Rayburn Middle School

A total nightmare,A traumatic experience for my child,I am furious with this school and their lack of leadership.

The academic challenge is almost non existent and the girls athletic coaches are a joke. The girls b team coach in particular for basketball has no business coaching a sport she knows nothing about. She sits on the bench and plays with her hair most of the time and teaches none of the basics which is apparent on the court. These girls are being cheated out of learning experience...so sad.

Stay away if you can. There are gangs and it is a very rough school. My sister went here and constantly saw kids get jumped and harassed.

We moved here from out-of-state and my son has attended 6th grade at Rayburn. The reputation is terrible, so I was very afraid. The kids do not have lockers, have to have see-through back packs, and wear uniforms. My son has survived, with minimal bullying. The teachers there seem to be really nice, helpful, and caring. The students there are what creates the issue. Academically, the school is pretty good.... socially, it's on the rough side. I'm hoping my children wont have to go there next year, as my daughter is entering Middle School, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. The Orchestra and Band programs are beginning to thrive.
