We have been in the Oxford school district for a few years now (coming from Rochester) and have been very happy here. The teachers and the principle have been wonderful and really seem to go out of their way for the students to succeed. We have nothing negative to say, also the community has been so welcoming. The curriculum also gets a thumbs up.

They have all this money to make their school look good they should make their parking lot a little bigger can't even get my truck out of a parking spot

In my experience, teachers kind of suck at engaging students well most of the time. There's the occasional teacher ignoring girls in booty shorts and telling another girl to cover up because their clothing is a bit too far above their knees, I guess for the teacher's standards. The teachers motivate us to learn by bugging us to do our homework, which is a bit annoying, because they don't want us to act like elementary schoolers, then treat us like elementary schoolers sometimes. The school does not support student mental health very well in my opinion. We just have to sit through lessons in AM advisory that is pretty much just boring, repeated information. As far as I know, if you have a disability, it either has to be very visible and obvious, like not being able to walk properly. Otherwise, your parents have to get you an individualized education plan. I'm not in that plan, but my mom wants me in it, and my brothers are currently in it. As far as I know, it's just inconvenient in this school. You have an hour or class period where you sit in a room with a teacher and a few other kids, and instead of the class helping kids with homework, which a lot of kids say it's supposed to do, you get more homework. I guess I feel safe in the school. It's fine. Is family engagement actually supposed to be used? All our parents do is sign permission slips and ask us to do homework. Last topic, probably, the passing time should be longer than four minutes, if only because girls need more time to change their pads and tampons and stuff. Who decided four minutes was enough time? Some teachers don't care and WILL mark you tardy. Do adults not think middle schoolers have periods? Periods can start as early as ten. It's pretty stupid in my opinion.
