Deltona Middle School

The bullying and harassment at this school is on another level. Theres more drama and trauma at this school than their is at my oldest daughters high-school! The amount of stress and anxiety my daughter experienced from this school is outrageous. If it wasn't for the wonderful music teachers, I think my daughter would have wanted to go back to online school.

First day experiencing this school and was rudely approached by a parent who wanted to get violent with me all because I didn’t know where I was going. Walk my kid up to the gate while he was extremely nervous and crying, NO ONE would allow me in or at least walk him to class. They handed him back his schedule and said “I don’t know where any class is, follow the children to the 6th grade hall” then I call the school to check for a bus route, staff was extremely RUDE. So far it isn’t looking good at all, might be pulling my kid out sooner than later !!!!

Terrible. My child has come home with bruises, has been harassed sexually, amongst other things, and nothing was done. They don't communicate with parents well. It seems like the kids just run the school and teachers are either afraid, or they just allow it. My child fell very behind this past year. Failed the FSA tests for the first time ever. The teachers seem to have very low expectations. Our experience with this school has convinced me to look for alternative schooling for my kids, private or otherwise. I've lost faith in our public school system, bc of this school.

This year I know will be a tuff from coming from online school because of Covid . Only if I known how bad it would be. This year they gave pc to each student. That’s great to find out yes keep an eye on student work but do it at home if I can find it? I tracked down someone to explain where is the school work is placed then to find out that’s not the only place. Only if you can see how many apps the work can be hidden. I asked to talk to the teachers. She would not do it. Worse school year Wish I kept him online. This school got worse before this Covid closed down. What happen?

Horrible school I just can't express it enough. I feel like the students run it and the teachers are afraid. I had asked a teacher once if they give homework so I can help my child at home to improve his grades and her response was no because most don't turn it in anyways. So what about the ones who do or for the parents who want to help thier kids. I mean who are the adults here. If a child does wrong they are quick to suspend them, well for most of them that is not a punishment but a way for the school to temporarily get rid of the problem. Call the parent request abmeeting use tge guidance councelor. I didn't know my son had all those referrals until about the 17th one. He did not have any last year. This school is awful in communicating with parents. I only had 1 teacher come forward to let me know he was failing. Why wait for a child to be failing when we could have started a few months prior. I found out in the 2nd marking period they have tutoring available because I brought it up. Having four F's didn't raise up the flags. This is my son's first year here and hopefully I can send him somewhere else next year.
