Moultrie Middle School

I do not recommend sending your child here if you treasure their mental health. Bullying is incredibly common and I rarely see anything done about it. The food here is also awful. I have received over four spoiled mild and the food is often inedible. The standard for students is completely set by other students and is unfair. You are bullied if you dress different, identify different (LGBTQIA+), or even act different. This school has ruined my self-image and I have changed so much about myself and have so many personal issues I deal with now it’s crazy to me. I’ve heard that I do horrible things to myself from others that I don’t even know, not to mention getting involved with drama that I never interacted with. I have been followed outside of campus by students who make fun of me in school. I have also been humiliated as a way of bullying by many students. Long story short, I and many of my friends have been treated terribly here. Don’t get me wrong, there are many amazing teachers who I would love to have again. However, the school system is also terrible. Grading is another story, but the amount of homework assigned is burdening for someone as young as me (11-14). The teachers often forbid students from going to the bathroom for no good reason other than “I’m teaching.” I appreciate the fact that you are allowed to visit a counselor at any time, but often the counselors treat us as lower beings. There are several articles online about this. I do not mean any ill feelings toward the counselors, but some of them act like a simple apology from a student that has done horrible things to me will solve the issue and did not consider my feelings about being stuck in the same room as them. Overall, I think mental health should be a huge priority here as many students have resorted to terrible things because of it. I am an 8th grader here and can’t wait to leave, in all honesty.

If you're looking for a school, Moultrie isn't the place to go. I'm currently a 7th grade student, and I've seen it all. First, Moultries teachers do not care about students mental wellbeing whatsoever. All they care about is if you get the work done. Speaking of work, they give you so much, in a very short period of time. The grading system for the work is also very unfair. One low grade or missing assignment could bring your overall down up to 45 points. The only good thing about Moultrie is that you can go see the councilor any time. The downside of this, they don't do anything to solve the issue. They also tell parents everything, which I understand needs to happen, but some students have a bad home situation where it would be unsafe for their parents to know. Also, the students are horrible. Many students that can't afford as much, are in the LGBTQIA+ community, or dress differently are treated as if they aren't still a person. I've personally heard things about me that I didn't even know could happen. Overall, Moultrie Middle School hurts your child, mentally, and possibly physically if a student goes too far.

Awful. I was a student here. The teachers don’t care about us at all.I broke my ankle and the math teacher would not let me go home and made me walk on it for the whole day.they also will not let you use the bathroom really.and if you ask they get mad at you and most of the time make you wait till recess.the lunch there sucks.it is all expired and an edible I feel bad for the students whose parents can’t afford food for them because that’s all they get to eat. Also, I got my phone taken away for calling my mom because the teacher wouldn’t let me go to the bathroom and the teacher took my phone away and lost it and I still don’t have a back they are super unfair about dress codes like my friend had ripped jeans and they weren’t even that ripped and then there’s this boy whose jeans were super super ripped and you could see his underwear and the teacher said well he’s not a distraction.they give us so much work. like I won’t have so much homework I had to stay up till midnight and I didn’t get enough sleep and the next day at school I fell asleep in class and the teacher called my mom and yelled at me. also, the school never gets clean. The bathroom always smells bad and the teachers don’t care if you’re getting bullied, the students there are awful and mean. And they don’t care about us.I got yelled at for having to use the bathroom at lunch.DO NOT GO HERE

Moultrie has high standards for academics and dress. If these standards are not met, there are consequences. This is a good thing! My two Moultrie students have had to miss recess for small infractions. They then corrected their behavior or tardiness and carried on in the manner in which was expected of them.Teachers and administration have been responsive to all of my communication. My two have never complained about the food or the bathrooms. I can't speak for SEL other than it appears to be on an as needed basis rather than a school-wide daily therapy session based on the changing, divisive political climate.

I absolutely do not recommend the school. The teachers do not care about how the students feel. They are not heard one bit. The dress code is awful and uncomfortable. I have seen grown men teachers look under people's skirts. At this point, Moultrie has been sued about 2 times. There are some teachers here who care but don't do anything about how other students treat you.
