Tanana Middle School

Posted: January 23, 2024

This school is terrible if your child has a learning disability such as Adhd, or any other special needs. Instead of trying to help and assist a child, they will target them as a "problem child" then suspend them multiple times for minor infractions that could be handled by a guidance counselor, or a teachers aid. The child ends up losing valuable learning time, and is left to fend for themselves. Parents days are interrupted having to leave work early to go pick child up from school. If your child has special needs do not send them to this school. The staff does not have the time, patience, or qualifications to deal with anything other than "completely normal behavior"!

I am a student here at Tanana and my experience here is amazing. I came to the school when I was an 8th grader because in 7th grade I went to a K-8 school and since the incident that happened at that school, I transferred to Tanana, and transferring to Tanana is one of the best choices I made in my entire life! I thought that I would barely have friends but I have tons now! The teachers help me in any way possible and my grades are amazing with all As! Tanana middle school, the staff, and the students of Tanana helped me achieve so much greatness and success! love the Tanana staff at this school! They are so lovable. I would definitely recommend this school to others. Thank you Tanana Middle School!

No, I don't feel like this school develops any of these characteristics in our students. While there are a few great teachers, the terrible-should-be-fired-teachers out number them significantly.

As a parent I feel bad that I have sent my daughter to this school. Every time I have approached the school about an issue I have been blown off with no results. Even when I approached the school regarding a safety and security concern after threatening phone calls. Our military children deserve a better school than this. After the first three weeks my daughter came home and told me that they were repeating everything she started in the 6th grade. When I contacted the counselor about comparing the two curriculums and possibly moving her up to either grade she said that her three weeks of grades (at the new school that she started three weeks late) did not support it. She would not even consider it. I am writing this review to save other parents the frustration and their middle schoolers the frustration of attending this school. The only reason why I am giving this school a bad and not a terrible review is because my daughter did have wonderful art, advisory and PE teachers.

My daughter has had a couple wonderful teachers who she has learned a lot in the class, mostly art and PE. Yep, sad I know. But the science teacher, was very hard to communicate with and my daughter was scared to even talk to him. I had a hard time communicating with him even as an adult.

My daughter rarely had homework, maybe one night per week, if that and managed to maintain a 3.0 all year. During the entire year my daughter read 2, maybe three books in English class.

I go here. I'm entering 8th grade, and when I first started, I was solo scared I would be bullied, get lost, ect. But the teachers delt with bullying very appropriately and they were forgiving about being late, and they reallybtook time with each student. There was always an adult to talk to if needed, and by far the best school experience I've had. The homework is tough but it teaches. There are also many very fun activities. Volleyball games was my favorite. They were always upbeat an exciting. Sold good food too =^.^= I was part of tatu and that was very fun! The environment was always very welcoming. Tanana is like my 2nd home. I really recommend this school!!! Go Tanana eagles!!!

Tanana is a fabulous school! Being in the military, we have spent time in many different schools. Tanana is the best middle school we have ever been a part of. The counselors are incredible and really get to know each and every student. The teachers truly seem to love their job, and do their best to challenge and encourage students. The school also provides more challenging work for those students who may excel and need more. Bullying has not seemed to be an issue at all, and there is a warmth in the school that is felt despite the intense chilly temperatures OUTSIDE. The music program is great, and the sports teams really have fun and have wonderful coaches that set great examples for the students in sportsmanship while still teaching great athletic skills. The only complaint I have is that the students only can choose one elective. And that we have to move away from this awesome school (oops. I guess that was 2 complaints). We truly love this school. Tanana is fabulous!

This school has the best atmosphere of any school I've ever worked. Everyone at the school is working towards what is best for students.
