If I could transfer i would. They completely sweep bullying situations under the rug, and make it worse. I have issues with telling schools about bullying because of a similar situation in elementary school where they promised "100% anonymity" when reporting bullying, but when they called me in they called the bully in too. Telling us to basically suck it up and stop fighting, even though i didnt do anything to this girl. After this incident she proceeded to bully me even more, calling me a snitch. All the girls in the grade turned against me because they were friends with her. They also have a terrible "pay to have fun" situation in 8th grade where you have to pay around 100 dollars to go outside and have fun. If you didn't pay you had to sit in a classroom for a whole week doing work or just sitting around in silence because the teachers wouldnt let you talk. Students should not be shamed and punished for not paying for your stupid "8th grade week". Some children cant afford to pay, so inturn they have to sit around and deal with it?? Honestly disgusting. It's ruling out children who are more disadvantaged than others. Oh, you can't afford 800 dollars to go to New York with us? here's a bunch of work to do while we have fun. Not to mention the teachers act just as ignorant as the rest of us students. Most of the time you question how they even got a degree. One teacher literally just eats in class all day and hands out surprise projects about things she never taught us, which almost doomed us all if she wasnt absent most of the time so the substitutes could teach us something. If you have other options, please don't go here. I've spent four long years here and I regret every one but i have no other school to turn to because of the stupid "district zones". you've been warned.

South west Chatham middle school has amazingly intellectual teachers which teach the next generation the skills to have a successful career and life.

This school is horrible! Teachers and students are disrespectful. Teachers do not and cannot control their classes. There is no notification from teachers if a student is struggling. If the student needs extra help they must sign up for tutorial, which often gets cancelled without any notice. Lost of fighting between students. Students can only use the restroom once a day when teachers unlock them. If something happens to your child, you better hope the camera in that part of the building is working because the majority of them are not. Lots of bullying going on without teachers doing anything about it. If this is the school your children are supposed to attend, I would strongly suggest that you coconsider homeschooling.
