This school is actually not too bad. After reading many other reviews, I have seen how many parents/guardians see this school. However, as a 7th grade student I share a different view. The teachers aren't too bad, though they give a lot of homework and become pretty prickly towards the end of the year. Their view starts to shorten towards the end just like the students. Though many teachers give very big and hard assignments at the same time with only 2 days to complete them. And though I understand that teachers have lives outside of school, so do the students. I have many after school activities to juggle and the amount and length of the schoolwork does not help. Though I must cut some teachers some slack, they aren't all bad. Many teachers have readied me for high school and they all leave some sort of lasting impact on my learning. There are fights and bullying incidents generally often, but they never get too out of hand. The staff are pretty good with catching the fights early, keeping kids away, and intercepting the fights. Bullying isn't really treated as a priority, and though they constantly wave the no bullying flag, when it is reported it is kind of shunned. Though this is only my personal experience. The school is a bit obsessed with the idea of both ethnic and sexual orientation diversity. Though even as a white female, I have been bullied for my race before, and I have seen others be bullied for the same reason. If you took the time to read this review, I sincerely thank you for listening to my personal story and experience at Mayfield Woods.

This school is a joke not a school. I don’t know how it even scores 6 out of 10. It’s maximum score shouldn’t exceed 2 out of 10.My son studies there and we are waiting for school year ti end as soon as possible. Because of this school we will have to move out of our home because it is IMPOSSIBLE to go forward with this school. Although they have very few good teachers (math, geography) most of others are always absent with different reasons and classes are being substituted by different teachers who don’t care at all. Every single day slap competitions in toilets, bullying each other… terrible demographic causes terrible discipline in MWMS. No principle, no counselors even care about the kids (probably they are exhausted too, I don’t know). Bit as a parent mu advice keep your kid away from this school. He/she will learn only vulgarity and cheap behavior. This school is NOT able to positively contribute your kid’s life. All schools have problematic kids but this school is FULL of them.

They have some good teachers but most of all they don’t care bout the children the staff sucks meanly the principal and counselors. If they put more attention into the kids in helping them achieve to be successful then the kids would want to come to school and have more teachers that want to teach and not just there to get a pay check it would be a better school the children just do what every they want. they minus well be running the school. They need 85% of new staff. The office staff are nice and helpful besides the principal that never ever Kind bout kids and she and the counselors like to cover up a lot of things that go on at mayfield woods middle school. Had three kids to attend this school and this has been the all time worst school year ever 2021-2023

Though there have been some inconveniences with child safety in the past week, I am pleased to give both the positive and negative atributes of this school. Let me begin with the front office secretaries, they are very helpful, always eager to help parents like me out, and reflect a great gratuity towards the school's colleagues. Teachers, most teachers are helpful and have a significant amount of care for their students. Though not all teachers are super lovely in this facility most are and have great respect for their students. The academic curriculum is also very well organized and explains a lot if the students decide to care for it. It is very understanding and well-organized. The student services team in this school is just PHENOMENAL they are always there for students and have a great way to get to their students. The Special Education for students in need of Special Education is great, they treat their Special kids with dignity and are understanding of their needs. The safety and Family engagement of this school is just OK, their are definatley ways of improvement in both areas to make it better. Overall its a great, inclusive school where places of improvement are needed but is great.

I love this school. I am in high school now, but I went here last year and I miss it so much. Many say it's not a good school but I loved everything about it. They gave a lot of homework but it was worth it because it really helped in high school.
