Dr. John Long Middle School

This is our first year and my child is in kindergarten. We moved from a State where the only option was private school and they expected perfection from babies. That being said my child has excelled here. She is academically doing well and has finally found her place. For my child the environment and rewards system they use for behavior has been wonderful. They also seem to understand that kids will be kids but take the right things seriously. Everyone on staff I have encountered has been very pleasant and seem to really like being there. PTA also seems very involved and I would almost equate them to what I have seen in private settings which says something. We have many years to go but hopefully my child will continue to grow at this school.

I feel like my son should be able to do anything he wants. I don’t know why he gets punished for saying and doing what he feels.

Students at this school are not safe. Teachers and administrators put their hands on children and verbally abuse them. When mistreatment is reported, administrators do nothing because they protect the teachers instead of the students.If you care about your child’s mental health, do not send your child to this school. I don’t care how many fake or made-up reviews they post or how often they brag about being an “A” school. This is one of the worst public schools my child has ever attended.It’s probably also why they removed the Google reviews section so parents can’t see what’s really going on here.

I feel that this school pushes gender identity to a unhealthy point and I find it not right for very young children

This is the only elementary school in the district that offers band, which has been a wonderful opportunity for students. The school feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. The staff and teachers are hardworking, dedicated, and truly care about their students’ growth and success. There is a strong sense of community, and it’s clear the school is committed to giving kids a well-rounded education. We are very grateful for the support and opportunities our children have received here.
