As someone who advocates for a great educational experience and spends 20-30+ hours a week in the school volunteering I can't begin to tell you how baffled I am at the administration and lack of regard for student safety and concerns in this school. Let me first say the bullying at this school is OUT of control. You will be told it is a "unicorn situation" when it is your child but hear me now, it is a lie. Administration turns the tables to blame the bullied child and insinuates they are taking everything personally when it is evident that is not the case based on physicial factors the student is being bullied over. They will have "meetings" with you to assure it will be fixed. It will not and you will not hear back from them. Young teachers that have no control over their classroom, administration pointing the finger at everyone but themselves. Total train wreck. If you want your child to learn in a supportive and engaging environemnt please consider looking elsewhere for your child.

There have been multiple instances of children being caught with guns. There are cameras facing every bathroom and they’ll have people standing and mean mugging your child right in front of the bathroom and god forbid your child goes to the bathroom during a time others are because they send the police officer into the bathroom to look under the stalls without knocking or anything. The school has a high graduation rate because teachers and principals just try to push the kids through your child will not learn anything here. Teachers don’t correct student behaviors unless it’s directed at them. Admin walk around in the hallway to ‘catch’ students but they ignore clear problem students and go straight for the others. They also make the special kids go around and clean the school like a janitor team. I’m pretty sure that’s not okay?

I have been leaving in the community where this school is located. I have heard AND seen wonderful things! I am totally excited about the work the Ag teacher is doing! I see that they have a garden outside for the students to learn how to cultivate and grow their own foods! You don't see these types of programs at other middle schools. I commend the county and the school administration for having the vision to include this as part of the curriculum.
