King George Middle School

I hated this school with every fiber of my being and I remember faking sick to skip school. The students were rude to each other and teachers. the teachers could have cared less about the students

If we had alternate choices, I would not send my kids to this school. Most of my friends homeschool for middle school because of the problems with the school. The bad kids that go here make it really hard for the teachers and staff to work with the average and good kids.

I think its absolutely absurd that if I do not stay in contact with teachers, as if my 8th grader is back in elementary school, they will just let the student fall behind. Not all of the teachers are this way, I have had great experience with most teachers in 7th grade and only a few in 8th grade. My son has not ever been anything less than an Honor and Distinguished Honor student. This year, I have to chase down homework assignments because some use the agenda, some do not. Then I ask and I get a response as "its on the reminder app" or "I have it on the KGMS site" or "Student was supposed to pick it up out of the bin". It is beyond frustrating. The particular class I am referring to is a High School credit, which I understand is a little more demanding, however, if you're going to treat a student as if they're already in High School, maybe the teacher is at the wrong school. You don't get answers anywhere, its a constant pass of the buck.

My child has habitually slipped through the cracks at this school. If I do not stay on every teacher, every week, he is allowed to slip without so much as a phone call or a warning. I have had only one teacher call my home, or send a notice home, in two years of middle school. He is the exception. The rules are inconsistently applied by the principal, and staff. I actually caught a teacher in a lie when questioning him about an incident with my son. My son has a learning disability, and I have to stay on him, and the school for him to get the work done. The worst was when he was out for a week with a serious illness. We made up his homework, and I dropped it off in the office. His teachers reported that they never got it. We made it all up again, and when he returned to school, I placed it in a nice organizer with each teachers name. Half of them said they didn't get it again. We completed the work a third time, and he still didn't get credit for all of it. Unorganized, and ineffectual!!!! Can't wait to be done with the middle school.
