This school is horrible. There has been multiple instances of students having loaded guns on campus. They need metal detectors at this point. They also do nothing about bullying. My son recorded incidents and told staff and nothing was done. They brushed it off and sent him back to class. He has reported bullying multiple times with no resolve. Our children are not safe at this school.

In my opinion,this school isn't as bad as people say it is ,I say they need to work on the security and safety here way more.The teachers aren't so bad although there is certain teachers who aren't the best,but an honorable mention that i'd say is a great teacher here at Peary middle school for 6th grade is Mrs.Kim,she provides a safe learning environment for her students and she praises her students for their achievements,not to mention all of her classes have turned out to be very smart and I say that's because of her teaching.But besides that,there is often fights here and people getting hurt and the office staff don't provide much support to family members which needs a change! PE teachers aren't bad either.An honorable mention for the PE teachers is Fletcher.He is super generous and he doesn't often yell at kids for no reason and he's fair to students.Although,I wouldn't recommend this school.

This school staff are very rude, no one helps bullying here is basically a nature if your kid can't defend themselves they will get bullied here. No one picks up the phone any time of the time , DO. NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!

So much bullying at this school. So horrible and kids are afraid to say anything because so many other kids threatened you. There were not enough yard people to supervise this over crowded school.

The admin was terrible. They made me feel like I was some horrible kid. I went to turn in a note from my parents about missing a day of school due to being sick. I went to the admin office and wasnt sure who to talk to so literally I said Excuse me, May I talk to someone about a note from my dad... I was then interrupted by a couple admin yelling at me saying how rude I was and I was disrespectful for not waiting until called, yet I was the only student there. Never saw the principal unless there was some sort of assembly.

If you werent mean to defend yourself you would be bullied. No one did a thing.

Horrible, I feel like I learned nothing except for Mr. Richters class. Im excellent at English and writing but my other subject were such a failure due to this school. Took my a long time to finally learn what I should have at Peary.

My 7th grade year, we went the whole year without a math teacher because the one we had left.

Seems like the administration is just doing the minimum to get through the year. Students and parents seem to be the biggest issue as they are their own obstacle. Problematic students who are not the majority ruin it for the rest and the surrounding area around the school. The test scores and ranking say a lot when you have all the same students with the same teachers and advantages and disadvantages but perform oppositely in rankings. Means its not the teachers!

This school is not a bad school even though most people think it. Some of the kids are bad nut besides that the teachers and staff are doing a great job teaching the kids.

I am currently an eighth grader at this school and I know that it is not the best school, but it is getting better and adding many more opportunities for the students such as seventh grade algebra classes and eighth grade geometry, classes which are normally taken at a higher grade level. Overall it is a pretty good school with great teachers and continues to improve.

Honestly, I know a lot of parents think this is a bad school, but I think it is above average. I will be in 8th grade for the 2012-2013 school year. It really isn't that bad. There are a lot of bad kids, but as long as you avoid them and pick the right friends you'll be fine. I'll never forget my Peary days once I'm in high school.

My son is just a 6th grader, but he's doing quite well! His grades are very good!

I believe the staff at Peary M. S., Teachers and especially the Administration is doing a great job in educating and guiding my child. I say that especially for the principal who is always deeply involved with most of the activities there. Great Job
