Teachers have total dis-interest in teaching and children advancing. There's no clear communication between the parents and the school. If I have to do everything at home, there's no point in going to school. All my child has learned at Robert Frost is bad behavior, laziness and lies. We are seriously thinking about changing school district.

I only attended Frost for a year but I can say that I developed lots of friendships and bonds with the teachers and staff here. You can ask other students around you if there is one kid you should look out for, or if there is one popular kid in the school everybody should know and they all say, "There really isn't anybody. Everybody is the same--we're just equal." And that sentence said so much to me. The students are nice and there really isn't any bullying but there was this one girl who got into fights often. Other than that, everybody was normal, nice and were very friendly. I definitely didn't witness any bullying, harassment or teasing. On school grounds or out of school grounds. But I have to say, the teachers are the best. In my opinion, the science department was the best. They are incredibly devoted to you and care about you more than anything. They make the learning environment so much more fun, upbeat, inspiring and dedicated. The one French teacher, Madame Temkin is an absolute sweetheart. The way she teaches her class and has so much patience is crazy! I'm not saying that the students are wild, but the students who choose French tend to be more philosophical and open minded. I take French, and let me just say; conjugations and pronouns are hard. She always makes sure to dedicate her time to her students and makes learning in French and fun! In my books, she is a natural teacher. The History department is mild. There is one teacher from the History department that stuck out to me the most, Mr. Anton. He is just so inspiring and motivated. That's all I'm going to say, he just has the sweetest heart for his students. Math and English department is pretty cool too, the math teachers may seem a little intimidating, especially Mrs. Gagnon but compared to other Geometry teachers she is the best. Her and Mr. Settlage make a pretty cool duo. They're both funny and have that sarcastic humor that everybody can understand. Mr. Settlage is from the English department and he is a walking, talking, living dad joke. He makes dad jokes 25/8. He starts class of with a dad joke, and incorporates dad jokes in between class that ties in with the material. I learned a lot here at Frost more than any other school in the county. At Frost, there isn't a lot of variety with the clubs. Also, students here are extremely competitive. Some classes might go faster than others, depending on who's in there. Overall, this is the best middle school in the county!

RFMS is the best school ever! I'm a current student at this school and it's amazing! The students in my grade level are super nice and very talented. As far as I know, there isn't any bullying. Dr. Jones is the best principal ever!! He cares about the students so much and is very dedicated to the school. We do so many fun activities and there are many clubs you can join. The math team and Science Bowl team are awesome! I looked forward to school everyday (until COVID-19 came along)! The teachers teach very well and the teachers I had this year were great, and the students are very smart! If you are looking for an awesome school, please consider Frost MS (as well as the elementary schools and high school)!! Thanks for reading.

I just finished my first 7th grade year at Robert Frost Middle School. I was new this year so it was very hard to adjust to this new environment. At first I thought this school was okay but when the year went on and I started to experience a problem with a teacher of mine I went to my counselor; the first time I had ever talked to her. The first time I talked to her she was nice but she promised that things would change quickly but they didnt so I went back after a week. I went to a different counselor this time and she was rude: She mocked me as I was speaking and said that they were getting to my situation!! Many more weeks passed by but they never did anything. I was too scared to go back and say something but I was too afraid to speak cause I thought the one counselor was gonna mock me agian. I hope the counselors read this and take it into consideration and thank god its my last year at frost. I will never go to the counselors again and if I experience a problem again Im going straight to the principle. Thank you for reading this.

My son felt very comfortable being in Frost MS environment. Bullying is not tolerated and immediately resolved based on other schools in different state. Much of it has to do with parents involvement. I recommend highly!

A blue ribbon school of excellence and it lives up to that expectation. The teachers are fantastic, very involved and energetic. The student body is very motivated and the guidance department does a great job in trying to decrease stress and anxiety in such a competitive and strong high school district (Wootton). The joint Wootton-Frost events are wonderful as the students at Frost already feel like they are part of the Wooton community and that makes the transition to high school much easier. Just a great school in very aspect.

The school is amazing! Teachers are so nice, understanding, and give us chances to prove ourselves! School is so much fun, I wake up everyday at 6:30 in the morning just to get to school on time, if not early, and everyday, we are learning something new and exciting! I would give this a 5 star review, because this school is safe, and organized, and everything runs by so smoothly, and everyone there is nice, and understanding! Teachers let us make our own choices, and we learn that even though we do good, we still do good even if no one is watching! I love this school, I hope everyone chooses to come here! :D

This is my last year at Robert Frost MS and I"m definitely going to miss it. The teachers are wonderful and humorous, the principal is really nice, and every one there is so nice and supportive. Frost teaches some advanced classes and I've noticed that not only do they teach us things we need to learn for the current year, but they prepare us for what you will learn next year.

This school is amazing and one of the very best middle schools in Maryland (#1 in my opinion); excellent school administration, counselors, teachers, students, and parents who are actively involved in every aspect of their children's education. The school administrators, counselors, and teachers are invested in providing the best for your child's education and social well being. They have several events to communicate with parents and solicit feedback along with workshops on getting your child ready for high school and even college. They are responsive to the needs of the student community despite being a larger middle school. The test scores, student academic results, and Blue Ribbon awards are indicative of the quality of this school and the parent community. This school thoroughly prepares students for the rigors of going to the academically top notch Thomas S. Wootton High School.

I go to Frost and believe it is a school of great teachers. They strive daily to be the best they can be for the students with the exception of a few who shall not be named. The principal, Dr. Jones is loved by the students and as far as I am aware, by the staff and parents too. However it does have a good deal of problems with bullying and disciplinary action has failed to do much good. Most administrators fail to connect on a personal level and seem distant and unapproachable to most. I personally would only come to them with a problem if someone was being harassed constantly or in danger. Another reason I fail to be completely satisfied with the school is that it has limited the social time to lunch and 3 20 minute blocks a week. Where children finally get to sit down five minutes into lunch and are dismissed five before it is over which is a gross mismanagement of time. As for "SOAR" which is the 20 minute block 3 times a week, the students may only go to teachers they currently have and are all but told to get help from retake quizzes every single time. Well, that is my rant, and if I had to send a child of my own to Frost or somewhere like Eastern, they're going to Frost.
