traffic rules suck the principles do too they disrespect the students they take ur phone and go through it without permission saying they have suspect you have something bad they search you for being off area just doesn’t make sense

So. 1, learning. I love science, but ever since I got here, I have not learned a thing about it, and the things I am taught here never end up on the quiz. Teachers make the material hard to understand, and it seems like you are only supposed to learn at home with how much homework they assign. I am told it gets better, but my mother always comments on how much more homework I have than she had when she went to school. Next- special education. I don't know about how these students' classes go, all I know is that as a normal class track student, I never see them other than fundraisers they do. Next, teaching. Many teachers are just there to do that, teach. Not help you understand the topic, just present it and move on, not help you memorize or understand. Teachers force you into their style of notes and drop your grade if you don't do it exactly how you want (with a few exceptions.) As for the homework thing, I have a new delta math assignment every 1 or 2 days. The curriculums were not built to be able to stand a few days off, which are bound to happen. Safety- Fights happen all the time. I myself have witnessed 4 full out fights front hand, but I have heard of so many more. The bullying problem Is so bad, people are afraid of expressing themself in style, art, or otherwise. It's like this school is forcing you into a non physical uniform. Wear it, and If you wear it wrong, you are punished. Social-Emotional support- I have a very tight knit friend group whom I try to stick with, but at certain instances teachers get mad when I try to stay with somebody I am comfortable with, and after asking to not be put next to somebody (who hates me and I am uncomfortable with) during a seat change, the very next seat change I was put with them. Family engagement- What is there to say? I am too stuck up in my room writing stupid pointless essays instead of being with out familyDo not recommend.

The staff of Middlesettlements are not only wonderful with the children, they actually care about the education and well-being of the child. Their core values are in line with what one would expect from most private schools. To teach the child the basics of education is one thing, but the staff of MSE takes it a step further to teach the children the necessary life skills to become successful in every way. Admittedly in the beginning of my son's educational experience I was a little apprehensive about sending him to MSE as I am from a private educational background, however, those apprehensions were quickly laid to rest. I have no regrets as to sending my son to Middlesettlements. He has just graduated fifth grade and has grown intellectually and morally during his time there due to the support from the principal and staff. A huge thanks to everyone there.
