William Mendenhall Middle School

we moved in from neighbor county and so far this school is true shock for us. Not sure how much covid plays into this, but majority of teachers are unprepared, unable to work with kids, unable to communicate clearly and unable to realize they talking to kids not adults or teeneagers. School ignores kids special learning need even thought they are obligated to do so by law. I would rate this school 1/10.

My experience at this school has not been very good at all. In one of my classes, my teacher lets the kids do anything, is not thorough with teaching, does not give examples when teaching, and most of the time plays videos and has the kids take notes, while she sits there. She also gives us test every 1-2 weeks and expects us to learn a whole entire lesson in that time period. Most of the kids in this class have bad grades and/or failing their test. I think this teacher needs to step it up and realize why her students are failing. She makes very unusual remarks sometimes, including "functions just don't work like that, just like how two men or two women can't have a baby, it just doesn't work." This teacher also called a kid out in front of the whole class for not listening and she said "and you wonder why you have that grade"Most of the people I know at the school do not enjoy being or going to the school. When I first got here, I thought it would be great, but I soon realized it's not as great as it seems.Then again, the experience is different for everyone. I wish you good luck if you're going or go to this school.

This is a second review and follows up on the experience I wrote about below. I found the new administration was reasonable and (equally important) very quick to act and take responsibility. Specifically, the new vice principle is amazingly responsive. Full marks!

Most teachers at this school are absolutely terrible. They do not teach well and don't care about the students. The accelerated math program here is really bad, the teacher I had this past year was very unprepared for class. She never had a set schedule for class, so most class time was spent on correcting old homework instead of learning the new lesson we were supposed to do. In the middle of the year our really bad core teacher left which greatly disrupted our learning. Also, the princible here is very unorganized and cannot control the small amount of students at the very disorderly award assembly at the end of the year. Overall the teachers and staff are really bad at this school.
