8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter started 6th grade. The school was a zoo. No order or discipline. Children running wild. All middle schools are crazy it’s a crazy age for kids but what the teacher’s and admin’s excuse for being bullies themselves? A boy kept harassing her and following her he shoved her she shoved him back to defend herself. He was bigger than her and already had disciplinary issues on his record. My straight A student who was never in trouble for anything was give detention by the Vice Principal for the first time in her life simply for protecting herself from a bigger abusive boy. She chose to believe his side of the story and her decision was 100% racially motivated. I decided the day she came home crying and told me she had detention I had two choices I could go and fight with the V principal a retaliatory petty woman or I could empower my child with a better education. That was the first and last year my kid was in that school. I moved her to private school because we could. I know Not everyone is lucky enough to have those options. “Choice” is the worst thing to happen to DE schools. If you want to be fair keep the kids who come to school to educate themselves not the ones who come to cause trouble.Parent Review1y ago - Dickinson (John) High School
