Stricker is a terrible school. Kids get bullied and there plenty of fights. Teachers are terrible at there jobs and there is so many missing teachers. Some teachers touch students of the head even when the student said they didnt wanna be touch. Generally a bad school and do not recommend.

My mental health is..Not great, to say the least, the counselors and the staff are very nice though, they help me through it. But if you send ur child here, just know if they are alternative, quiet, diagnosed with anything such as autism, or even like depression and social anxiety, they're gonna have a bad time. The kids in the school are disrespectful, racist..

Im a current student and all they care about is the Phone policy and some of the teachers are rude and I wrote a statement and nobody did nothing about it

This is a horrible school, teachers/staff do not care about safety, they only care about if you have your phone.

Its amazing how many videos I have seen from cell phones taking during class..my daughter told me teachers will allow them to be in them when they are done their work..really this is school? Kids are taping teachers..fights n making tik Toks all during school hours..so much for learning

In my opinion this school doesn't really do anything, it doesn't do anything for bullying, the teachers let kids yell and swear and they say they will call their parents BUT NEVER DO. Some teachers are really nice but many of them just don't teach, favorite kids, and scream all the time. It gives me a headache everytime I enter a certain class, the teacher yells every 20 seconds, the teacher Is nice to me though. They always put the kid who self defends their self in more trouble the the bully. its messed up and they need to help with bullying,

No wonder why they need to put a suicide hotline number on the back of the passes. Horrible school, admins/teachers dont care about your safety, they do nothing about bullyijg and theres fights all the time with no consequences

Overall this school is horrible, do not torture your child to this.

General Jhon stricker has been ignoring many bullying and I should know because I was beating up 4 times last school year and they did do anything

I may be one of the few that actually didn't hate this school but I had teachers I could trust and talk to. The school facilitator is improving school extracurriculars. This school would've been a 4 or even 5 star school to me if I felt safe.

This school is the WORST this school is always trashed by the older grades and moving to 7th grade this is going to be hell why you may ask here why this school has a fight almost every day and the kids with disabilities are bullied and get almost no respect and teachers if you cool with them teaching they cool with you but these students are rude and disrespectfull

Im a student at General John Stricker and I dont not recommend this school. They do not care about the bullying It took almost a week to even look into a situation I had. This school cares more about hoodies and phones then the kids safety

This school is awful, Every day, every hour, every minute of this school is misery; The teachers don't handle the classes as expected, Your child will be physically and mentally harassed as the students don't get consequences for their actions; Iv'e seen many reviews that are inaccurate and are left by staff of the school. People don't actually rate this school 5 stars, they are bot generated please don't get misled by these reviews. Now time for my actual experiences at this school; About every day a kid gets into a fight and every single student here has at least had a hostile experience here. I

My experience has been great compared to other schools i've been at! It's very clean, students are much kinder and open-minded, the only problem is a few staff members who over react and don't properly follow protocol. I have had a great time here otherwise!

Posted: December 10, 2019

We don't have a lot of homework but that is good in my case as having more than one or two assignment stresses me out really badly

Posted: December 10, 2019

students are very kind usually and the ones who aren't usually have some form of trust or anxiety issues

Posted: December 10, 2019

i have been supported way better here than anywhere else

Posted: December 10, 2019

everything is quickly taken care of usually

Posted: December 11, 2018

I feel as though some of the teachers are helpful while others arent, students dont feel as though they can approach their teacher do to the bullying that goes on in the school.

Posted: December 11, 2018

I would rate my experience with the school in between one and five as a two and thats only because of some of the experience I had was good while most of it was not.School deals with some bowling, but you have to be careful, the school resource staff did not effectively do their job when my child was being bullied. So just be very per cautious about the school.

Posted: December 11, 2018

My daughter has never gotten homework. Contact the school about it and they stated to me that it was not necessary.

Posted: December 11, 2018

I feel as though the school tries but not hard enough, some of the children are lacking due to the fact that they allow a lot of bad behaviors to be excused.

Posted: December 11, 2018

The principal does her best and trying to help children be a positive aspect for other children and build a strong foundation.

I just finished 6th grade at Stricker! I am in all GT classes and they were excellent! I learned a lot from my teachers and they were the best! I love school and think this is an amazing one! All the classes are great and the bad reviews below are supprising! They are extremely exaggerated and just give the school a low score it doesn't deserve!

Posted: July 24, 2017

Teachers are awesome! They are kind but show the right amount of authority if needed.

Posted: May 5, 2017

This school has many problems with fighting students both inside the classroom and hallways. The administration refuses to suspend or expel students. The principle has told teachers that students cannot be suspended or the school will be classified as a dangerous school. This will affect its funding and tier one status. They also openly allow for teachers to be disrespected. Many good teachers have left because of the violence and bullying. Also parents that complain are ignored.

Posted: February 15, 2017

This school does not care about the students or their future. They are setting these kids up for failure. Horrible school if you have the option to send them to another school DO IT!!, Some of the teachers do not respond to parents the only time they contact you is if your child misbehaved. Something needs to change every parent I have spoken to is having a problem with this school. The superintendent visits the school but just walks the hallways.. Maybe he should Peek in visit the classrooms pull some students and talk to them.

Most of the teachers do not give homework

Posted: April 8, 2014

I'm a student at Stricker, and I guess it's good. Some of the teachers are bad, but otherwise they are nice. I do really good there behavior and grade-wise, because I don't want to mess with those teachers! I really like gym class, even though it can be boring and tough at times.

general John stricker middle school I think is the best school for my child Brandon Williams in the city my child was not getting the education help he need but this pat year at General stricker my child has improved so much with the help of the aides and teachers there and the after school programs is good for him and he really likes going to the programs he is now trying to get into football or soccer something he would not have done a year ago thanks to General John Stricker

I think GJSMS is a terrific school and here the staff actually care about your needs! Which is very rare to get from most schools.The teachers are extrordinary i love all the clubs,programs,and events at GJSMS. Iespecially love the GT circullam they offer i am a member of their Student council(Generals council) which is a very fun but unique expierience and Quiz bowl which is a very fun extra cirricullar activity in where you compete with different scools with current funfilled questions! Over all GJSMS is one of the best Middle schools to go to and parents if you live around this area i strongly reccomend you send your child to General John Stricker Middle School!
