The teachers are the most skilled and incredible people! The children are fortunate to have some care and stability. Unfortunately the male principle is a bully and man handles and yells at the children for minor indescretions. I would be wary bringing your child to this particular school. I hope the school board replaces that man before a child begins to feel hopeless.

As a student at Rodger Quist Middle School, I can say that it has helped me. Last year, I attended a very rough elementary school, and I found myself in the office almost every day. While I do visit the office here occasionally, overall, my experience at Quist has helped me change for the better.However, during the second quarter, I noticed that some students started showing their true colors, and I found myself changing in a negative way. Certain friends peer pressured me into vaping, and that’s when I discovered that several students in my grade, probably about 7 to 17, vaped.The teachers are generally supportive once you build a good bond with them and understand their teaching styles. I believe that all grades would benefit from improvements in math teaching, as it can be quite challenging. Overall, the school is decent, but I do experience bullying and body shaming from a specific group of students. I think it would be helpful to ask teachers to keep a closer eye on the conversations students have.Regarding counseling, the counselors are pretty supportive, but I sometimes feel they are less helpful when discussing serious problems. They often try to make you happy instead of helping you cope with the issues you’re facing.

Horrible school and system if you have a child on IEP for ADHD they will make sure not to support your child at all. They label your child as a bad child right away and treat them as such. Really sad I have to pay a lawyer to have my child be supported by a school. Told by multiple staff there the school is too big. So your child will definitely just be a number to them and nothing more.
