Read what parents are saying about Silver Sands Middle School
I went here one year in 2021/2022. The kids were rude, toxic, and unaccepting and from what I’ve heard from students who still go there they still are. When I went there, there were always fights and many kids harassed others while the teachers nor the kids did anything about it. The staff was terrible and the teachers didn’t do anything about the bullying going on in their classrooms but the academic parts weren’t that bad. If you reported anything to the office they didn’t do anything about it or if they did the student who got in trouble still continued their bad behavior.

worst school ever not recommend, 1 they do nothing about bullying 2, they keep restricting games including COOL MATH GAME!!!!! like wth 3, teachers bully students if you ask a teacher they'll probably say they make fun of kids and 4. every one lacks kindness including teachers.hope it gets shut down make sure that your kid doesn't go there no matter what.

Bully me not!!! This school is full of bullying and vapes… when are they going to do something about it? 3 of the 7 teachers my son has don’t care it even happens in class.. I’ve witness lots of parents pull their kids out for bullying as well…. This school needs a super attendant to step in…. Come on Volusia county what’s going on? You can make all the reports you want and talk to all the administrators you want it doesn’t stop and they don’t do nothing about it. Horrible school… when my daughter went there 6 years ago it was the best school matter fact it was an A school, now it’s ratings I’m sure have dropped tremendously… I give them an F. Do not bring your kids here you will be very disappointed.

Hi there, not a parent, but a student who is currently going to silver sands who is very concerned. Ever sense ive been going there ive been bullied for how i dress and for not liking to talk to people. I get called a school shooter and a drug dealer because i am the quiet kid who just so happens to be more on the "emo" side. (I have messy black hair and usually wear skinny jeans, a hoodie, and eyeliner every day so i guess they have a point on the emo thing.) And the teachers dont stop any of this from happening. In fact, most of the teachers join in on it. Ive walked in the halls before and had teachers yell "oh no here comes the emos" or "the my chemical romance reunion is the other way" at me just because of how i dress. Nobody would ever say that to anybody outside of the school system, but its somehow acceptable in school. Ive also had teachers lower my grades because they dont like me and have videos, screenshots, and graded papers to prove it. I was also once jumped by 7 people at P.E and was kicked in the head, told to go kill myself, and got my headphones stolen and thrown over the fence. The staff did nothing. They also dresscode you over everything. One time i got dresscoded for a zip up jacket that had the Misfits skull on it. No blood, no guns, no gang symbols, just the skull and the Misfits logo. Apparently skulls are too violent even though a kid came to school with a sweater with guns and a devil holding up the middle finger, and thats fine. And i was told that i have t role my jacket sleeves up all the time because the staff was convinced that because i listen to "emo" music and dress "emo" that i cut myself. Nobody else had to do this. Just me. I also got in trouble for wearing skeleton fingerless gloves for the same reason. Once again, you wouldnt do or say this to anybody outside lf school, so why is it okay in school? Why is fights acceptable only in school? The only other place where you see fights like the ones here is in prison. They treat us like we are in prison. And whenever i tried to do anything about the bullying, i got told that theres nothing they can do because of how many people who where bullying me. Please do not send your kid to this school. For their safety ad their mentality. I have to go to therapy now because of the disgusting people at this school. No wonder i dont like talking to them. This school is terrible and needs to change.
