I honestly would not recommend this school to anyone considering it. The teaching quality is very poor, and it often feels like students are left to figure things out on their own without much real guidance or support from instructors.What’s even more concerning is the environment on campus. There are frequent fights between students, and it seems like very little is done to prevent them. It creates an unsafe and uncomfortable atmosphere that makes it hard to focus on learning. Instead of feeling like a place meant for education and growth, it often feels chaotic and tense.I used to be a student here, and I can personally say this is a terrible school. There have been more fights in one year of this school than my entirety of high school. Not to mention, the school’s inability to protect its students or willingly choosing to look the other way when a students personal and academic life is at risk is what makes this school a poor choice.I am writing this review because I have learned through my siblings that Challenger still has not changed. If you are parent, do your child a favor and avoid sending them to this school.Another small fact about Challenger Middle School is that this school was on the news for having a foundation that was cracking.

My son has been in this school 1 yrs and first year overall I thought this school was great for my son and was reassured that he would be returning, last week of vacation I received a call from the principal and was told that my son will not be returning to this school and got rejected because of insufficient credit and Detentions.... Detentions where given to my child to make up work not because he was given disciplinary action. My son has an IEP and has been on an IEP and I feel like there was discrimination in this matter. The teachers he had didn't seem to show a care for his education. My son has to attend summer school to be able to return to school so he attended and he was still rejected. This school sadly does not have the capability to work with children on an IEP and they unfortunately do not help these children they low grade them to the point my son has to come home almost crying telling me that the teachers call him stupid for not knowing some work problems.
