Platte County R-III School District

I don't kno what y'all's problems is😭 I came in today just wanting to look around wit my sister an I had a wonderful encounter with the pretty blonde lady working. I asked her abt if they were hiring, an even tho she said no she still double checked. The area was clean an neat. the lil seating area fo pics was cute and spooky. overall I have nothing bad to say an I will definitely b comin back 🫶🤞🩷🤍

Great School District. My oldest is going into 4th grade and he has had a wonderful experience. Teachers are smart and compassionate. Sports are top notch, but not at the expense of academics. Perfect balance.

I was very lucky to be hired by the district and have absolutely loved working for this community. Incredible students, hard-working staff, and a lot of pride.

Teachers are great, administrators not so much. Our district is deficient compared to surrounding districts in the resources for many of our special needs students despite the high taxes we pay. I send my son for the therapy he needs out of my own funds despite paying high taxes. Not all of us are winning trust me. If you are moving here just FYI.

Feeling like more and more the emphasis is to try to get kids to perform on standardized tests at the expense of actually being concerned about whether they are mastering the concepts. 1-4 grading system is a failure since it is often converted to A-F for comparison and attempts to expain and the kids are not prepared for the grading system in middle school and high school. Paperless system means kids don't bring home papers so it's hard for parents to follow along. Kids work online but they can't "assign online homework because not everyone has access at home" so kids are expected to do this work whenever they can fit it in during the day. This makes it so much more challenging for parent involvement. There is a bombardment of communication by email and various apps, however no place to search for the information for centralized reference. Info sometimes conflicts between newsletters, emails and app posts.

This place is cringe

A couple of weeks ago, my friend's daughter was lured into the bathroom by two eighth-grade girls at the middle school. They told her they "just wanted to talk" to her. They proceeded to beat her, knock her unconscious, and kick, hit, and pull her hair. The victim's mother was told by the school staff that her daughter "passed out again in the office"; they later denied it. Because her daughter fought back in self-defense, she was told that her daughter was an "active participant" in the altercation, and the school would not be issuing any disciplinary action toward the two attackers. This incident was not reported to law enforcement by the school. My friend took her daughter to the Emergency Room, where it was confirmed that she sustained a concussion, among other injuries. The victim's mother met with the principal and the superintendent of the school district. The attackers were not expelled from school. No known disciplinary action was taken. No child is safe at the middle school when this type of dangerous, physical bullying is permitted without consequence. The victim's mother was told by the principal that the school has video of the incident but would not allow her to view it. I have personally seen video of the incident from another student's phone recording of the attack. These bullies still roam the school where my kids attend. I am extremely disappointed with the way this school district has handled (done nothing about) this situation. Knowing that my the child had been attacked, hit her head, and knocked unconscious, the first thing they should have done would be CALL 911! Brain injuries can have permanent effects and can cause death! It can happen quickly! But nothing was done by the PCMS staff! Shame on PCMS!

Called to see about getting my grandson enrolled for preschool. Guess Platte County only cares about the rich. Very disappointing to know and really causes me to want to leave this county before he qualifies for kindergarten. I'm quite sure this will carry over in how he will be looked upon later... What happened to no child left behind for this definitely sets them up to fail later!!!

Platte County HS is the only school that charges an entrance fee for 65 and over. Nice stadium, but I won't attend again, unless there's a change in policy. I live in Platte County, so I already pay taxes.

Great school, if you want to live in the 1920's.

Some staff, are simply put, are oblivious to the fact that the lack of compassion and the enormous wave of ignorance of some students frustrates others, and is totally noticeable. They suck.

Didn't mean to leave a review whoops
