Mr. Price, the new principal, has done wonders for this school. Discipline has improved, teacher morale has been restored, and there is a sense of renewed optimism.

Although there are some very dedicated teachers at the Middle School there are also some teachers who should have been let go along time ago. I feel the education my child received was below acceptable standards and I had to pay a tuitor to teach my child what should have been learned in school. The

SMS has been overlooked by the Board of Ed and they have done nothing for the kids in SMS except neglect them. Needless to say my other children will not be atteding SMS. Read less

I am thankful that my son has 'graduated' from SMS. There are some very dedicated teachers, but the majority are lazy, undedicated and rude. The principal has retired, so maybe with different leadership the school can move forward. There is a real problem with teacher retention. My son did not have

I currently attend SMS. I'm going into 8th grade next year, and I'm dreading going back to the school. Shallotte Middle School is completely unsatisfactory, and it has been for my siblings before me, too. There are so many problems at this school that it's hard to fit it all in one 150-word review. First
... Read more of all, the teachers are very far from what you'd want for your education. Many teachers I've had this year and last year play favorites like crazy. Some kids can do nothing and get great grades because they're popular, and others will try their hardest and come up short. Also, the teachers have absolutely no authority over their students. Seeing kids disrespecting adults and getting away with it is just pathetic. The atmosphere at SMS is not a learning environment by any means. Even the best student will be distracted and their education will be unfavorable. Read less

All of my experiences with SMS have been negative. There is absolutely no regard for parental concerns, the reception staff is rude to say the least. I am considering moving out of the district and it appears from other parent comments that I am not alone.
