We have one of the best principals!!! Our teachers are amazing!!!!! I'd highly recommend Strathern to everyone who has a child of elementary age. More parents to get involved with the school activities.

This school has a great staff that cares deeply about the future success of all students. Students can learn the skills necessary to compete and thrive in a 21st Century global economy.

So, I would've give two stars for effort but the reason I'm giving three stars are because of the people I've met (like friends). Most teachers don't really encourage you, they just instruct you and if they do encourage you it'll most of the time be in a rude way you know? I've actually heard some teachers say stuff like "You're going to fail in life if you can't do math." I have to say though, there are those teachers who are chill. But it's a very few quantity. I recently met the magnet coordinator, he's really nice! So is Ms. Amesola. You can tell she really tries to interact and make everybody feel welcome and comfortable inside her amazing classroom. I'm sure there are some I haven't met yet though. There are lots of fights. Kids are always doing suspicious things in the bathrooms. Please have more staff around there. I hate going in there and having a such awful, strong, smell going inside my nostrils (and no I'm not talking about those NORMAL type of bathroom smells.) To know that people around my age find that to be their only escape is sad. I feel bad because most of us come from very difficult home lives and sometimes we have no one to talk to at home. School is basically our second home and should feel like one. Yes. there are counselors kids can go to but I know that most feel that's not an option. The school really needs to interact more. There are classes I've had where we're expected to learn by only watching videos in class. Without any interactivity. Many of us start to fall asleep after a while of trying to memorize every single thing without help. We sometimes still pass because the answers are most of the time given to us by the instructors. I know this knowledge connects to more knowledge in high school yet we can't have it. These are things we're supposed to know already. I'd encourage you to study it on your own if you can, I'm sorry if you have to do that. It really shouldn't feel like you're the only one you can count on. But please don't over exhaust yourself. Dedicate time to yourself too and find things you like. Discover yourself. This is your life, mind, body, and soul. You're in control. Never forget that. You don't find destiny. You make it. As for me, I'll spend my last year in middle school with authenticity and making the most of it because I know I'll never be thirteen again. Oh and please don't worry about love right now. Trust me, it's not time yet haha. Build strong bonds instead.

I still love and have loved this school. I would do any thing in my power to help any student ( especially in the music department and or math) in their endeavors in life. Dan L. Class of 1959.

I went to drop off some flowers and balloons for valentiens day to my daughter since she's been doing great at school. But the principal Cheryl Bloom was rude and unprofessional and didn't let me drop them of. I work 16 hours a day and had a 1 hour window to drop off and show moral support as any great parent would do for our kids made me feel like it was a crime to show my daughter love especially on valentines day
