Herbert Slater Middle School

Horrible the administrators just labeled me with lies and give no support to struggling students they dont actually help to get people back on track they just hand out suspensions and detentions

I very strongly dislike Herbert Slater Middle School, they treat the students horribly. Not to mention all the smoking, fights, and gangs. It's a horrible place to send your child, I strongly disagree with all of the teachers, One of my sister's teachers actually hit a child in her class in front of all the other students. I can't even type out all of my horrible experiences here, especially the way they treat GATE kids, because I would run out of space. I will just say that this school is ineffective in just about everything they try to do, discipline, teaching, and simple behavior. What I mean by simple behavior is that they don't know how to teach kids the way they need to behave for later on in life. Even the way they will need the act to make it through high school. So, overall I would strongly try to stop anyone who is thinking about sending their child there and just tell them that's it's not worth it just so they can be with their friends, I promise, there are so many better places to send your child.

The PE teachers sometimes make us run in the rain. But ither than that its okay. Some of our teachers are fun , others are just strict. The clubs are fun , mostly latino club we go to 6 flags , and the principal is awesome. And Ms. Coltrin is awesome ! Visit her n room 66 !!! ^.^ <3<3

We were told this school was to be feared and that the teaching was sub par...however, when our son enrolled for seventh grade this year we found out first hand how AWESOME this school is. Grades are on line and IF you follow up with your kid and follow his or her grades, you can be successful here. When things slip, ONE call to the school and things get taken care of very fast. Great staff, great principal, great everything. Love this school!
