Seneca Middle School

I went there all three years coming from another district and I told myself in 6th grade that when I got to 9th I'd write a full review on this site and here I am. This school is very unique in a lot of ways and similar to others as well. Overall, I had a very good experience. The teachers are all very nice, though there's always a few in every grade to look out for. In 8th grade, one teacher humiliated me and left me with a very negative experience but every other one was good. I think this school provides the resources to succeed but a big part of it is teaching your child to reach out. I felt as though no one hovered over me but at the same time there was always someone there if I needed it. The homework is nothing compared to high school, so please feel free to discard anybody's opinions about that. It prepared me for the future, and if anything, I wish there was more homework so I could handle the next few years better. They don't really work with kids who's learning styles are more tactile, but visually and through listening kids should do well. There are pods for each grade so getting to classes and having a short distance to travel is nice. I'd highly recommend the choir program, as it is more rigorous than even prestigious high schools and the program is very rewarding and offers several opportunities and just explore more avenues in life involving leadership skills and dealing with new skills and the stress involved. The sports are amazing and the coaches are good, so please look into that. All in all, I think kids would enjoy going to school. I know I most certainly did.

The school overall is ok in how clean it is but the amount of homework is outrageous

Great school! My child came from Pickens County school district and I am very impressed with the teachers - communication is top-notch. I always know what is going on and my child is getting a wonderful education. The building is old and it took a while to get used to the layout, but other than that, very happy with this school and leadership.

I moved into this school in the 8th grade this year and i was pretty worried at first. Although the support the teachers gave me and some students (now my friends) gave me helped me out and i don't think anyone will regret going to this school
