Moultrie Middle School

Horrible. Administration is listless. The principals are “all lip no service.” The technology is a chaotic mess poorly instituted and confusing even for parents who excel with tech, let alone their kids. One teacher even put in writing that in class students take priority over virtual students. There is no communication from most teachers even if I beg them to inform me. They take no proactive action to help a struggling student until after we respond about failing grades with no warning. We finally had a counselor reach out almost three months into the year. I’ve been chastised by both principals more than once for emails that take the tone of this review. Who do they think they are? I’m the parent. Not the student. This is another arrogant, overrated example of the failing public school system. And the new principal is way over his head. I’ve asked him many times to instruct the teachers to give me a heads up when there are homework issues (incomplete etc) and they simply refuse to partner with me so my son can succeed. This school is a horrible disappointment.

It was awful. I was miserable for the most part, but had some really amazing teachers who deserve more recognition! Mr. Nadobny, Mrs, Robinovitz, Mr. Callanan, etc. were all amazing, so I made sure to tell them that before I graduated from there because they truly are great. The only thing is that the guidance counselors could have been better and made things worse often! Made some good friends, but it was not always the best. My brother also went for a year and loved it, but it doesn't always come out as that impressive. No bullying, overall, just was angry because I was doing super well in CP, but they would refuse to let me go to honors just because of what my records said, it was very upsetting, so I wish that they had given me a chance there in middleschool, instead of realizing it in my last year at the end, I am so grateful for a few teachers though because they finally saw my potential and let me go, if it wasn't for them, I couldn't do what I am now! I am still not as far ahead as I could be though because of not being allowed to take honors until later though, so that is annoying, but ok.

I am in the fifth grade, and looking for a good middle school. I read the reviews,and it sounds amazing. I am an above average student when it comes to studies, and I need a challenge! my current school runs through 6th grade. I am not always treated with respect, in fact, treated like a white crayon (completely ignored). I need a school that can help me achieve greatness. last yearm at my school, I won student of the year... I need a school with a basketball team too(lets say im addicted to it) if this school can meet my expectations, it seems perfect. as long it has a great math and science program, it sounds like heaven to me! (I LOVE school)

Moultrie cares about its students. One of my children went to Moultrie at 6grade and then skipped to 9th grade after a year and half, accepted by Academic Magnet High School. His score on ACT reached 96% when he was in 7th grade. I visited several schools before choosing Moultrie. it was the only school whose principal answered all my emails. It turned out to be a right choice. The school is flexible and accomodating. It allows my child to take Algebra I in the 6th grade and finished the course in a few months after passing the end of course exam offered by the school district. He went on to take online course such as Geometry and Algebra II and was allowed for independent study. His school counselor was very kind and helpful. Every time I went there, I saw the principal in the hall watching for students. If she didn't care that much, she would not have been there. But I talked to the principal only once. That was after she made her recommendation for my son to skip the 8th grade. She said, "I think the decision was in the best interest of the student". If your child has potential to learn by himself, this is a good school.
