Monocacy Middle School

My daughter was a straight "A" student who loved school. Now she hates school and gets C's. In other words, Monocacy Middle School seems to be the place where erstwhile Rhodes Scholar candidates go to prepare to live an unfulfilled life steeped in mediocrity.The school is wasting the talents of several exceptional teachers. What a pity.

I have only had experience with the 7th grade counselor, whom I don't recommend he work with middle school students. The 7th grade counselor have the attitude of a prison guard. My daughter was transferred to Monocracy Middle School, I called because I heard from a reliable source that over 100 fights have taken place at the school last school year, i wanted some reassurance. The 7th grade counselor , response was "all kids fight", and there are fights everywhere. I asked can I come in and tour the school, his response was "i hope you don't think I'm going to stay after school hours, I have my own kids to go home too." I never asked him to stay after school. My response was "now I see what the problem with the school is", A real let down. I hope that the 7th grade counselor find his true calling as a prison guard at Sing Sing prison rather than a school counselor

It is horrible and just a bad school don't hurt your kids and put them in this horrible school!

My experience with the Administration and most of the staff has been fantastic. They seem very driven to want to improve and have a keen focus to helping the students be the best they can be. Like every school, Monocacy Middle has its issues, but I don't encounter these on a regular basis.
