I went to this school a few years ago. Amazing experience overall.

I love Irmo Middle School and all that it offers students.

This school is an absolute nightmare. It feels like a dark cloud hangs over every corner, and no one seems to care about the torment I go through each day. The teachers and staff turn a blind eye to the bullying that suffocates my existence. It's heart-wrenching to be sitting in the guidance counselor's room, tears streaming down my cheeks, as I desperately beg for someone to do something, anything, about the cruelty I endure.But all they tell me is to 'ignore' the pain and 'be the bigger person.' How can I be expected to carry this burden alone? I've been strong for so long, trying to be the bigger person, swallowing my tears and fears, but the torment never stops. It feels like I'm drowning in a sea of heartlessness and indifference.To make matters worse, the teachers play favorites, glorifying those who disrupt classes, act out, or are popular, while the rest of us are left feeling invisible and insignificant. It's soul-crushing to see how these so-called educators value loudness over empathy, disruption over understanding, and popularity over genuine kindness.Nothing seems to matter to them unless it impacts the school's precious reputation. They turn a blind eye to the horrors of bullying until it's too late – when violence, harassment, and threats loom over the school. It's sickening to realize that our pain only matters when it threatens their image.This school, this place that should nurture and protect us, has become a battleground of pain and suffering. It feels like I'm trapped in a nightmarish world where I'm constantly belittled, dehumanized, and broken.I dream of a place where compassion and empathy reign, where students are cherished for who they are, and their dreams are supported, not crushed. I long for a sanctuary where my cries for help are heard, and my pain is acknowledged. But as of now, this school is nothing more than a heartless, gut-wrenching nightmare, and it's simply not right.

More schools need to be able to have reviews given by parents. I would never recommend this school it's fairly a new school and the teachers do not know how to handle a child with severe adhd. When I say do not have your child attend this chool I would definitely not recommend it. All they are worried about is disciplining a child who has a severe learning disability instead of helping them understand material. Punishing a child constantly when they do not know how to learn the material is not the way to go when you're handling a child that has a severe learning disability. More teachers need to know how to deal with children who have ADHD if they don't know how to teach children with that disability they should not be teaching children with it
