I highly recommend SMS; the principal, Mrs. Horne is enthusiastic and approachable, and all the teachers are dedicated and engaging.

In my opinion, the teachers in Severance Middle School are very kind. Yes, lots are strict, but they mean well. The only problem is that this school has WAY too many kids. There are now about 35 students per class, which is very unpleasant. Security here is decent, students have rules, no phones are allowed out during the day, but the only other problem I have is that there is a SERIOUS lack of free time for students. You have 3 minutes between each class, and a 24 minute lunch.

The school is over populated. 25-28 students per teacher. The academic support program set up to help students that struggle in only certain subjects is inefficient and you get no feedback from the teachers that children are assigned to. If your child comes from an elementary school that had little to no homework expect a culture shock as a 6th grader. They will have a lot of homework from all classes. They would rather blame the student for the lack of focus than examine the teachers for their teaching styles, organization and communication skills. You can also expect some sort of safety/security alert at least once a month. My family has had students in this school since it first opened and the caliber has greatly decreased since it opened. If you student needs a little extra help or a lot don't expect to get it unless you are prepared to double check things every day.

Homework is given when necessary and not just for busy work.

I can't say enough good things about Severance Middle School! It's never an easy transition for kids to go into Middle School, but somehow the staff at SMS makes the transition effortless and enjoyable for the kids. The staff and principal are outstanding and have found the perfect balance of strong academics, strong athletics, and a safe, fun environment in which kids can thrive. The school itself is beautiful, but it's true what they say, beauty does come from the inside and this school's staff is no exception! My kids have been extremely happy and proud to be a Severance Hawk! Thank you!

Love the Administration in this school. When I wanted an evaluation to be done on my son to see if he fit on the Autism Spectrum. It was followed through and within 6 weeks, he was tested and getting services by the school in speech therapy for social skills. Teachers e-mail parents back ASAP about student concerns and grades are often up to date on the website. It is a great school coming in from out of state. Love it.

We are so very happy with this school. The principal, Mr. Tapia, is amazing. He is so welcoming and fair and makes all of the kids feel valued. It is a beautiful facility and offers a wide range of classes. My son loves athletics and was able to play on the varsity travel basketball team as a 6th grader. That is something that wasn't offered at other schools we considered attending. He also plays in the orchestra and is challenged by his advanced level classes. The gifted and talented program is a little weak, but in these hard financial times, I think that is common. I want my children to be in a public school, and this is one of the best.
