This School does not satisfy me at all. I am and 8th grader and can't wait to leave for high school! There's a reason we made academically unacceptable last year.

Bastrop Middle School needs to implement a sensitivity program for some of their staff. Overall, there are some really great teachers in this school. Unfortunately, there are a few not so great teachers can have a huge impact for the negative for some of the students. What I have seen in these couple
... Read more of years is lack of the ability to speak to parents and students in a respectful tone. I am appalled at the unnecessary aggressive undertones that or used. I am also unhappy with the fact that administration in this school, seems to go out of their way to make parents feel unwelcome in the school. It makes me wonder, 'What do they not want us to see?' They don't seem to understand that parental involvement is most important when the child/children goes into middle and high school. Read less

My son is flourishing here. He feels safe and feels accepted by his teachers. As an educator, I applaud the efforts of administration and staff.

There are a limited number of elective classes and it appears that grades and desire are not used to decide who gets the 'good' classes but socio-economic status. The 'good-old-boy' network is alive and well in this school district. There are some very good teachers but there is also a lack of 'teaching'

The principal cannot even pronounce the names of some of his own teachers and sometimes has difficulty recalling what their names are. Discipline is lax and safety concerns are not always given proper attention. Beware leaving your children early or picking them up late, even during school hours there is poor supervision. There is definitely room for improvement in this school. Read less
