The buses are 45 min last in the morning and afternoon in the beginning of the school year. During the school year it's just a frequent surprise. The children are subjected to extraordinary long days in extreme weather. Parents especially single patent just given it is what it is explanation. Funds need to be allocated to stop this clown show.

I am currently a student at Providence Middle School (7th grade), and i wanted to share my experience at the school to warn parents and their children. Before i went to this school my mother researched it. After doing so, she didn't want me to go here at all, because she had seen some people's experiences claiming about how they had a ''bad time''. Despite that I still decided to attend the school, which was a big mistake. From the outside it seems great, but my school has many flaws.It is a very well built school, with an amazing design, but some of the teachers are kind of rude and can be aggressive at times for no reason. Fights happen very often, and it makes me and many other students feel unsafe. Another thing to note is that I used to be a person who spoke a lot, but now i don't speak much. This is because many students pick on each other, and I fear that I will be picked on next. If you want your child to attend this school, please, don't let them. It will be a horrible experience for them, and for you. I understand we all have different experiences at schools but, i recommend you not risk something like what I've experienced happen to your child. I have tried being myself at this school but no matter what they always made rude remarks and said mean things. The food is nasty, and the photos people take of each other are so terrible they can ruin your entire reputation. Something I really dislike is that, the communication at the school is terrible. A few months ago i had signed up for mega mentors (a school program) and I missed multiple meet-ups due to the terrible communication. The hallways are very hard to navigate through and are often crowded every time a fight occurs. So, please, please, do not let your child attend this school!

James River is an amazing school. It’s like a family atmosphere. The kids get along well and the faculty and staff do a great job. Athletics are hands down the best in the county across the board.
