Seneca Ridge Middle School

THIS SCHOOL IS THE BEST SCHOOL THAT MY KID HAS EVER BEEN TO!

Great development/learning environment. Could use some more windows.

While a few of the teachers are fair, the majority of them take the "if you do something bad, you're not the only one who'll suffer" thing way too far. The staff will nit-pick at the small and unnecessary things, but will overlook bigger issues, varying from racist comments to bullying and fights in the hallways. In addition to this, teachers tend to hold classes several minutes after the bell rings just because one person kept misbehaving and will refuse to write late passes even for the students who were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing, causing those respectful students to arrive late and receive unfair punishments for it. The horrible substitutes also add to the awful learning experience. The hallways are always in complete chaos during the 5 minutes in between classes. Many incredibly rude and disrespectful students run around the overcrowded locker areas with their bundles of friends while blasting loud music, blocking those who need to get to their classes, pushing and shoving people along the way. The school is also very unsanitary. The floors, walls, and even cafeteria tables are very dirty and are covered in germs and trash. There are also no windows except for in the art rooms, gym locker rooms, and the cafeteria ceiling, causing the school to be a rather dark, musty, and depressing place. If it wasn't for the very few understanding and respectable teachers, I would've given an even worse rating. Overall, Seneca Ridge Middle School is a very uncomfortable and poorly operated school.

Seneca is an extremely cliquey school, some students tend to not accept the other students that are different from them. The cafeteria is very small (with about 20 kids at a lunchtable, even though it's meant for 10), the cafeteria also has a strange, musty smell that isn't pleasing. The auditorium and locker area are filled with many ants just crawling around. There are a few windows in the school, which can make it kind of depressing during class. There are also ceiling leaks theoughout the school, last year, they had to remove the ceiling tiles and the water would drip down into a trash can on the floorOne good thing about the school is that some teachers are AMAZING! They've really impacted my learning (in a good way) and I finally understand what I'm learning about. Overall, this school is okay.
