Standley Middle School

I like being at Standley Middle and think it is a good school, but the people (mostly students) are just not fun to be around. There is A LOT of heavy swearing. Not to mention the occasional fight we hear about (I have never personally been in or seen a fight, but I have heard about them). There is also some "bullying," although it is mostly just mocking/making fun on other students. An example of this is when I was in the boys' locker room and right as we were all about to leave to our next period, an older boy sat on me while I was sitting on a bench and another boy, who was behind me, sprayed a load of what was probably Axe Body Spray on my back. I wouldn't consider that bullying, as it was mostly a joke, but I still didn't appreciate it. Although the people aren't the best, the teachers are very focused on learning, while still managing to sneak in some fun activities.

The school is absolutely horrible. Not only is there around seven big fights every week, but the principal does nothing about it. Death threats, threats, and bullying is the norm here. Unless you’re a quiet kid who can stay away from this horrible stuff, your chance of getting “jumped” is high. The school food is just barely getting standards, and you are extremely lucky if you get a good teacher. Would not recommend for your child.

It's ok at most. The teachers are means except a select few. The food is horrible and does not look but to standards. most homework is unnecessary. they only have Spanish classes which is expected at most schools but with the funding of this school, I expected more options. It is an outdoor school meaning you must walk outside to get to your next class. I thought this was cool when I first got here but now it's proving more problems further into the school year. The weather is bad and we are forced to walk in the rain risking damage to most supplies. Including the computer which costs $100 to repair.

This school has fine learning but just really bad punishments I mean there was a crowd of people looking at whats going on in the problem and the teachers look at it as encouragement to interviene the problem and they punished us which are like not moving no library time no basketball and no staying in the bathroom they could have warned us and its not like this happened the first time and they could have seen tat nobody got hurt and stuff it doesn't make sense its just dumb and common sense to realize what actually happened.

We had one fight and made everyone sit so no one could wander around and would not recommend it, some teachers are good but most are bad. There is at least a fight every school year.
