This school has a 'zero tolerance policy'. Any school fight were children hit each other even self-defense is reported to the local police department. They do file charges even when no injuries are present and even when parents don't wish to press charges. The U. S. Department of Education came out with a lengthy statement in 2014 AGAINST zero tolerance. Zero tolerance is not supported by peer reviewed literature, because it doesn't work. An innocent childhood fight can turn into a criminal record for your child at this school.

This is a school that does not care to work with your kids if they have ADHD or any kind of problem like that they will lie to you tell you they are going to help get a 504 for your kid and just not do it then when your kid can't pass mostly because of homework they want you to pay 250.00 to send your kid to summer school because they couldn't do there job this school does bully your kids call them names like lazy pathetic tell your kids they will not amount to anything this is in no way a good school for average or less than average students

I would highly recommend MMS! My family moved here a couple of years ago so my children have attended multiple middle schools. On paper, they both received high ratings, but in reality, Mechanicsburg Middle blew the other top rated school away! The teachers here are very concerned with each students progress. They really strive to help each child to reach his or her potential. Like one of the previous raters, I have kids with different needs and varying abilities to complete classwork and homework. The teachers worked with me to ensure that my son was challenged, but not overwhelmed. I found the staff very accommodating and helpful. Additionally, they offer advanced math classes for those who need it. We have been very pleased with MMS!

I honestly feel that this is a very poor school. First of all the school staff talks about other students like they are children. Second they only care about homework and many teachers are lazy and childish. Also the school serves disgusting food and even teachers say they won't touch it which is very pathetic and they use grade F meat (a higher grade of meat is used in dog food) Lastly the teachers are almost like bullies I have heard of kids being called pathetic a waste and other things.
