Monroe Middle School

My family and I love this school. The administration and teachers have always cared for us with excellence. #TigerFamily

This school is getto and dangerous, if you care about your child’s growth and well being do NOT send them here.

i am a current student of this school, and have been attending this school for a number of years. I came to this school because i was bullied at my old school and my parents thought a private school that held christian values would better my school experience. However, it was anything but. it didn't take long after i arrived at tabernacle for the bullying to begin, and me as a 5th grader was so very confused by this. i thought me coming to a school that worships and makes the lord a main part of their everyday school life should know that you are to love and respect everyone, no matter how different or "weird" they may seem.though all of this was going on I had a few teachers who were always there for me and i felt as if though I could trust them. fast forward a few years, I'm now in high school. over the past two or three years the school, I felt, has stopped caring. you couldn't go a day without hearing someone being made fun of, whether it be because of their culture or a disability they may have. everyday you would hear numerous racial/ offensive terms being used. And as someone who has disabled family members and hearing these children with no respect one-soever insult and make fun of these disability it was honestly heartbreaking, I can imagine a child who has a condition that may set them apart, coming to this school for a new start and to learn about God , only to be ridiculed and relentlessly made fun of by classmates. Another issue this school faces is the preaching method. Yes, I have learned so many great values and morals from these lessons, but there's another side to it. the side that only focuses on hating people who are not Christian. one of the biggest points in the bible is to love everyone. if your goal is to be more Christ like, that doesn't mean hate people who don't have the same beliefs as you, it means to love them, despite the fact you believe something different. we, as sinners, don't have the right to tell people what is right and what is wrong. we may have the bible to base off of but we are still sinners who make mistakes. though I've had many good experiences at this school and yes I've met lifelong friends here, I can't overlook the fact I've had a less than exceptional time here. another thing I'd like to note, if you are sending your child here that has an impairment of any kind, think again. they will be made fun of, and teachers will sit idly by, as student get no repercussions .
