Dutchtown Middle School

If you are looking for a school that cares about your child and the parents, I highly do not recommend. The faculty could care less how they treat the parents and students. Bringing up anything to them that is not positive, will result to an attitude. I don't believe I have had any positive experiences with any of the staff, including Principal Jennifer McCrary. I have come to the school about different concerns and no solution, just shifted blame. My son is shy and they do not take the time to listen to him or help him. There are kids he complains about bullying him everyday and nothing is done about it. Not to mention the test scores here are horrendous. If you care about your child and your sanity, please go somewhere else.

When my family first came to Mt. Carmel Elementary in the early 2010s, it was a wonderful school — full of heart, great leadership, and phenomenal teachers. It truly felt like a community where kids loved to learn and families were proud to belong. My children and I loved it. Unfortunately, over the years the leadership and staff have changed, and so has the atmosphere. The current administration has taken away much of the joy, creativity, and warmth that once made this school so special. What used to be one of the most sought-after schools in the area now feels rigid and uninspired. We moved to get far away from the dictator in charge. The county is aware and turns a blind eye. Family connections, if you know what I mean. It’s disheartening to see how far the school has fallen from what it once was. I hope one day Mt. Carmel can return to being the fun, nurturing, and community-driven place it used to be.

One of the worst elementary schools! Very unorganized and very unprofessional staff. They do not care about the wellbeing of your child or their learning.

Rigorous school that sets a high standard for the students both academically and spiritually. We are very pleased and it is well worth the tuition.

This school develops strong character in its students, like integrity, compassion and respect. Outstanding academic K-12 school and staff School is amazing!!! 5stars. God bless you all.
