Bush Middle School

I just finished 7th grade at this school, and this is my worst experience of school. The academics at this school is horrible for me, in the ways that it’s incredibly easy. In some classes (especially in 6th grade) I learned things that I already learned in 3rd grade. I am not being challenged at all. Many students are also incredibly disrespectful and use hateful language. Many also skip classes or their detention, vape and do drugs. The teachers aren’t that good too. One reading teacher is disabled with her legs and has severe asthma. My friends who have had her always report her doing the bare minimum and is always misplacing papers. This is similar to other teachers but on a less severe degree. However, I know a lot of other good teachers. For my elective experience, If you’re going to take debate, don’t. I took it for the whole year and only had two tests that were in the beginning of the year. The advanced students teach the class and the mostly played on our phones. For art, the teacher doesn’t know how to teach and the only kids in that class are troublemakers who can’t choose any other elective. This school gets a lot of good reviews, but for me and my sister it is a horrible experience. Also, this next year they’re requiring clear backpacks and increasing security, so expect that.

Great teachers! My son loved it! Challenging but in a way that the students remained motivated but not burned out. My son excelled and always speaks kindly about his time here. (Ronald Reagan Freshman now)

We are a military family and have lived in many states and attended many schools. My daughter attended 8th grade here and she loved it! Teachers and students are wonderful! She made lots of friends! The school is run very well. Everyone is so friendly. We also loved band! academics are hard and she did get the normal amount of homework. I love how the school has time in the mornings or after school if the kids need help with anything. Also Love how the teacher will text you with updates and reminders! Can't say enough on how wonderful this school is.

My son is in 6th grade at Bush. He was homeschooled up until this year. He has dyslexia and dysgraphia so we almost didn't enroll him in public school when we enrolled his siblings, but it has turned out to be a great experience for him. The teachers have been so great about following his accommodations. His case manager sends out regular emails letting us know when tests are coming up and big projects are due (this is great since my son's memory isn't the greatest). We've had absolutely no issue in the transition to middle school and I really credit the teachers with that. They really seem to care and help the kids whenever they can. We're definitely happy to have our son at Bush!
