I would like to give a special thanks to all his teachers that made this happened and you know who you are and working with my son to reach his goals, advancement in learning to go to the next level which is nineth grade. Just encourage him to do good and well all work together. To go forward. This is a great school for my son.

My son started here this year and what a disappointment it is! He is a well behaved, straight "A" student and he has to put up with disrespectful foul mouth kids that don't care. Which in-turn makes the teachers just give up. He is getting far less than what he deserves here. So am I forced to go into private school as my tax money goes to public school?!? If you have a choice, don't choose this school. Im embarrasses for the kids I see coming out of this school and how they are acting and the language is horrific while teachers stand right there! I should be able to pick the school my child gets to go to but we are forced to be miserable here for the next three years! Outraged parent!

I am pulling my child out and sending her to Mardela Middle and High School. This school is failing the students, and it seems like the central office just has no idea what to do. The teachers all seem like they want to give up, and it's no wonder given all of the problems in this place. If even half of what my daughter is telling me is true about discipline, then this place is nothing more than a juvenile holding facility. the Principal is nowhere to be seen, and Mr. Charlton (the only administrator trying to do anything) just can't do it all. I heard he is going to be a supervisor, and if that is true, the whole place will collapse when he goes. Mr. Emmert 9 a teacher there) is trying his best too, and I think he gives 110%, but he is only one of a handful of teachers that are trying to teach these kids.Get your kids out of there!

The students here seem to have no parents and more teaches who do not care than ones who do. Pregnancies -sexual activity are daily aspects of the lives of these children. My daughter has become withdrawn since attending this school with so many children who are more than a little rough around the edges. She has made a decision not to do her class work and just sit with her head down. I was never notified until I made the effort to go in and see what was happing. I was informed that her choice not to participate or do work was a daily occurrence. No discipline action was taken when she decided not to do the work even after I reached out for them. I will not name names but many of the teachers there clearly have the attitude that they only need to show up, pass out work, and hope for the best. They are not proactive in teaching! I have saved e-mails from several of the teachers who clearly state my daughter has chosen not to do her work, and they are not going to do any just allow her to continue to sit with her head down. I guess, as long as she is not disrupting them they will not act. It disgusts me that we pay these types of teaches anything more than a babysitters salary.

A child in the special program with an average no greater than 20% out of a hundred, falling asleep in class almost everyday, and refusing to participate on 90% percent of the activities, in my opinion, and technically should have failed and repeated the grade. What did this school do? Wow, great idea, pass him to the next grade. At that rate, he'll be in HS, and have the skills and knowledge of a 5th grader...

My son was in the special ed program at this school and I can't say very many positive things about it. The teachers were disrespectful of his specialized diet restrictions and he regularly had major injuries while under their "supervision". We fought the teachers and administration for 3 years, and it wasn't until we threatened legal action for negligence that the Board of Education finally got involved. I'm sure it's a decent school for "normal" kids, but if you have a disabled child, you might want to look elsewhere.
