About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.

HOW DID YOUR SCHOOL GET ITS NAME?

Do you know the background of your school’s name?

Towns often name schools after citizens who contribute to the good of the town, perhaps through the schools
or town government. Other school names come from people of national significance, such as Presidents Washington, Lincoln,
and Kennedy. Some schools are named by the area of the town where they’re located.

Tom Waddell: Ruling on religious school funding puts Maine in a bind

What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? Maine will find out in the coming school year.

A lot has changed since I wrote about state-funded Christian education in January. The Supreme Court’s decision in Casey v. Makin has all but forced Maine to pay for Christian education, and private Christian schools are claiming their teachers are ministers.

State-funded religion violates the Maine Constitution and the U.S. Constitution, and schoolteachers are not considered ministers under the ministerial exception act.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor got it right when she commented on another case that also applies to Casey v. Makin. The Supreme Court’s agenda of turning America into a Christian nation was revealed when they overturned Roe v. Wade. Justice Sotomayor bluntly asked whether the court will “survive the stench” that overturning Roe “creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts.” Will the nation survive the stench of state-funded Christian education?

Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey outlined the state’s policy: “Instruction that inculcates, instills, imbues a religious view through its materials, through its teachings, prescribing that there’s one religion above others and that there are certain ways of the world that are consistent with that religion … contradicts a public education. ”

There is a caveat in the SCOTUS edict though. The Supreme Court cannot force Maine to pay for Christian education. But, if Maine chooses to pay for private secular school education, the Supreme Court can require the state to fund private Christian education too. Maine can avoid paying religious school tuition by no longer subsidizing private schools.

Either decision Maine makes on this issue will put the state in a legal bind. If the state elects to stop subsidizing private secular schools, a backlash from parents with children in those schools can be expected. Continuing the policy of paying for private school tuition now obligates the state to fund private Christian education as well. By funding Christian education, Maine will be endorsing any anti-LGBT teachings by the Christian schools and will put Maine in direct conflict with its own Human Rights Commission policies.

Fortunately, Maine requires the private schools it funds ($56 million annually) to follow public school protocols. Private Christian schools were exempt until SCOTUS required Maine to fund religious schools. Now private Christian schools funded by Maine will have to abide by public school protocols. These private religious schools will no longer be able to ignore Maine’s Human Rights Commission policies.

Some private religious schools have said they will not accept Maine funds if they must follow Maine’s Human Rights Commission policies. My concern is some private Christian schools will accept state funds and not follow Maine’s human rights laws, thus intentionally creating a situation where Maine will sue them.

If that happens, and the case eventually goes to the Supreme Court, there is little doubt the court will rule in favor of the private Christian school.

One dubious defense Christian schools may use is the legal doctrine known as the ministerial exception to justify discrimination against all workers at religious schools. Religious employers and conservative Christian legal groups are urging courts to adopt an ever-broader interpretation of the ministerial exception, which was meant to ensure that houses of worship could freely choose their clergy. However, these Christian Nationalists want the ministerial exception broadened to include being able to fire employees without cause; an action that will deny that employee their employment rights.

Case in point. Gregg Tucker, a teacher at Faith Christian Academy in Arvada, Colorado, was fired for organizing an anti-racism symposium for students. Some parents complained and threatened to pull their kids (and their tuition dollars) from the school.

Instead of standing up for Tucker’s anti-racism message, the school fired him. When the teacher challenged this violation of his civil rights in court, the school said that Tucker was a minister (wrong) and therefore could not be held liable for discriminating against him (wrong again).

What will happen if Maine subsidizes a private Christian school that directs its “ministers” to ignore Maine’s human rights laws and a teacher refuse to break the law? Should that school have the right to fire that teacher? I think not.

Read what parents are saying about Waddell Elementary School

Communication is terrible. I’ll give them a 1!

Posted by a parent on 7/21/2017

The pitiful Muscogee county school district Denied my son’s hardship request to another school that would be proactive and assist him. Unfortunately, I stuck with Waddell, which doesn’t have any program nor help my son with his needs. The teacher is selfish and after a conference with her and numerous request for follow ups, she still has failed to communicate with me in regards to my son but continue to send notes home with explanation. This school is my worst nightmare.

Posted by a parent on 10/2/2014

If I could I would rate it a 0. Its the worst school my kids have ever attended . I have one in the 4th grade and my youngest in 1st and they hate it there. Horrible teachers , staff and the list goes on. just an Exp. my kids tell me that they ask the teacher to go over something and they get sent out of the class into another ( not knowing whats going on in their class ) then the day is over the teacher forgets about them . A whole waste of the day .Thats just one thing out of many .If I could I would get them out of that school but as of right now I cant. But next year my kids WILL NOT BE ATTENDING this school.

