Eagle Nest Middle School

Teachers bring their personal lives into the classroom, they curse at students, allow students to curse, they provide inappropriate reading material to the students, call students derogatory names because they want to join the military. It was not a good environment for my kids.

It is truly incredible what has been accomplished at such a small school. The principal's enthusiasm is contagious and very positive. How many public schools have horseback riding, ice skating, and a fish hatchery? This one does. Fantastic school.

Some of the teacher even bring their personal problems into the students lives' and it great affects the learning-atmosphere. They have a 'zap' system that functions by giving students a 'zap' for breaking one of the rules. If a student gets three zaps, its a detention. Students get zaps for chewing gum, not being quiet in the cafeteria, and sometimes for expressing opinions. The 'zap' system is highly ineffective and, most (if not all) students continue with the rule breaking. In the lunchroom, the students are not allowed to talk or eat their lunch until the supervising teacher say they can. I'm not saying that it is a terrible school, just that it has some substantially big issues.
