awful. terrible. repulsive. nasty. disgusting. unnerving. sickening.

Ctms is a good enough middle school with some caveats that need to be addressed by the school:- for the most part, teachers are great Chisholm. There are exceptions, mostly with coaches forced to teach (some, not all)- vice principal support is strong and grade level focused- the principal is VERY focused on athletics, especially football. His weekly emails/video updates focus 90% on athletics. Academic achievement rarely gets called out and if it does, it is not nearly with the same enthusiasm as with athletics. Even within athletics, football takes the main stage. Other sports take a back seat. School social media is also very football focused - it is well known within the school that certain teachers will always give football players passing grades in order to participate in football games. This is very disheartening to students who put in the effort. This privilege is used as a brag by football players. - certain history teachers don’t even try to teach kids and have a “reputation” among students.- on the plus side, the school put a no phone usage policy in place this year which was a fantastic moveIf the school could give as much focus/praise to academics as they do to athletics, the student culture would be much better. The hierarchy created by the principal is disappointing. Again, not a bad school, just an easy opportunity to change the culture away from football focus only.

This school does not at all take bullying seriously. My sister has come home nearly every day upset about this kid continuously pushing her and making rude/offensive comments. After about 6 months when someone did something about this, the kid only had to write an apology letter. No real punishment for 6 months of bullying. Insane.