Posted by a parent on 2/27/2012

We just moved to the area and my son started going to waddell elementary and i absolutely hate it…I have never witnessed such ghetto teachers and horrible attitudes!! I can’t believe they are teachers. When i walked into the schoolto register my kid there was a teacher going off on her class in the middle of the hallway, i must add how ghetto she sounded…i mean really??? If you are going to be a teacher you could at least talk proper and sound educated!! I can’t wait to get my kid out of here…..So disgusted!! Since I can’t give this school a rating of 0 (option not available) I have to click on 1 star…

Posted by a parent on 10/11/2011

I absolutely love Waddell….my oldest was a honor student there. …so when it was time for my youngest to start school…it was the obvious choice for us….everyone there is so personable…from the principal to the teachers…..even the support staff at the school….they know all the kids by name and that means alot to me…the go far and beyond to make sure each child is getting what they need….each year I have been fortunate that my children had the best teachers….I would say if you are looking for a small school that’s still teaching subjects instead of test….Waddell is definately the school for you!!!!

  I’ve sent several children here and they’ve had different experiences. Not all teachers are the same. Some are excellent whereas others talk a real good game at the beginning of the year but the day to day teaching isn’t there. The new principal seems like she’s doing a good job and the school is significantly cleaner than it was when my oldest went there. The PTO used to be really good about 4-5 years ago but the new crew isn’t as present as the other group of ladies. Overall, it is a good neighborhood school and my three kids have enjoyed being here.

  Honestly, this school has improved a lot since my mother (40 years plus) has gone here. This school receives a lot of bad press because of what the scores were years ago but I know for a fact if you participate, volunteer, get involved and assist with your child at home that your child too will be a light in any school that takes the time to teach child with care, compassion and patience. This school has improved during the year my child attended and I wouldn’t trade that experience for nothing in the world. Like all schools there are down falls, the only issue I would like to be addressed in this school are incidents that occur with bystanders, keeping the gate closed to the playground area and notices about any changes that were made during the course of the school year.

  Academically the kids excel because the teachers teach to test. Sometimes students aren’t given recess because the teachers are too lazy to go outside. If your child is academically delayed they will be treated different. The school during election had the kids come to school in the color that represented what candidate they were voting for. They had them outside pretending to vote. The news captured 3 students in blue and the whole school In red. I can’t imagine how those three students must have felt having to justify to so many other studentd why they were voting for their candidate. Anyhow, all the staff in the office have each there back. The assistant Principal runs the school. The Principal sits in her office with a free paycheck. Test scores are great but anything outside of that you will have to teach on your own. And the school is well connected with the district so good luck with complaints.

  I love Wesley Heights, all of my children attend/attended this school. One of my sons who is in the 7th grade was tested into the Magnet program. My other son who still attends was excepted into the magnet for his 6th grade year of middle school next year. Even though I’ve had my ups and downs, I will say that the teachers and Dr. Evans are on the same sheet of music. Dr. Evans tried to do a lot of things for the school like introducing more fine arts type of activities to the scholars. The school held a Career Day program where the school had people come in from the local Humane society and other local business to talk to the kids about what they do. They also have a wonderful dance team and a new Music teacher and Art teacher this year that put on a show to showcase the kids art and musical talents. My daughter is currently in third grade here and has been struggling but the teachers communicate to me all the issues she has (most out of their control) and try to meet up with me as soon/frequent as possible to help her succeed. I notice new teachers coming around and they seem to really care about the scholars success as much as the veteran teachers at the school. As a parent I don’t rely on the teachers to do everything with my children I do a lot of extra work with them outside of school mostly because they cant be expected to home train or teach them everything. I do feel like my boys came a long way and a big part of their success came from the support I was given from the Wesley Heights staff. Its been an 8 year journey and its still not over yet but I can honestly say am absolutely satisfied.

early years

Alexander was born in 1804 in 1804 in 1804 in 1804 in 1804 in 1804 in 1804 in 1804 Louise, VA ^[1] eldest son of Rev. Archibald Alexander and his wife Janette Waddell. ^[2] He was born at Hopewell Manor not far from today. Gordonsville at the residence of his maternal grandfather, after whom it was named, the blind Presbyterian preacher James Waddell. ^[3] His younger brothers included William Cowper Alexander (1806–1874), president of the New Jersey State Senate and first president of the Fair Life Insurance Society, and Joseph Addison Alexander (1809–1860), biblical scholar. ^[1]

