No extra curricular, no gym, the ey use the gym as cafeteria, teachers are underpaid and understaffed so the students lack an education. My daughter's teacher changed 3 times in one year! Worst school thus far.

Bullying is insane! Staff does nothing and no matter how many times it’s brought up it gets brushed under the rug! And they only care about test scores. Teacher Tamara Philips is THE WORST MATH TEACHER I have ever stumbled on! If your child struggles with math already, avoid her as their teacher because she will not give help when it’s asked for and says”refer back to notes” as if that will teach a child! Simply put she doesn’t teach! She’s a robot spewing information and nothing more! She also posts inappropriate content on her Facebook that demeans students and parents! Very unprofessional. If your child is not good at testing but has straight A’s they still place them based solely on the test scores which in most cases just dumbs down the student and they learn nothing all year only because they don’t do well on tests! Worst school experience ever for my child! We won’t be back next year!

This review comes only after 6 years of watching our kids fight to stay above average. With a revolving door with English teachers and a poor work ethic, my review would go as far as D+ or C-. Students are told they are being taught to get ready for high school, yet the adults themselves fall far short of acting like even a middle school. Its is now (after covid) ok to rely mainly on the parents for extra work amd even credible study guides. Using computer programs and playing games. In no way are they doing anymore than what is required. Even as I write this, final exams were changed the day of and switched. How is this allowed. Kids studied for say history and math, come to school and find out they have been switched to English and science. Does this not give the opportunity to study? Please dont tell me to study all courses as at every level, students get the opportunity to know when a test is to be taken. This isnt a pop quiz, this is a final. You can forget any syllabus or grades in a reasonable time. For an example or how the doubles standards are; Student A is given a zero for not tuning in work. This is normal. Yet the teacher did not tell student A that when he/she missed class they must do this specific make up work. To boot, the teacher can not run a professional syllabus? "Do as I say and not as i do?" Avalon middle with a 47%-51% reading proficiency is continuously going down hill and have come to use excuses without any change in behavior or action. Sitting at a B rating is obviously skewed and doesnt say much when Florida ranks in the bottom 15% in the nation. Wake up America. Id love for teachers fo make more money and maybe that would help. The school boards or teachers are shooting themselves in the foot with laziness after the pandemic. Its hard to get a raise when your own performance is going down. Performance based rasies should be implemented and be worth the work. We will be removing our kid from smthis school and if we must we will remove them from public schools. To be frank... this good Ole boy system and pretending that avalon middle is even on par with others like it, can be summed up by saying "bull".
