Zachry Middle School

The people make all the difference! From the men who keep the school safe and clean to the people in the front office and everyoine in between - this school has an atmosphere of compassion and commitment to excellence.

My son is in 3rd grade and we moved here from California. He LOVES this school. His teacher does a very good job at keeping me informed. There is NO homework, which at first I was apprehensive about, but to be honest it has been amazing for our family time. So far we love this school!

The teachers and front office are great. Everyone’s happy and courteous. They care about the students and find ways to make learning fun and important.

If I could give this school zero stars I would. My child has adhd and is on a 504 plan. This school did not follow his plan. His teacher pegged him as a “bad kid” because he is hyper and she was constantly reprimanding him in front of the other students. This then caused all the kids in his class to not want to be his friend because he is now the “bad kid”. I know this because children would approach me and tell me this. His teacher also told me that I needed to put him on medication ( in front of him in the car pool line, as my child was getting into his booster seat). In addition, another child was picking on my child and they attempted to excuse it because that boy has autism and adhd. First off, every child should be treated equally. It’s not okay for my kid to continue to get picked on because that child also has autism. Every kid has something going on in their lives (because again mine also has adhd), bullying is inexcusable. And need I mention they shouldn’t be releasing another child’s medical info to other parents (it’s against the law). Or in my child’s case, be getting involved in the medical decisions of those parents. Stay away from this school if you can. It will only stress out your child and make them doubt their character (my kid started to literally think he was a bad kid just because he is a little hyper) and make you feel helpless and my child is only in kinder. Some teachers don’t need to be teachers. He’s moved on to another school and has an amazing teacher and many friends. That goes to show that his old teacher was toxic (my son’s therapist that helps him control his impulses- even said so, that “ she’s breeding an unhealthy environment” and that’s why all the kids in her class were mean to each other and Burke did nothing about it.
