I am an 8th grade student at Leslie Stover Middle School, and for the sake of others, Here is my experience attending this school: I will be honest, Ive had the worst years here. There are many faculty members who are harsh and have been manipulative at times. There have been multiple incidents where students and teachers were treated unfairly, so please consider this before sending your child here. I'll start by saying the school Nurses often dont follow the standard routine when certian symptoms are mentioned. A student once came complaining about a headache and other factors of a possible concussion, and they were sent back to class with an ice pack. Not to mention that students may only be sent home if they have a high fever or have Second, when we (the student body) were to take the annual survey on our experience in the school, the assistant principal and other staff pulled individual homeroom classes to "talk" to them about how we need to get our rating up. Not only was the conversation they had with us illegal as they were telling us what we needed to rate them, but it was highly inaccurate. Thirdly, the students who attend desperately need more discipline. Teachers are constantly letting students get away with so much and are picking and choosing favorites, this has caused many injuries and incidents that have resulted in violence, doxxing, bullying, and more. Fouthly, I'll say in my experience I have not felt safe at this school at all, I thought being nervous about entering a school every morning was just normal, but it shouldn't be. There have been multiple accounts of weapon threats, actual weapons, and alcohol in the school. Finally, I will say from experience, the school lunches are not sustainable for us as students. We are 11-14 year old kids with growing bodies, the quantity and quality of food we are served is not good. I have found hairs in my food and many of my peers have complained of mold or feeling sick after eating school food. To add, im often very hungry after eating a school lunch because of the lack of food I am served. Overall, from my experience this school needs a serious reworking of both its methods, rules, and staff. Our principle has repeatedly attempted to get perfectly good staff fired, and make their work lives more difficult. I am unaware of who all this review might reach, but I sincerely hope it's someone, or enough people, to make a change or at least look into the matter, thank you.

Special needs child was severely bullied by other kids, not supervised enough by teachers. Teachers themselves scream at the children. Teachers should not be yelling at autistic children, thats the #1 thing they teach them. Overall horrible school, teachers are just there for the money, severe bullying and children that were not raised well

I’m not going to give details, but we came from another state that is ranked top 3 …. This school is an absolute joke. From admin, to the curriculum and staff. It’s actually laughable. The bar is so very low here.
