Larue County Middle School

Posted: December 6, 2014

I'm a current student at said school,so I know what It's like to attend.I see things that a lot of people don't see. THE GOOD: ~A vast majority of the staff is friendly.There are only a few stinkers,looking to ruin your day here. ~ The majority of the teachers are patient with the students. ~In terms of education,The students here (including myself.Not to brag,but I consider myself intelligent) are superb when it comes to intelligence.Not all students are,but when one is...they're GENIUS. THE BAD: ~The Cafeteria Food.In elementary school,the food was great. The lunch ladies made these GIANT chocolate muffins,with chocolate chips,and goey melted chocolate within. It was superb,but it sadly doesn't exist anymore. #thanksmichelleobama ~ The school is really clique based. If you're a student that is "in the clique" (participating in sports,etc),You're automatically a star student.Accepted by all. ~The choir program is terrible. The children who are in it CAN'T sing.They literally couldn't sing their way out of a wet paper sack. ~No Student body council.God,I've been preaching for years. LET US ELECT ONE! #ENDRANT

We moved from a larger school district into Larue County School District. A few good things about this school...dress code is fair and reasonable. The school is safe and for the most part teachers are fair. I would say the education they get is pretty standard compared to other grades in the state and around the country. A few things not so good about the school...there is no "No Tolerance for bullying" like they claim (at least not on the buses). My kids deal with bullies on the bus nearly every day and despite complaining to the driver, nothing is done. I will step in at this point and start filing complaints with the bus dept. Secondly, while I think it is good for kids to learn through technology, I don't think they should rely solely on technology for their learning. They get to use laptops at school, but there is a $20 fee for the year and not a single person can answer what the fee is for. In addition, should something happen to the laptop including the power cord, whether accident or intentional, the parent is stuck with the charge. Even if it's another kids' fault. The reliance on technology is why are kids can't spell and write anymore.

Great school!! Both of my boys have gone there. The only thing I don't like is it is divided between two buildings.... but that can be a good thing too because the younger kids have there own building.
