My children attended this school previously, and my review is based on this experience. First, I will begin with the positives. I feel that the majority of the teachers at this school are very passionate about their jobs as educators. They try very hard to keep their students engaged which can be a daunting process with large class sizes and what sometimes feels like no guidance and support from the district and admin. Also, I was very happy and surprised with the amount of parent involvement that occurred at the campus. Parents were allowed to help and volunteer their time to help the teachers and the students feel supported. The fundraising and volunteer opportunities that did occur were engaging and the money was spent on the campus. However, there were many negative experiences that occurred to my children while attending this school. Bullying is very much a large problem at this school, and there is no support from the campus. My children experienced instances of emotional, verbal and even physical abuse on the campus. Investigations were done and reports, and findings per district policy did not nothing to keep this from happening spanning over years, in regards to the emotional and verbal abuse, and in regards to the physical , this investigation did nothing. We are currently homeschooling our children wholly from the trauma that they had inflicted upon them day after day at this school. It is now hard for them to trust that they will be safe and supported in a school environment. The thought of them going back in the the public school system fills them with anxiety. There is no real communication between the school and parents, and I , as a parent, felt completely unsupported and powerless as well. Sadly, Rivercrest has the opportunity to be a great school, but falls very much short of the bar.

This school is nice and big, but some of my teachers know the subject they are teaching, they just don't know how to teach it to people who have no clue at what they're doing. The lunch is terrible and it looks like it was bought at kroger and heated up in the oven. The students are okay, some of them can be mean and judgmental but some can be nice. The dress code is weird. (No pajamas, slippers, blankets, and no crop tops.) Are we supposed to wear some jeans and a nice shirt?? sweatpants that even look close to pajamas. Dress coded.

I have had great time at Bon Lin Middle School. I highly recommend it
