Southern Middle School

As a parent of a 6th grader, I was pleasantly surprised the quality of education and the great support my new middle schooler received. With the school population being so varied and socially, economically and racially diverse, I think they are trying to create as much support for students as possible.

I’m a student here in 7th grade. I used to be shy. Really shy. Now I have a lot of friends, which is nice. I really want for this school to focus more on the oncore classes like maybe more class time, also focus less on math, science, social studies, etc. Like honestly what is the point of SS!

My son attends 6th grade here and I am extremely disappointed. Most of the kids here are well-behaved but they have completely been swallowed up by children who bully them and continually disrupt class. There are no ramifications for the bad behavior and nothing is done to stop the CONSTANT bullying. My son's experience mirrors the comments of the student below and it breaks my heart that another child feels the same as my son. It is so bad that I am considering placing my son in private school or even moving to a middle school zone where the administration cares for the child that is there to learn.

I go to this school now, and i dont have many friends here and i get bullied alot and it seems like the teachers dont do anything about it, our school could improve by workng on the bullying more. maybe have a teacher stand in the hallway and watch...
