molasky in 2006 an it was one of the best school in vegas.. Unfortunately i had to move to tampa but if i wouldn't had moved i would had stayed in molasky for the rest of my middle school career. Know am one step before walking to my diploma and am proud to say that molasky junior high has helped me tremendously.

I am the parent of a sixth grader, and about a week ago I found mt sons progress report in his backpack. His grades had taken a nose dive. I went to the school that morning before classes started, and everyone of his teachers met with me. I did not have an appointment, but they took the time to meet with me anyway. I was every impressed. Thank You Molasky sixth grade AP teachers. My sons grades have improved already, and if it was not for their time I do not think I could be saying this.

I used to fear coming to this school all the time. This year has changed tremendously, and for the best. I think there has only been one fight this year and compared to last year, that's impressive! Mr. Heilman, the principal, is amazing! He is great to the teachers and is friendly but an authority figure with the students.

This school used to be top notch. Now, due to children expelled from surrounding schools being sent there, and the local area now going down hill, its getting worse in every way. They just had a big change in administration and not for the better.

Communication to parents is lacking. My daughter tells me of fights daily. When she was being bullied last year, the principal was so slow to react that we had to go to the school board.

We were deemed inadequate, because of minority special ed. students. But, then again, it does not take much to be on that list, thanks to the current regime in Washington. I see, this year, a renewed focus on standards from the major subjects (Math, English, and now. Science.) We have many new teachers, who are extremely dedicated. The music programs are top-notch. The art program is exceptional. We only have basketball as a sport. There are several clubs; the most popular one from last year is the Toastmasters. Parents need to be more involved. With two new deans, the level of discipline has vastly improved over years past. Two deans on the same page=a tight ship. It is not a pleasant experience being bad this year.

This school used to be one of the better schools, since it is a junior high school and supposed to be more of a challenge academically. But it has become the school to which kids from other failing schools in very bad neighborhoods are bused, and now has a real problem with violence that the principal doesn't seem to be able to get a grip on. Parents are very angry that we have to have a school with these issues in an area that should not have these problems.
