Del City Middle School

Absolutely the worst school, i was threatened and my mother was never called. The students bully the others severely and admin and teachers do nothing. Do not bring your kids here. DO NOT TRUST THIS SCHOOL.

My child went to this school for years K-3. While Kindergarten was a great year, the subsequent three years were awful. My child had a new teacher for 1-3 (brand new to the school or fresh out of college). None of these teachers could maintain control of the classroom and was complete chaos from the very beginning (one teacher cried daily for the first month). Despite parent’s calls to leadership to support the teachers, it fell on deaf ears. From 2022-2025, they’ve had 3 principals and a handful of vice principals. They don’t have a PTA, they don’t sell yearbooks, there’s not much of an incentive to participate in the one crappy fundraiser they do once per year. The gifted and talented program is a joke and there were several times they didn’t even show up. I had to supplement A LOT at home. To the point that we didn’t have time for any extracurriculars.One time my child was placed between two children that were arguing with each other in STEM class to try and discourage them from fighting. One kid decided to punch the other little boy and my child (a girl) was caught in the crossfire and clocked in the jaw. The boy was never made to apologize, was not suspended, no discipline whatsoever. I won’t even get into the incident where my child’s arm was broken on the playground at recess. Parents need to stay on top of the teachers, leadership and school board if you want anything positive out of this school. In our experience, it was a nightmare.

I have children that have now went through Ridgecrest Elementary Pre-K through 5th grade and I am extremely disappointed in how many of the teachers do not teach. They rely solely on computers to teach our children. Hardly any pen to paper learning. I have a child in 5th grade at Ridgecrest Elementary and they are failing him he is on an IEP and his teacher in my opinion relies solely on read this on your computer and answer the questions or we'll watch a video and then you can get on your computer and answer the questions my son does not have the confidence to ask questions and even after December she should know that by now and something else should be planned on how to better help him as an educator that I as a parent have exhausted All odds at home with trying to help him.
