My child went to this school since the 6th grade and she’s now in 7th. Everyday she always came home crying to me because kids would bully her and call her mean things. Not only the students, but teachers also bullied her which was wrong of them to do. The teachers here don’t do anything and slack off, that’s why my daughter complains to me about the learning environment everyday after school.

Eagle Ridge Middle school is not the best school. My child often comes home talking of instances where teachers bullied students. My child says that there are no student bullies, only teacher bullies. Some teachers such as Mrs. Roser, Mx Madigan, and Ms. Brawley are amazing teachers that connect with the students and help them learn better, But others, especially the 6th-grade resource teacher, do not care for the students and seem to only be there for the paycheck. There are also many unnecessary rules, some of which prevent students from going to the bathroom. That is a basic human need! They time how long children go to the bathroom, and ask for a reason when kids make electronic hall passes to go to the bathroom. Why do they need to know whether my child needs to go #1 or #2? They also encourage students to lie and pretend the school is perfect when figures of authority are visiting. Also, some teachers do not give students the opportunity to speak to each other at all, and when confronted, accuse the student of being disrespectful and unkind. Also, a student teacher for English in 6th grade called bisexual "inappropriate" while a student in the class was openly bisexual. How will our children feel safe when the teachers are not following the rules listed in the lcps policy (no discrimination)? According to my child, the Art and Music departments are the only ones with teachers whom they feel happy to learn. Once, my child cried because their advisory teacher yelled at them because they were trying to cheer up the class. This occurred after the teacher yelled at another student for standing up for another student. Basically, the whole class was sticking up for each other after the teacher yelled at one student. She referred half of them for "disrespectful behavior", while she was the one who yelled at a student for looking at the floor while she was talking about how the government in the US was horrible and democrats were attempting to take away our rights. Why are advisory teachers with an English major teaching students about how everyone should vote for republicans? She also encouraged them to start practicing for their driver's license test! They are not even legally allowed to do this. Overall, I would not recommend eagle ridge middle school. While some teachers are extremely kind and understanding, many are not, and use "respectfulness" as a reason to constantly demean students.

There is bullying but not from the students, sad to say. The teachers here have a sense of entitlement and can’t be bothered with students the t need help in class. My child is intimidated to ask follow up questions after one teacher told her said she refused to discuss what had been covered in class, excuse me? When my child was out on quarantine she fell behind and the teacher never discussed catching up not discussing what she missed. The principal is MIA( except for directing traffic in the morning ) and the Teachers need to be reined in. Not a caring environment, isn’t middle school difficult enough without unhelpful and short-tempered staff?
