Chase middle School, I personally, think that is is a great school. You have to go in there with a good & positive attitude, otherwise you'll be treated as your attitude. These kids know how to be respectful, but they expect respect to give it. That's all I have to say.

Why aren't there more after school programs for students? There is no STUCO, Yearbook, Pep club, or cheerleaders. There is however after school tutoring available as well as an after school program that seems to babysit kids. Once a year there is a musical that is awesome. Kids can get involved in

From what I hear she lets the students know she doesn't respect/support certain teachers. The teachers turnover is outrageous. How can our kids learn when there are more than 7 new teachers a year? This should not be happening. I am really concerned. The students need more motivation to learn at this school. Some of the long term teachers are awesome as well. More parent involvment would be wonderful! Read less

The faculy and staff at Chase Middle School are willing to go the extra mile for students. However, there are many new changes that took place this school year. More than 6 new teachers were hired. Only a few staff members have been at the school longer than 3 years. I anticipate that this will not

Those that do stay are exceptional teachers who will fight for your childs education. There are still fights that occur in the halls despite the many cameras throughout the school. Read less

Wonderful kids, many great teachers. Lots of poverty, but most of the teachers are sensitive to student needs and are working hard to help them overcome their disadvantages. Great social worker and counselors as well. They also have an after school program which is meeting the academic and social

My daughter went to Chase for three years, under two different principals. Both principals were good, and loved the kids. The new principal, now in her second year, is doing marvelous work. Sure, there are some teachers who need help, and many of them are getting it. There are also some absolutely

Many of the CMS students are very needy, and many of the staff are helping to deal with those issues in a positive way. I was pleased with my daughter's overall experiences at Chase M.S. We could have sent her elsewhere, but are glad we did not. Parents who work with and support the staff's efforts will be happy with Chase Middle School. Read less

I am sorry to say that this is not a good school. Discipline is weak, teachers attitudes are poor, and kids that are quiet, well behaved and just do as they are supposed to are often overlooked. Fights happen on an almost daily basis and most halls are not monitored by teachers. Some teachers spend
... Read more almost as much time complaining about their jobs to the students as they do actually teaching. And the school administrators and teachers have such poor communication, when there is a problem it is very difficult to get any information. Bullying is overlooked in many cases. And there does not seem to be anyone there that will accept responsibility for anything. Read less

I have not been pleased with Chase Middle School. There were many fights at the school, discipline problems were not addressed, and district protocol was not followed. Our child was punched in the stomach and this was witnessed by a teacher. We were not notified and when I called the school I was
... Read more told that nothing was done to the other student and I was not notified because he was 'not hit that hard' When I was referred to the Assistant Principle I was told by him that it is not my business what is done to the other student and besides, no one ever told him. This was a common response from teachers. Teachers also complained to students about their work load, the superintendent, their pay and that they needed more snow days and time off. There are a handful of good dedicated teachers. No extra activities except sports. Read less
