I am currently a student at Providence Middle School (7th grade), and i wanted to share my experience at the school to warn parents and their children. Before i went to this school my mother researched it. After doing so, she didn't want me to go here at all, because she had seen some people's experiences claiming about how they had a ''bad time''. Despite that I still decided to attend the school, which was a big mistake. From the outside it seems great, but my school has many flaws.It is a very well built school, with an amazing design, but some of the teachers are kind of rude and can be aggressive at times for no reason. Fights happen very often, and it makes me and many other students feel unsafe. Another thing to note is that I used to be a person who spoke a lot, but now i don't speak much. This is because many students pick on each other, and I fear that I will be picked on next. If you want your child to attend this school, please, don't let them. It will be a horrible experience for them, and for you. I understand we all have different experiences at schools but, i recommend you not risk something like what I've experienced happen to your child. I have tried being myself at this school but no matter what they always made rude remarks and said mean things. The food is nasty, and the photos people take of each other are so terrible they can ruin your entire reputation. Something I really dislike is that, the communication at the school is terrible. A few months ago i had signed up for mega mentors (a school program) and I missed multiple meet-ups due to the terrible communication. The hallways are very hard to navigate through and are often crowded every time a fight occurs. So, please, please, do not let your child attend this school!

I cannot stress how much this school overprepared me for college. Those four years of high school were easily the worst of my life. I did more work than necessary in every class and the trauma that comes with that can't be overstated. Do yourself a favour and be like everybody else, because if you stray too far from the average, you're done. Hell, don't bother taking advanced classes either. It's just not worth your time.

We've had a very positive experience at Providence Elementary. The teachers seem to really care about their students. My son has excelled both socially and academically and enjoys attending.
