Read what parents are saying about Russell Middle SchoolWe have a 7th grader at Russell Middle School. We have been so pleased with his experience at Russell, both this year and last year. As an employee at a different school district, we could easily choice our students elsewhere but we will continue to choose to send our kids to Russel, our neighborhood school. The school feels like a small community, my student knows teachers and staff at all different grade levels. The smaller size of this schools allows for time and space for the adults to make great connections with the kids. If we do have any questions or concerns, the staff members we reach out to have always been very responsive and caring. This is a great place to be a student.
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2023Russell Middle School is truly a special school. I have a current 6th grader who thoroughly enjoys Russell...which speaks volumes (middle school can be such rough time for some). The teachers are caring, respectful, and strive to challenge the kids academically. The support staff engages with and assists the kiddos. The administration is phenomenal and always is available to listen to not only suggestions but concerns as well. Everyone is seeking how to make a positive impact on these kids! The extracurricular activities and sports are something our student embraces and loves as well (the coaches are the best!)
Posted by a parent on 2/11/2023Students at this school are given so many opportunities to explore their interests and are assisted by helpful and wonderful staff.
Posted by a community member on 2/8/2023I have sent 3 students to Russell. They all have had a great experience. It's a positive atmosphere from staff and students. They had a lot of opportunities especially within the performing arts.
Posted by a parent on 2/8/2023The teachers at Russell are professional, dedicated, and friendly. My kids have excelled in every aspect of their lives at Russell. The academic program is great, the music program is top notch, and the extracurricular activities are fun and engaging for the kids. I highly recommend it!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had kids at King for 8 years now! It is a gem of a school - a real hidden treasure in D11. We have fantastic teachers, warm and inviting environment and a wonderful atmosphere for kids to thrive. We have been fortunate to go to this school for so many years- we recommend it to all!Parent Review3mo ago - Martinez Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTo be fair and clear I am providing this feedback on several teachers who are teaching 3rd grade. Principal is attempting to be supportive but the school is struggling. School is understaffed. The size of my son's classroom is 27 kids and his teacher is incapable of establishing instructional control over the classroom. There are several kids in the class who are on some sort of a support plan but leave early so teacher is not required to have assistant. My son has been receiving only one page math homework for about half of his year and no other study materials besides being told to read and go over 10 spelling words. Teacher majorly failed at every aspect of communication with me and the only time she would communicate was to notify me that my son's behaviors has been progressing (without telling me a full story). We are hoping for better forth grade and better teacher but if that does not happen we plan on switching schools. The only thing that is holding me back from changing schools is my son begging me not to leave his friends.Parent Review1y ago - Pikes Peak Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is not very inclusive towards more introverted or shy students. Teachers show favoritism towards certain students that are more popular. There was several events of bullying where the teachers just seemed to not care or intervene. The school isn’t great for kids with social differences or for kids that don’t fit the “popular” cliche. Teachers on several instances couldn’t calm the class down and the kids were loud/disrespectful. The teachers would be quite aggressive towards certain students doing one thing other students wouldn’t get in trouble for.Other Review3mo ago
