I am a current 8th grader at this school. Parents if you are seeing this i am not discouraging you from sending your child here, this is just my personal experience. In my 2 years at Max Abbott middle school, i have seen it all. Fights (there was one near me today actually), disrespectful students, teachers who didn’t teach, the whole nine. This year however, has brought things back that i thought i would only see in elementary school and mixed it with a shaky dress code that favors girls wearing really revealing clothing. The kids in my class are (and this is meant with no disrespect to them, i love and appreciate them, they accepted me when i thought no one would) a roller coaster to deal with. Childish humor, won’t stop talking, just not fun to be around at times. The teachers, in my very humble opinion, do way too much yelling, to the point where i believe they do it just to hear themselves yell. I mean if you have to yell at kids 25 times to stop talking and to get on task, chances are the kids don’t care and you should probably stop. I personally believe the schools administrators are great, the severity of their punishments are always fair and they do a good job at keeping the kids in check when teachers can’t. Overall, i think the school could be way better, but the bright spots are really bright. Tumultuous experience, but like i said, i’m not discouraging anyone looking to send their child here. Just be cautious.

I try my best not to interact with the staff. As long as my son is okay I'm okay.

Majority of the admin are rude and sassy and there's so many teachers that don't even like working there. The school is infested with mice and roaches and in need of renovations. Not a good choice.
