I couldn't be prouder when a tell people my kids went to Stratton!I'm not sure what's going on at Madison Middle, but I know that the kids who went through Stratton know how to act when they move next door.All of the students need a strong foundation like they get at Stratton Elementary.

I truly wished this school could live up to its potential, especially given its proximity to my home. Unfortunately, it falls far short. For those zoned to this institution, I extend my sincerest sympathies. The school suffers from a pervasive lack of discipline and oversight, with safety seemingly an afterthought. Disturbingly, incidents of violence against both teachers and students occur with alarming regularity, underscoring a deep systemic failure.The administration appears paralyzed by fear of reprisal from the MNPS central office, prioritizing favorable statistics over the well-being of the school community by failing to expel students for violent behavior. Meanwhile, the central office seems more concerned with avoiding litigation from parents, leaving a void of accountability. Students, consequently, often act with impunity, unchecked by any semblance of authority. The result is a chaotic and dysfunctional environment where order and discipline are conspicuously absent.At Hunter's Lane, one encounters a broken system—a confluence of insubordination, rampant violence, drug use, and general lawlessness. The staff, understandably overwhelmed, are left to contend with these challenges in an atmosphere of profound apathy.Having spent a year navigating this deeply flawed environment, I cannot recommend this school to any parent seeking a safe and supportive educational setting for their child. If possible, consider alternative options such as MLK or a private institution. My experience included grappling with issues ranging from physical assaults to classroom chaos where learning is near impossible, all within a system that appears incapable of meaningful reform. My advice: avoid this school if at all possible.
