This school, while highly recommended scholastically, is reprehensible when it comes to racism and bullying. If you have a student of color, STEER CLEAR!!! They will lie to your face telling you they care about your student's education and future all while falsely accusing them of all sorts of ridiculousness from small issues of bathroom usage to drug use. If your student of color is harassed or the victim of bullying, they will have a meeting about it with you then do nothing to the student (usually a white student) that was the aggressor. They will find every angle to turn it against a student of color. The staff is just as guilty of it as the white students. They will maliciously try to do everything to get your student in trouble with, what I'm convinced of, the end goal being expulsion. The school district even recently voted to reduce the number of students coming in under open enrollment because they didn't want as many students of color coming from Milwaukee (paraphrased from a conversation with a board member). The school board also had quite a battle to keep even more racists off their board last year (2023). It was very close but thankfully they succeeded. It didn't solve the race issue, but it kept it from getting worse. This entire school district has traumatized my kids to the point where they have to be on anxiety medication. I can't afford private school and my only other cost- and time-effective alternative is MPS (Milwaukee Public Schools) which is not an option by educational standards. If you are lucky enough to have options, choose them over MTSD, especially Homestead.

Steffen Middle School is by far an excellent school. My child was very well prepared for high school after completing 3 years at Steffen. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to help all students achieve their best. The principal is a great leader and well respected throughout the district.

I have a daughter who has autism teachers are very helpful and few months of my daughter going to this school my daughter progress a lot she master her reading and math. I can’t thank enough to this teacher the best schools.
