No don't listen to these other people they are lying our school is the best school out of all these schools in the world but there's one thing that we really don't stop and that is bullying because we tried to hug it out and try to forget everyone and it has worked in the past and has worked right now so don't listen to these other people because they are telling lies and we really love our students

This school isn't good at all even with the title " Best middle school in the world" as a current student who has been here since 6th and now is In 7th that is a lie, the teachers only care about a paycheck, the counselor doesn't help and anytime a student go to them all they do is call parents for unnesscery things, they often suspend the wrong students and praise bullies and dont help the bullied the assistant principle constantly has an attitude with students and get mad when they give it back even tho she gives attitude. They don't do anything for children who get bullied and kept racist teachers before because " they couldn't afford it" they dont do anything for the kids and often give them diarrhea, headaches, stomach aches, and food poisoning, NO teacher in the school can do anything about the ac and often students are left either hot in there 1-hour class or cold. You get ISS ( IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION) for the dumbest reasons like punching a water bottle or speaking up for someone, and teachers cuss and have nothing done by it but when students cuss they get suspended or land in ISS, they dress code girls with curves but dont wanna dress code girls who dont, your child could have a small chest or no chest and wear a tank top with a jacket and not get dress coded but a girl with maybe some would get sent to ISS, they give boys more then the girls in the school and girls get touched by boys here and the school does nothing about it no one gets moved or their schedule changed or suspended and they don't realise students and if u are late u get detention even if its the teacher's fault, students get told to shut the f up and cussed at by teachers, and students often get depression here and teachers pick on students who have a hard time here i could go on and on about whats wrong with this school but please dont send ur child here, it'll be ur biggest mistake as a parent wether ur child tells u anything or not.

Lots of bullying going unchecked at this school.

The Best Middle School in the World!-In name only. This school has a very bad reputation for violence and bullying going unchecked. Bullies are protected at this school. Most of the staff here come off as standoffish and rude. Some appear to only be here for a paycheck, but there are few here that are invested in their jobs. Please beware of this school.

My eldest daughter excelled academically at Fort for the whole 3 years she was in attendance BUT she was in both their magnet & gifted programs. The staff was always wonderful but the children were ill behaved & would be gravely distracting to a child who still struggles in 5th grade & already finds it difficult to focus (my soon-to-be middle schooler!). My eldest found it easy to ignore bullies & student fighting episodes & simply focused on preparing for high school. Not sure my other child can do that. As education is the goal, I will be looking into other schools for her. Overall we had a wonderful experience. Love the staff though! They work lovingly hard for their shepard's pay & it shows!

Fort Middle School Columbus GA is garbage!!!! My child was jumped on twice and they did nothing about it but wanted to suspend my child. My child has never been in trouble EVER!!!! The people are ghetto!!!!! If your child dresses like garbage they will have friends falling at there feet but if your child dresses nice they will get attacked. Please please do not let your child go to this school it needs to be shut down!!!!!
