We have found some great teachers (especially the honors and AP ones) at this school but the administration part is pretty terrible. I've had some negative experiences with the office staff and parents and students aren't made to feel welcome. Additionally my kid has been bullied and nothing was done about the issue (my teenager was caught on camera half dressed while changing for PE class for one example). I hope the school can turn things around but I'm not too hopeful. My child will graduate soon and has good friends there is the only reason we haven't moved schools.

Public schools are given bad reputations because of schools like this one. Stockbridge Middle School lacks the basics needed to provide a safe and secure environment for children to learn. I said children because that is what they are, they are not young adults, they are not leaders, they are children. The administration is a joke. They have no real resources available to them to implement better measures for education and safety, and they do not use their voices to fight for these causes. They know exactly what they need and don't know how to obtain it. REMOVE THE CELLULAR DEVICES FROM THE SCHOOLS, ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES FOR DISRUPTION, AND ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING. If you decide to visit the school, you will not be greeted warmly or welcoming at all. You are a burden to them. Students do not go to school to learn anymore; this is a social gathering and free daycare. If you pick any classroom to audit, you will find 1. overcrowded classrooms with poor ratios of students to teachers, 2. 60% of the students are being disruptive in some matter, 3. of the 40% that remain half of those have given up on even paying attention, due to the disruption of the other kids, 4. the remaining 20% of students are either really smart and don't require much guidance, and or teachers' favorites. The majority of fights occur in the bathrooms and or cafeteria. They know this, so why not monitor these areas during higher exposure times like lunchtime? Fights that occur in classrooms are 100% preventable if the teacher is paying attention to the students instead of just spitting information to the oblivious. These are teachers that just show up to work- because they know the administration that supports them has no backbone to implement actual consequences.

Hate is such a strong word to use, but I hate this school!! The teachers and principals do not care one bit about these students. The older kids ridiculously misbehave and use curse words regularly throughout the day. When the younger kids tell nothing is done. I’ve requested a class change for my child who is constantly getting bullied and has been denied. Contacted the BOE and still hasn’t received my call back. The principal needs to do better with taking care of the students that are not being treated fairly and the teachers need to stop ignoring everything and running their mouths in the hallway during class time instead of watching the students. If possible pick another school because this school is the worst in Henry county.
