Would not reccomend its the worst school i have been to. alot of teachers are cruel and some just dont care about us and they dont seem to think either and 7th grade ela for bengals is terrible we cant learn because the teachers there are so rude and we dont get treated equily and it feels like a prision just because the write up people who dont do bad things for the most part. Someone stole a stylis in my class and the teacher doesnt have security footage to prove who stole it or any thing at all so what she did was write up everyone who was present in her class. the staff aint great either because they always threaten for iss (In School Suspension) and they dont care about what else we think they just dont listen to others opinions or hear us out. and when they give some people masks that dont fit them , when the mask slips down and their nose is showing the 7th grade ela teachers just dont care and writes us up anyways. it feels like all they do is write us up and threatens us because now im written up because someone in science stole a stylis and its unfair because these teachers believe anything they hear or they just believe whatever they want to believe what happened. these teachers say they dont get respect but respect is earned not given, we dont feel cared about , we feel treatened by these teachers and they treat us like we are garbage and these teachers approch us like their so nice but for the most part later there not as nice as they say they are. even 6th grade wasnt great and im not excited for 8th grade because they could be so much worse and i dont know how im gonna feel about high school because it could be so much worse and this school gives me bad thoughts constantly and when we stand up for our selfs the only thing they do is punishments such as calling parents, iss, suspention, admin. its really unfair and i wish this school will be better in 8th grade because i hate this and i personally think this school only develops people to become bad people because they always complain how bad we are mean while they get mad at us for everything and even at spanish all the teacher does is tell us to copy and paste in google translate to Spanish and put in in to a slide and they get mad when we dont understand assesment because she told us not to use google translate this time and have her read it in spanish and us copy in english mean while we dont know how to copy it in spanish because we cant read in spanish, teachers dont try listen to us.

i am going into 8th grade this year at talbot and i love it if u ask me it is the best school. although i have not been to any of the other middle schools in fall river i find talbot the best. talbot isnt the most fun or technologicly advanced like kuss or atlantis charter but we are prepared. when it comes to any subject discipline isnt a problem,but most of the kids that leave talbot in 8th grade have better chances of going to good high schools like diman or bristol agy or bishop connely and if they go to dyrfee are in a.p. classes. all i can really say is talbot gives us a good education,and a good mindset that if we work hard enough we can achieve anything.
