Read what parents are saying about Derby Middle SchoolSo far my Son's experience this year has not been very good. He's being bullied on the bus and in school. Also, the women in the front office are extremely rude. If I had another option, he wouldn't attend this school.
Posted by a parent on 9/19/2022The Derby Middle School has been filled with opportunities for my son. He competed with the Scholars Bowl Team, football and now wrestling. He has been given the opportunity to take advanced English classes and algebra as a 7th grader. Currently, he is taking Teen Leadership classes that he is really enjoying. We are preparing for a move to IL, and one of his teachers voluntarily stepped up to help with the transition to ensure he is placed in the correct classes in his new school. We have just found Derby to be a place that we loved to call home and most of that feeling centered on our involvement with the kids school.
Posted by a parent on 2/10/2014I absolutely love derby. I've gone here for about 1and 1/2 years now, and yes there is bullying buy you have to understand. It happens at every school . The teachers can be difficult, but the people that get told they didn't listen the first time didn't. My teachers have always been there for their students. And even if they weren't they have 2 great counselors that I have talked to about many things. One of them is really good with 'drama" and they other is great with family things . You will never be bored here because there are many things to do. They also have a great Special-Education program. I am a teacher's aid in there and the kids are all friendly. The teacher isn't my favorite but the two para's are very helpful and balance it out. Either way, you must really consider Derby as a good school . A lot of people who have post have only had bad experiences. Yes, there are mean teachers . EVERYBODY has them . But my favorite is that they have a 'turkey feather' contest where we raise money for people at our school to have Thanksgiving. It really is great. GO DERBY BULLDOGS!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf your child has any sort of disability this is not the school to go to. They are horrible to work with. The front office staff comes across as rude and very uninviting. I have never been so disappointed in a school!Parent Review10y ago - Pleasantview Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSwaney is a great school!! It still has a little of that "Old Derby" feel, the way things used to be, in all the good ways! I went to Swaney in the 70s and a lot of its small-town charm remains. They still tape the class rosters and "who got which teacher" on the glass a few days before school . I remember going up there and reading the results by our car's headlights. On "Meet the Teacher" night, the principal greeted all of us warmly as we entered the building. This Saturday, there is a "Rock the Block" party just as a back to school event! There will be bounce houses, a DJ, games, food trucks, and a special Glow in Dark event in the gym!! Teachers, parents, and students are down-to-earth, and just look at those test scores! I am so happy my kids go here!Other Review7y ago - Tanglewood Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA child affected by ADHD or alone or with co-occurring conditions (learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum) is more likely to be suspended from this school than a child without those conditions. Sending one of kids home is only reliving the teacher and not focusing on him. Students sent home is allowing him to think he can leave whenever things get rough for him and not learning moment for him. Sending him home is not helping. A teacher keeps taking away a his recess as punishment OFTEN. First, kids with ADHD are the kids who need recess the most. Second, taking recess away as punishment is not effective. Taking away a child’s recess as punishment is detrimental to students. Play and recess have value. No, I wouldn't recommend this school.Parent Review11mo ago - St Mary Parish Catholic School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe staff and faculty at this school truly care and get to know the families that attend. This school raises its students in the Catholic faith and promotes a good learning environment. Many students that attend go on to be very successful, as the school encourages the pursuit of further knowledge.Other Review7y ago
