Reedy Creek Middle

Let me preface this with a couple of things. School comes easy to my child, not all people are so lucky. Middle school is all about transition. It is an awkward time in kids lives as they figure out who they are and gain independence. Middle school is clumsy and disjointed everywhere. It is the nature of young teens. I had heard rumors about the school being full of bullies and ‘thugs’ (not my word), and was cautious about sending my son there. After taking a tour and learning what the school had to offer, I was satisfied and decided to give it a fair chance. Pros: Great principal who loves and respects the kids. Long list of electives that range from life skills to robotics. Lots of clubs, sports, and extra curricular activities to get involved in. And the kids do. Great communication from teachers. Advisors that rise through the school with your child’s class. Diversity, school pride, and technology enabled. Cons: Not a whole lot of money for sports equipment and/or facility upgrades. Very weak booster club (brand new a couple years ago). Maybe not enough homework. Of course there was bullying and fights (mostly girls from what I heard) but that is everywhere. Much worse activity and self harm was happening at other affluent schools in the area. At the end of the day, RCMMS is a real life middle school. It is very diverse in its student population, both ethnically and economically. Life is not perfect and neither is any school. My son was well prepared for high school, made some great friends, took a lot of classes and learned what he likes and doesn’t like so much, and most importantly has gained some real life experiences.

Overall, we have had a great experience at RCMMS. There's a good diversity of backgrounds both among staff and students. Organization and administration seems fair and appropriate. Many unique electives and after school activities.

I dislike this school. Most students are miserable, and some teachers aren’t helpful. The only positives are the homework, and electives/programs.

Because they where always there for me and they understood me. Plus they helped me a lot cuz I have social anxiety
