Monhagen Middle School

The school board of education should really get involved, this school is the worst- something needs to be done ASAP get rid of this administration- no good for the district. The amount of taxes I am paying and my kid cannot get a good education. Most of the kids in this school are below average compare to other schools. Teachers are horrible the kid that is getting bullied all the time by other students always get picked on and bullied by the teachers, and they are wondering why these kids are not doing well. Every morning I have to take my child to school because she is afraid, these teachers need to understand the way you treat these kids in the classroom, the other students are watching and will bully them because of the teachers reaction. I will not stop and Albany must hear this- clean the school - this administration is not good for the district, you can't have someone running an organization and every time things are going wrong and that administration is not held accountable. How many times we are going to hear in the news that children are getting hurt in this school, we entrusted our kids to this school, their job is the make sure that our kids are safe while under their care. Shame, Shame Shame. Get rid of this administration and the staffs they are no good for the district. This school be in the news for positive not all the time for children getting hurt, these poor innocent kids don't deserve this. Other countries are watching!! Shame on this district-

I recently “graduated” from Monhagen this year. The main problem is the environment in the school. Students fight and argue regularly which isnt properly taken care of from the administration. Select security guards dont do their jobs properly either ( hanging out with the delinquents ). The teacher are a great aspect of the school though. They make the learning environment fun and welcoming. I’ve made great connections with many of them!! I have also learned lots of things from them from the last 3 years. Overall, I would recommend Monhagen but students have to be cautious of their surroundings. They also shouldn't start fights and get to class quickly.

My experience at the school is really mixy so much drama and a toxic environment .. do know if you would want to come

I worked for monhagen middle school for 4 years and I no longer work there due to the toxic work environment. The main problem this school has is its administration, the principal and dean of students do not do their job and let the students run the building. There are little to no consequences for student behaviors and when a student does receive a consequence it is not appropriate for the action. As of recently students have been bringing in dangerous objects and controlled substances including vape pens and alcohol. The students have no respect for the adults because the administration does not respect their faculty. Teachers are constantly put down and criticized for what they do and admin only looks for the negatives. As a former teacher I also did not feel safe in the building due to student behaviors. I was a teacher that moved between classrooms and on a daily basis I would get shoved into walls. I also witnessed fights almost every day and multiple times a day. If you can avoid sending your child to Monhagen I would advise it and I would suggest against considering this building for employment.

My 11 yo daughter is being bullied so bad she doesn't wanna go omto school anymore, period. No one does anything about it. Theres a fight everyday even on the bus. Horrible school.
