I couldn't be prouder when a tell people my kids went to Stratton!I'm not sure what's going on at Madison Middle, but I know that the kids who went through Stratton know how to act when they move next door.All of the students need a strong foundation like they get at Stratton Elementary.

I truly wished this school could live up to its potential, especially given its proximity to my home. Unfortunately, it falls far short. For those zoned to this institution, I extend my sincerest sympathies. The school suffers from a pervasive lack of discipline and oversight, with safety seemingly an afterthought. Disturbingly, incidents of violence against both teachers and students occur with alarming regularity, underscoring a deep systemic failure.The administration appears paralyzed by fear of reprisal from the MNPS central office, prioritizing favorable statistics over the well-being of the school community by failing to expel students for violent behavior. Meanwhile, the central office seems more concerned with avoiding litigation from parents, leaving a void of accountability. Students, consequently, often act with impunity, unchecked by any semblance of authority. The result is a chaotic and dysfunctional environment where order and discipline are conspicuously absent.At Hunter's Lane, one encounters a broken system—a confluence of insubordination, rampant violence, drug use, and general lawlessness. The staff, understandably overwhelmed, are left to contend with these challenges in an atmosphere of profound apathy.Having spent a year navigating this deeply flawed environment, I cannot recommend this school to any parent seeking a safe and supportive educational setting for their child. If possible, consider alternative options such as MLK or a private institution. My experience included grappling with issues ranging from physical assaults to classroom chaos where learning is near impossible, all within a system that appears incapable of meaningful reform. My advice: avoid this school if at all possible.

Schools is crazy!! ISS is all day on you tube or phones what kind of punishment is that? no wonder the kids are out of control running the school. Fights every day!! My kid calls to be picked up early EVERY day from the classroom you can hear screaming and yelling and kids making sex sounds. It is not a school it is an out of control day care and a bad one at that. My kid in elementary has homework my other one at this school never has any not even make up work from missing school they just give out good grades for doing absolutely nothing and learning nothing but how to be a hoodlum. Kids skip class and walk around never questioned by anybody. my kid is going to a better school next year this is not a safe place.
