9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnfortunately this school has gone downhill the past 2 years due to ineffective leadership that fails to put educational needs first. Curriculum is not followed by some teachers and the principal doesn’t enforce the rules or requirements. IEP’s are not always followed. Bullying mentality is rampant throughout administration and among some teacher, which flows over into the student body.Parent Review5y ago - Ordean East Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagethis school is terrible for mental health. im a current student at ordean and i cannot stand the staff or other students, teachers will constantly turn a blind eye to bullying and straight couples yet anyone in a gay relationship will be alienated, called slurs, and harassed, same with anyone who is transgender or of color. the teachers are rude and opinionated, they treat their students terribly and some of the male teachers are even creepy towards girls. the staff spends all of the profits on the building and new websites like “smart pass” which is a way to keep students from going to the bathroom essentially. they do not give students any field trips because of the wasted money and the school is run like a prison. teachers care more about money, summer break, and making students into mindless zombies instead of their students health and mental health. this school is the worst school ive ever been to and i dont suggest anyone goes there.Student Review3y ago
