The school format is great and there are many options for students of most skills and interests. My disappointment is from the poor teacher communication in years 2006-2009. I cannot tell you how many times I gave my child a tongue lashing about a ParentConnect notice (email about missing assignments)
... Read more to find out the teacher was not loading data in a timely manner. The few times I sent a note to the teachers, I got a response 'tell you Mom the info is not current' Had my son's end of period grade not reflected that as so, I would have not known what to expect. On another instance, I got a call from a teacher three week's before end of school to say the teacher was not going to sponsor my child for a higher class next semester for lack of effort, when I gotten NO communication before.

I have to disagree with the parent that says little is done to encourage parents to be involved except for the Eagle Edition. I was on the PTA board there for several years and we had numerous volunteer opportunities and we posted pleas for help on the website, the PTA website, the Eagle Edition, through
... Read more flyers, posters and e-mails. Any parent who wants to be involved can be involved as much as as little as they like. The opportunities are there if you as a parent stay informed. I have had 3 children go through Haynes Bridge and all were well prepared for high school. I found Mrs. Reeves to be approachable and she told things straight up. Mrs. Boldus, a TAG teacher there was one of the best teachers my children ever had and they all learned from her. Read less

This is an amazing school and is culturally diverse. Like the world we live in. I have two children there and I have never had one incident with Ms. Reeves. The teachers and councelors have always been supportive of my special needs child. I would highly reccommend this school!

Haynes Bridge is a pretty good school academically. They are not always fair to the Hispanic and Black students. The principal is rude and fake to students and parents.

From all of the talk that I heard about how this is such a good school, I am extremely disappointed. First off, I would like to say that the entire teaching facility does an amazing job. With my son coming from a Hillside, he had a very difficult time there, now he is on par with the rest of his class
... Read more because of the help and excellent teaching the teachers do. Yet, as far as the rest of the school goes, I am very upset. The school is poorly maintained. Also, the school encourages students to become involved in clubs and activities, but little is done to encourage parents to become involved (besides a weekly 'eagle edition'). Read less

My daughter came from Northwood Elementary, which I absolutely did not like. HBMS was a breath of fresh air. I completely agree that Mrs. Reeves' speeches are demeaning to parents, but the school does not seem to suffer from it. My daughter is in the TAG program for all her academic subjects, and

The curriculum is challenging and interesting to my son. They run a very strict code of conduct at the school to try to thwart bullying and misconduct. I think by the nature of middle school, matters do happen. There is no warm and fuzzy feeling walking into the school and this is completely different
... Read more from elementary school. Ms. Reeves is a good administrator but her speeches at curriculum night are demeaning to parents and I've heard the same speech 2 years in a row. They have a 'no cell phones' policy yet do not allow students to use the office phone to call parents. The bldg is old but they have a new science wing that is wonderful and have many plans for improvements. They also have great clubs/activities for students. Read less

My daughter's 6th grade year at HBMS was disappointing. Most of the school is very dirty and poorly maintained. The exeption is the Eagle hall which is brightly painted and has pictures and plants. The rest (most) of the school is dingy, dirty, and depressing. Discipline is a big problem and bullying
... Read more of all sorts is common. Response from the teachers/admin to bullying incidences is disappointing. ('unless we actually witness it, not much we can do') We experienced it personally and I commonly hear parents in my neighborhood relay bad incidents that recieved little response from Admin. My attempts to speak with a couple teachers re dropping grades (A's dropping to C's) were met with apathy ('she's passing... she's doing fine') These are the same teachers who show alot of movies instead of teaching. The one exception to this is Mr. Cassidy, a truly GREAT teacher. Read less
