Audubon Technology & Communication Middle School

I am thankful that we left Glenwood. My son was there for K-4 until the start of 5th grade, and my daughter went to 3rd grade. The math and actual academics at the school are horrible. We moved to Germantown, and have been working a lot to get our kids up to average when they were both achieving as much as possible at Glenwood. Mrs. Rocha, and some other staff are wonderful, but the school as a whole is run more like a daycare than a school. There is no shortage of parties, fundraisers and other non-academic events, but there is little in the way of academics. If you have the option, look elsewhere.

Staff office are always cranky, are not helpful at all when asked to do their job. They give bad attitudes to parents and others and make them feel like an inconvenience.

As a former teacher at this school,I would say to all good families out there, run! Unfortunately, the principal( like many in MPS) has neither the skills nor expertise to do their job. They could never manage a classroom. The admin ,for the most part, is insulated and mostly concerned with keeping those 100K+ jobs. Violence, disrespect, and disruption by students and parents ,is met with: What could you as a teacher have done differently? Or, “ The student is Special Ed and has an IEP. We can’t do anything.” No ownership is ever put on the bad parents or students.

This school was actually great it had fun classes and fun stuff to do but when my brother broke his arm on the playground they just gave him a ice pack and didn't call the hospital or our parents until 2 hours later :/

A teacher threw my sisters notebook at the walk because she was drawing in class. My sister, a generally well behaved child, saw a kid on freetime during ELA, decides to draw and then had a teacher take her notebook and throw it AGENST A WALL. I understand how some of these students can be but that is way to extreme and aggressive. Multiple students saw this and can testify. Also, he (in mh opinion) bullied my friend. They are autistic and had meny triggers, which they communicated to him. He then goes out of his way to tease them using those triggers, I also remember him calling them stupid. They are homeschooled now because of him and bullies. Over all, bad experience with him. There are other amazing teachers here, though.But the support here for regular teachers isn't that great. The social worker is amazing but if you have mental disorders but aren't in the Special Education class, you dont get accommodations you need. Not even with official diagnosis. I barely learnt anything in my 6th abd 7th grade of school because of some of these teachers. I couldn't focus in class and didn't have anything to help me. I felt miserable here when I was a student. I hope everyone working there the best but goodness some of them were horrible.
