Raising a second child going through Powder Mill Middle School is stressful. I Who's watching the cookie jar in this school? Let's wait until high school for the note taking and give our child the books and resources they deserve to do well!

I think that this school needs to work on thier 'policy' and start acting like they care instead of just saying that they do. The teachers dont know anything the princables dont know what they're doing. That school is so un organized that it pushes away more students then they are letting in.

I'm a former student at STRHS. I went from getting almost perfect grades to being a high school drop out. The teachers at STRHS are horrible and the admistration is even worst. The school is drug infested, and I would NEVER send a child of mine there.

There is virtually no art program...notices for upcoming events are given with short notice if any and the child is chastised for not returning them earlier. Two hours of the currriculum is devoted to the MCAS during testing years and the kids are pushed to perform well on them to the point of extreme stress. This school system brings new meaning to No Child Left Behind...They all are! This will be our last year! A Concerned Parent Read less

As a parent of a 2003/2004 ninth grade high school age student I'm extremely disappointed in STRH. In my humble opinion they could be doing a lot more to educate our kids. School administration and teachers seem complacent and satisfied in providing a mediocre product. There's no spark, no enthusiasm,
... Read more NO NOTHING. The best teachers seem to be the first or second year hires. Those that have been there for some time have lost what it was that most probably attracted them to the profession in the first place. The so-called high ability classes my student attended the previous year were a joke...my student had virtually NO HOMEWORK and the freshman teaching staff (save one) was completely lack-luster and provided no guidance even when asked!!! As a result I've bailed-out and opted to go to another school to get what is needed. Read less
