Rickey C Bailey Middle School

Love the teachers and smaller class sizes here. We came from the Heights and an IB school, so while the material seems more relaxed, the teachers and staff are phenomenal here. For reference, our kinder class had daily homework and number grades on report cards (so more relaxed would be most schools in the country…)

2 of my children went here from 2017-2020. The teachers are great and really teach and pay attention to the students. The teacher who stood out the most was Ms Petite. She made sure my daughter had the resources and support she needed even when she needed a little extra help. The principal, Mr Armelin, is amazing and cares about the students and staff.

Everyone at this schools works hard and really cares about the he students.

The entire staff at this school has a bad attitude and so unprofessional. If you have a concern about something they get defensive and give you an attitude instead of being helpful. Drop off and pickup are a nightmare, they are so unorganized and they make up all these new rules and policies almost every other day it seems and scream at you if you didn’t get the memo. Example: they sent home an anttendance and tardy policy paper home for parents to sign. It specifically said early dismissal ends at 2:30pm. Well 2 days later I went up to the school to take my son out early, it was 2:05pm and the lady at the front desk said early dismissal cut off is 2pm now. They never sent a notice, and I told her I just signed a paper the school sent about this 2 days ago and it said 2:30pm. She didn’t apologize or anything for the change and miscommunication on their part. She just gave me an attitude and rolled her eyes and called the principal. Their attitude is so bad it seems like they hate being there and that’s a big concern when we’re sending our children to be under their care.
