This school seems to pick on certain students that made friends with each other...and only listening to one. Some don't care about their students...they just want to pick at everything.

Meisler! Just the name makes me cringe! My time at this school was the worst year of my life. Some of the teachers actually care but it is a very few handful of them. I had two teachers out of eight that actually seemed to enjoy their job the others acted like they were in prison! If you were smart and actually tried in school the people who have no class (which is most of them) would try to pull you down in any way possible. Fights were an everyday thing at this school. Administration was another problem. The principal has no control over the school and the assistant principal allows absolutely nothing religious. If you wear a cross he writes you up and takes it away. The dean on the other hand is probably one of the few good things about this school. He gets involved with the students and is very fair. The office staff as well is a pleasure! Overall this school is terrible it is the epitome of disgust. I would never send my children there and I am very grateful I no longer go to this school.

Horrible school! The teachers and activities are great, but what gives this school a 1 (I wish I could give 0.5) is the students. They are the worst ever! So many bullies! They have dirty minds and they think doing wrong stuff is cool. Kids who are smart are called nerds and unpopular. SO MEAN KIDS!

Due to the incompetence of the leadership (i.e. principal and school counselor) the school is run as a totalitarian regime. Do not trust the administrative leadership of the school. You will be fooling yourself if you think so otherwise. I feel sorry for the wonderful teachers.

Not a very good school, but okay I guess. Pros: Teachers' teaching method and behavior towards students is Great. Many Awards and Festivals. Extra-curricular Activities. Cons: 1) You WILL get suspended for self-defense even if you didn't start a fight and were JUST DEFENDING by PUSHING someone OFF OF YOU. ( I almost got suspended for self-defense!) 2)Students behavior is the WORST I HAVE !EVER! Seen. Rating: 1.5/10 3) Curse words are normal. EVEN MY BUS DRIVER CURSES. BOTTOM LINE- This school is so bad that bus drivers curse!!

YOUR KIDS START SO MUCH DRAMA ON MY BLOCK YOU NEED TO CONTROL THEM MORE WHEN THEY GET OUT OF SCHOOL IF YA'LL DONT THEN I WILL TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO HAVE YA'LL NOT LET THEM WALK DOWN THIS STREET BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS TALK A LOT OF MESS TO MY NEIGHBORS LIKE LEANING ON THARE CARS THROWING TRASH EVERYWHERE TRYING TO START FIGHTS ETC. IM TIRED OF THIS IT NEEDS TO STOP ASAP!!!!!!

I had previously taken my son out of this school due to a few issues with teachers that was ignored by the Principle. I have re enrolled my son back there since the new principle and she has turned this school around for the better. Now I rate this school as a really good school/

My son was expelled after the school called me. They acted what had happened was not a big deal & did not need me to go there. Although I told them I could get the thruth out of my son so I went. In 2 minutes he told me the truth, but not everything. The detective who was there let the other boy go saying he did not do anything & there was no evidence on either except my son told the truth. They should have questioned the boys together, but did not. After getting my son home, the whole story (am sure some things are left out) When we went to meet with all to appeal, my son was scared (he said after the hearing) and that is why he did not speak out. Yes, my son is paying for what he did. I am just really mad at myself and my son. Neither of us mentioned the other boy. My children know that if they tell the truth it won't be as bad as if I would find out later. What my son did was really bad, but I feel the consequence given was not fair! I hope my son will still tell the truth, because he did tell the truth & I believe the consequence was not fair! Especially, not having the boys questioned together. The other boy did not get in trouble at all; how is that fair?

This school is hard to understand. If u have any imperfections such as things u may think people may make fun of like short hair, cock eyed, and BO legged etc. people will talk about u in front ur face i know because i saw it happen with students there and i would say o that wrong or something but there is to many fights and very disrespectful students. so if u have a choice to pick this school i would say no don't do it,its better if u were here last year but if u weren't u up a creek without a paddle.

My stepson is in the 8th grade special education classes. This school does very little to help your child be successful. One teacher in particular (Ms. Ruppert) suppossedly has a back ground in special ed but she belittles my son in front of other children. This school does not give all the accommidations that are needed for their success. I have a son that is going into middle school next year with a learning disability and my heart is grieved that this is the only middle school in my distrist (cant afford private) cause I know he will be pushed aside

My stepson attends Meisler and is in special education. Only a person who he feels truly cares for him can keep his attention on school work. Ms Poche is an excellent teacher and it is a credit to Meisler Middle School for the attention they give to special needs children!! Thank you!!

I've got friends there and the school is really fun, BUT I RECOMMEND U NOT TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL, the teachers r nice BUT there are always a lot of fights there one time there was a HUGE FIGHT and teachers got hurt cuz they were trying to stop it and then the people that were fighting got arrested and then polices had to surround the school.

Hi, I'm currently a 7th grader at Meisler and it's amazing. Of course it has those teenager cliches, but the school is great. The principle, Mr. Fallon, is one cool person, he goes around class sometimes, he's a busy guy though. He's in love with LSU, and we find it funny how the 8th grade Algebra teacher loves Tulane and they're against each other. It's amazing, I promise. It's better than Adams or Roosevelt. The teachers are cool and always finding a way to help. There's tutoring for math and English. And the pep rallys are always fun and excitement is high. So, yes, I would reccomend this school.
