I have 2 daughters that goes to MMS and they both love the school and the staff. The school has made progress since it open and you can see that in the scores of the OAT. All of Massillon schools had to adjust to the time changes of the school starting time. My children had to adjust riding the bus
... Read more with the 7 & 8 graders riding their bus this year and it was rough the first couple of weeks but with the help of one caring principal and the guidance couselor my children got through it. Massillon is a community that supports the schools. Yes football plays apart but that is just minor part of what is going on here in Massillon. All of the schools did great on the OAT test and several schools move up the ladder. Read less

This school was horrible. I was there since it opened and just left this past year. I had so much trouble with the principal staff, and I hated the way the class schedules were set up. Please avoid going to this school.

This school lacks leadership, communication with parents, and support for the teaching staff. The principal treats all the students like they are problem children and does not respond to parents. The library shelves are shockingly empty, to the point that a request was made to parents to donate books.
... Read more The textbooks are out of date and must be shared, making it difficult for the parents who actually care to assist their children. If football is all anyone cares about, they are on the right track. The school funnels future players to the high school as well as musicians to play at halftime. Beyond that, there is very little positive going on. Read less

I have had children in MMS since the day it opened its doors. I can say that it has gotten better each year but still has internal issues that need resolved. The administration has been in a constant state of flux since the principal left a few months before it opened. I feel the school needs to restore

MMS certainly has some excellent very caring teachers, hopefully the district can hire the proper administrators to support them. Read less

I do not like this school at all. The children are treated like they are juvenile delinquents. My fifth grader only gets recess for one week out of 5 - the rest of the time, she gets to sit in a study hall. These children are being made to grow up too quickly. There is a lack of communication to the

As a concerned parent this is very frustrating. And yes, they really do only get one bathroom break. Additional ones have to be earned. They have rules upon rules and while I think rules are necessary they are way overboard. These are still children and school should be atleast a little fun. Read less

Not only am I a parent but also a former student. These children at the 'NEW' Massillon Middle School do not even have text books. They have books that stay in the classroom and can be checked out until morning if needed. If you're into football, you've came to the right place. These children are our
