Shields Middle School

I love this school so much. What an amazing place to learn.

The school does not keep soap in the bathroom so the kids can wash there hands I am always telling them they need soap it's been a week since the bathroom had soap an now there are on one road of toilet tissue an have a little paper towels n the bathroom when the kids come n from playing outside there is no hand sanitizer in the lunch room for about a month it's own the second month of school an there is no soap n the bathroom so the kids have to eat there food with dirty hands they can not get no hand sanitizer from the lunch room you have kids and adults dieting from different virus they the best thing is to keep your hands wash you can not do that with no soap an sanitizer

Espero que ahora la próxima directora no vea la escuela como un buen negoció y ahora si se preocupen por los niños, maestros, padres y la comunidad

First, I liked to say that James Shields School is the best elementary school ever. Second, to the parent who complained about the school on April 27,2012, you don't know Shields as much as us (the students). Have you ever attended that school? No, so why are you complaining? You should be thankful your daughter has an education. I learned a lot from that school and they had always helped me. Not to mention, I got a $2,000 scholarship to Manchester University because of Shields. Mr. Kazz ,the music teacher at shields, has taught students the skills necessary to perform music. Since 6th grade I've been playing music and was in Advanced band all four years of high school. I had schools coming to me offering me more music scholarships to go to their school. Shields did that, they helped me with everything I needed. Maybe you should stop complaining and help your daughter a little more, Just saying.

great staff, good leadership, parent mentor program helps parents become more involved in their childs education and children get the added support they need to be successful and want to learn.

I feel that this is an excellent school. I have raised my children in this neighborhood since 1991 when the school opened for 1-8th graders. My 4th and last child graduates this year. She's been an honor student with high test scores, like my other 3 (3rd child away at college now on scholarships).Every school can be improved, even the high score ones & I feel this school needs to listen not only to the parents but get feed back from the children (which they don't do).The after school programs are excellent. My child is in their band program, funded by a large grant used for more instruments, individual lessons & more instructors.Carson has homework help, after-school tutoring, dance & sports, along with constant new educational programs that have been introduced to the kids learning environment. I'll admit the staff sometimes lacks in bedside manners & sometimes even commonsense,but they are after all human & I'm sure they'll work on their disposition and attentiveness towards parental concerns. But for the most part this is a very good (and so-far, safe) school for my child's education & well being. A parent shouldn't be upset with 1 teacher and down rate the whole school for it.

Its a really good school, my 2 boys has been there since Preeschool and has been an amazing experience as a parent and for them to. Also there is the option of half or full day for the preschoolers. The staff is friendly and teachers are caring, respectfull and the kids learn based in catholic faith.

The uniform policy is very strict. The recess teachers always complained. The teachers are either kind or have a terrible attitude. Teh counselors don’t really care about students mental health. Also the lunch looks unedible.