At the time of Alexander’s birth, his father was president of Hampden Sydney College in Virginia. He attended his first schools in Philadelphia after his father was called to serve as minister of the Third Presbyterian Church in 1807. The family moved to Princeton, New Jersey when Archibald Alexander was appointed as the first professor at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1812. Alexander entered the College of New Jersey (now the University of Princeton) in 1817 and graduated in 1820, ^[3] He then studied for four years at Princeton Theological Seminary. ^[2] In 1824 he helped found the Chi Phi Society, a semi-religious, semi-literary organization that went out of business the following year when it merged with the Philadelphia Society.

Career

In 1824 he was appointed as a tutor, and in the same year he received a license to preach from the New Brunswick, New Jersey Presbytery. ^{[2] [4]} He pastored the Charlotte County, Virginia Presbyterian Church from 1826 to 1828, and the First Presbyterian Church of Trenton, New Jersey from 1829to 1832 ^[5]

In 1833 he was appointed professor of rhetoric and fiction at the College of New Jersey. ^[1] He served in this capacity until 1844, when he became pastor of Duane Street Presbyterian Church in New York for the next five years. ^[4] From 1849 to 1851 he was professor of church history and church administration at Princeton Theological Seminary. ^[1] He then returned to the New York church, which in its new location was known as Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. He served as minister there until his death. ^[5]

Alexander became the patron of Henry Baldwin Hyde, who founded the Fair Life Insurance Society in 1859. Many of the company’s early directors were members of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, recruited by Alexander. ^[6] Alexander’s brother, William Cowper Alexander, was named the company’s first president. His son, James Waddell Alexander, would later also serve as company president, and another son, William S. Alexander, served as company secretary.

Personal life

On June 18, 1830, Alexander married Elizabeth Clarentine Cabell (1809-1885), daughter of George Cabell and Susanna Wyatt. Her paternal great-grandfather, William Cabell (1699–1774), was patriarch of the prestigious Cabell family in Virginia. They had seven children: ^[7]

• George Cabell Alexander (1831-1839)
• Archibald Alexander (1832-1834)
• Henry Carrington Alexander (1835-1894), author of Joseph Alexander 9 Life0163 (1870)
• James Waddell Alexander (1839–1915), president of the Equitable Life Support Society, 1899–1905; portrait painter John White Alexander’s father-in-law and mathematician’s grandfather James Waddell Alexander II
• John Alexander (1845-1847)
• William S. Alexander (1848-1937), co-founder of Pi Kappa Alpha and secretary of the Equitable Life Insurance Society
• Janetta Alexander ( 1850-1851)

Alexander came from an old and distinguished family in Princeton through his mother. He is the only son of American portrait painters John White Alexander and Elizabeth Alexander. His maternal grandfather, also named James Waddell Alexander, was the president of 9 Life Insurance Company.0162 The Equitable (in) . Alexander’s financial wealth and education allowed him to associate with the high society of America and other countries. In 1917 he married Russian-born Natalia Levitskaya, and until 1937 they regularly visited the Chamonix region (in France), where they practiced hiking and mountaineering.

He is a pioneer in algebraic topology, laying the foundations of Henri Poincare’s ideas on homology and deepening them by founding cohomology, which gradually developed over the decade after he gave the definition of the Kochan complex. For this work he received the Bocher Prize at 1928 year. He also contributed to the beginnings of knot theory by inventing the Alexander polynomial at the knot, which in modern terms is the modulus of elasticity obtained using the homologies of the infinite cyclic covering of the knot’s complement. From this invariant, he determines the first of the knot invariants.

Together with his doctoral student Garland Briggs (in), he also gives a combinatorial description of knot invariance based on certain motions, currently called Reidemeister motions; as well as means for computing a polynomial from an oriented knot diagram.

Alexander is also a renowned climber, having successfully completed several major climbs, for example in the Swiss Alps and in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. A fireplace in Rocky Mountain National Park is named after him. When he was at Princeton, he liked to climb university buildings and always left his office window open so he could walk through and get inside.

Toward the end of his life, Alexander began to live as a hermit. His reputation as a socialist and his importance brought him to the attention of the McCarthyists. The atmosphere of the McCarthy period made him even more isolated. He was not seen in public again after 1954 years old when he appeared in public to sign a letter in support of Robert Oppenheimer.
