College View Middle School

I am a recently graduated student at this middle school as of 2 years ago and I can honestly say that this school made me the person I am today. This school builds leadership skills, the willingness to learn and an overall healthy outlook on life.

I am NOT surprised about the rating! pretty much sums the environment up. If it comes to prepare the kids for Highschool, which in my opinion a middle school should do, they lack a lot! in all 3 years the amount of homework my now 8th grader has gotten is less then what my 2nd grader has. The tests are being re taken a lot which I find ridiculous , because no child ever learned from making everything right. There are a few good teachers in Math, Science and social studies, but that is just a handful! There are also not enough Clubs or at least they aren't advertised enough? Unfortunately the Robotics was canceled due to the teacher retiring years ago. The Spanish is a joke, it was a really good class back in 2015, but again, the awesome teacher retired! For 3 years my kid couldn't try out for the soccer team, because this school has the great idea of scheduling tryouts during summer break, making it impossible for families who actually use that break to visit families or having a great time with their kids! My kiddo tells me about kids taking drugs and drinking and I don't believe that the staff isn't aware of that problem! I guess there are better Middle schools in Town!

Teachers show strong preference to their own children over other students who exhibit better behavior and excellent grades. Their children receive Student of the Month and the Exemplary Behavior Award even though their children show far from exemplary behavior.

We moved our child to this school, what a mistake. Straight As and no disciplinary action is not good enough! Involvement in multiple extra curricular activities, not enough! Awards that are not earned but rather given based on politics is not acceptable. We will not be back next year!

Its a pretty good school, but my child said the food is horrible. Also, the teachers seem mean. The orchestra program is great. Otherwise, its a good school.
