My kids attend this school and have been bullied, come home crying more often than not with complaints of kids spitting on them, hitting them, stealing their stuff and more. Kids rarely receive homework or activities to encourage learning, I enrolled my 5 yr old son for kindergarten for his first year of school and within a month of just getting used to his teacher they have “selected” him to be in a new class they created which is a new adjustment for him and should have been done before children started school which just highlights their lack of organization. The school dismissal is a joke often resulting in waiting on a car rider line for 40-50 minutes for your child and apparently the last hour of school your child does not belong to you and you cannot get your child regardless of your emergency. It’s a disgusting way to treat families who have their children enrolled leaving parents feeling hopeless and striping parents of their right unnecessarily. This will be the last year my children are enrolled here.

This school is really bad on all types of ways. Teachers don’t care about the students specially when a student is been touched by another student. My daughter had to walk out of class and look for her sister to call me cause not even that they had right. They had another number when I updated my new number a couple of months ago. And just because the male student didn’t touch her boobs or butt it’s not considered nothing!!!! Now my daughter refuses to go back to that school. I don’t care if the male student touched her hand, arm shoulder if my daughter feels uncomfortable and tells the person to stop and he won’t and tells the teacher she wants to go to another class because she is very uncomfortable and she says no then what should my daughter do?? Shields middles school is so wrong in so many ways!!!!!

I would not recommend this school to anyone that cares about their children's education or safety. This school has had multiple occasions where guns were brought into the school or in students cars. The teachers don't care about teaching the students, instead they give your child packets of work or email them work to finish at home and they don't even understand. It takes forever to get a hold of anyone in the school whether that be emails, calls and texts. I can not stress enough how terrible this school is, the amount of students and careless teachers makes it hard for anything to be taught and it makes safety worse as well.
