As a parent, I promote and encourage reading in my home. I am so pleased that my daughter is fortunate to have Ms. Houseman as her 6th grade Language Arts teacher. Ms. Houseman has a great journal assignment that requires the children to write weekly journals on books read that week. They must read a

This will ensure Ms. Houseman that the child is actually reading the book because she is fully aware of the contents of the story. Ms. Houseman also takes the time to write her reviews on each child's journal. I say it's like having a book club in which the books are read and discussed by not only summarizing the story but including the author's purpose. Great job, Ms. Houseman! Read less

This school is undergoing a lot of growing pains as you can tell by reading through the reviews from year to year it is only getting better. I am impressed with the dedication of the teachers and staff at SRMS. With a bit of choice for my childs school I am extremely happy with the level of education

There will always be bumps in the road when you put that many student s together but those are individual students whom are taught interpersonal skills by their own parents and home environments. That is where children learn to create intimidating and threatening environments not the other way around. This is a stellar school that I highly recommend and as you can see, it is only going to get better. Read less

It's a great school. I went to elementry schools in Florida, compared to there this was the greatest school in the world. They had activities, music, and made learning fun. If I had to go throught middle school again, I would definatly go to SRMS all over again. What ever people say about our school
... Read more is not true. The teachers care about us,the kids aren't all that bad, and we love the school. I think that if I would have gone to any other school, I wouldn't have made it to where I am today in Reading and Spanish thanks to Mr. Gravelle and Mrs. Daigle. I used to hate science, but after being in Mr. Fletcher's class I love it. So learn about the school before you believe what you read in the newspaper, I love this school and all of the teachers in it and wouldn't have it any-other-way. Read less

I know some people might not think that SRMS is a good school, but i have gone there for 3 years. I can personally say, most of the teachers, Mrs. Daigle, Ms. Maday, Mr. Bailer, Mr. Fletcher, and Ms. Beavan, care a lot about the students! This school just gets kicked around because it wasn't a very good
... Read more school 3 years ago, but things have changed. Sure we have had some bomb threats, fights, and other problems, but they are all taken seriously. This is a school I personally will remember because it was such fun to go there. I am actually sad to be leaving it next year to go to GMHS. If you look at all the other schools, you will fing that they have just as much problems as we do. Our problems have actually decreased in the past 3 years. This school is a good one truely!
