Our experience at Elkton middle school has been nothing but a nightmare. The bullying is out of control and the principles and the school officials do nothing about it. A matter of fact, they lied to your face and tell you that they’re gonna do something but they don’t. they punished their students for missing time because of bullying and make it sound like the victim is the problem. The teachers have given up. They do not give homework. They do not bring books home. They do not bring a Chromebook comb they do not bring review she home too study for anything. It is a compete joke. They destroyed my child for school. She loved going to school. She was a straight a student. Now she’s a CD student and nobody cares. This school needs to be shut down because it is a disgrace and a waste of taxpayer money

The Algebra 2 math teacher at East Rock is terrible. They don’t know how to teach, and most of the class is confused every single day. They move too fast, barely explain anything, and when students ask for help, they either get ignored or talked down to.Almost everyone is failing or getting bad grades, and it’s clearly because of how bad the teaching is. It’s not even just one class the whole grade is struggling. The school doesn’t seem to care either. They keep the same teachers even though students aren’t learning anything. East Rock needs to do way better because this is just setting kids up to fail.

We moved here from a top rated Virginia school and district. We had our reservations. But ultimately the leadership and staff were a welcome change. The biggest challenge and benefit is the economic diversity. The government pours money into the school. The available technology far surpasses the average Virginia school. And the school is pretty new and kept spotless!
