this school is only focused on sports, getting rid of every art program to fund weightlifting. with the students being disrespectful and rude and not being stopped, constant fights in the halls, people skipping classes. every teacher buries the students in work that takes hours to finish, ignoring the fact that some of us have jobs and important things to do out of the building, the staff are immoral and stuck up, the principal does nothing other than stand around. not to mention the school getting rid of paintings from the 80's just to put up stupid low quality banners that are ugly and unfitting, the school is untidy having rats and roaches around, the old gym had not been cleaned since 2020 until last year when everyone had to complain. moral is i dont recommend this school the teachers wont teach you anything.

My daughter had a wonderful 3 years at this school. We had completed in kindergarten, through second grade and she loved all her teachers. The principal was kind and attentive. The teachers were attentive and kind. The teachers listened and are informative about lesson plans. They taken care of the children in this school as if they were one of their own.

My son is finishing 4th grade, and was there all of last year as well. He has really been pushed and is exceeding greatly! He loves his teachers and always comes home happy! The PTO does a fantastic job raising funds for the school projects, and my son LOVES going to all of the special events. He also loves the AIG projects and the school has really made his learning fun. The teachers and staff really do want great things for the students!

I have had 4 children attend Stanley Middle. If you have children you know, no 4 children are the same and none of mine are either.My oldest son, had trouble fighting, understanding what was taught to him, sleeping in class, ect the school staff, Principal, Vice Principal, teachers were all great with communication, redirecting him and working with him. My 2nd oldest was a sassy, talkative little drama queen. The staff as well as teachers still see her and hug her. My 3rd child, smart as a whip, straight A's never settled for a B, hardworking, kinda quite but full of attitude. Again staff was wonderful with her.. Last but not least my youngest, on the spectrum, had an IEP, struggled completing assignments, had a hard time paying attention in class. The teachers respected my decision on not wanting to put my child on medication and was willing to meet his needs and help in any way they could. 4 kids, 4 different personalities, 4 different needs all of which were met each year. I 10/10 recommend Stanley Middle School, the office staff is wonderful and the teachers are amazing.
