If you are looking for a school environment where your child will have a diverse, bully free, engaged teachers, acceptance of all races, genders, and full social and emotional support do not send them to Page Middle School in Franklin TN. We moved here from out of state in 2022 and were placed in page middle. The teachers themselves belittle the students and the curriculum focuses on copy and paste monday, here is a study guide Tuesday and let’s have a quiz on Wednesday. They teach the children how to take tests they do not teach to learn. If your child is not caucasian be prepared to have your children be bullied to the worst degree inside of school and on the bus home. If your child needs any sort of in school mental health services that you request will not receive any. Don’t bother emailing the principal he is on as much of a power trip as the teachers are. Problem children that disrupt class are not dealt with making it difficult for the rest of the class to learn. Unless your kid is into cheerleading and football don’t expect real dedicated after school clubs or engagement from the school community to encourage children who are not on the sports teams, The only focus in this school is hitting the TCAP marks to keep the facade this is a functional school. They teach nothing on the exam and then do practice drills the same weeks of other important exams inclusive of mountains of home work. Expect burn out from your kids very quickly. Prepare to also send your child with food to school as the lunch times begin at 9am and the food they serve is abysmal. The 9 out of 10 rating is purely based on test score numbers. The only positive of this school is it is well secured against intruders with dedicated deputies on site. Do not place your kids in Page Middle or Page High.

I have had three kids go here. They all liked it. Teachers seem nice and kids have homework to help with their learning. Two suggestions for improvement:. If your kid is on an IEP I haven't seen them work with the parents to fix the key issues. The want to add lots of unnecessary things to the plan to have items to check off vs the key learning objectives that don't make progress. The second thing is the busses are often not on time leading to parents having to miss work.

I am the parent of a 2017 High School Graduate, of Independence High School. Given my only child, my son, graduated now over 5 years ago, I am not certain of the new administration, so I can only provide direct information as to his and my experience (mine of course, as a parent of an Indy student). I do have a niece at Indy now, and she loves it. She is on the Ultimate Freesbie Team and is thriving at Independence, when she had tons of issues at previous schools that she attended. I am so grateful that she is finally at a school where she can be accepted for who she is, as an individual. I saw another review that stated that the school last cliques, but please... what large group of individuals doesn't? I saw another review that stated that the school is not diverse at all, however, based on experience, I can say that the school is highly diverse. My son is a very well rounded individual and he had tons of friends from all walks of life. Honestly, had it not been for his experience at Independence, I'm not so sure he would be so well rounded. My son played sports including Football and Baseball, while also thoroughly enjoying his time in Theater, with a completely different group of classmates. It was his acceptance of all people, regardless of their ethnicity, heritage, etc., as well as their acceptance of the same. A very diverse group. There were no racial issues at all, during our time at Indy. That is why we loved it so much. Sure, there are going to be those with less education on heritage backgrounds, that run their mouth, or whatever, but I can assure you, at Indy, those folks are far and few between. I overwhelming recommend this high school, based on our experience. The school has a very high academic record, as well as success in nearly every sport, and high success in football, basketball, and soccer, among others. The teachers at Indy are very supportive and genuine, wanting to follow your child success, post high school, due to their heartfelt interest in uplifting young people into adulthood. Their Nursing Program is stellar and something my son enjoyed while there. My son is now a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree, Environmental Science. He is very independent, needing nothing from me, except advice from time to time. I firmly believe in the teachers and staff at Indy and I am so grateful that they all believed in my son. Good Luck!
