I went to this school for the Horizons program and strongly advise any parent against sending their child here, the school is not that great, especially considering a lot of teachers and students here are rather unproductive which is such a shame for the few hardworking staff at this school

As a student this school is very all over the place the schedule changes every day some teachers are nice some mean bullying is not taken seriously and there is a lot of fights. Sometimes teachers don't supervise and kids get hurt. One kid broke his head and no one was there to make sure he was ok or to make sure no one got hurt. We tried calling the office, the staff was slow to get out

We have a new principal this year but overall I have been very impressed with her plans and whats to come. The building is spotless, shes cleaned up common areas that needed it, and most importantly shes made very intentional decisions about new hires. IMO some teachers from the past few years were just coasting and were allowed to do so since they were a warm adult body. I also didnt like how some student behavior was dismissed because he/she was an athlete. Time to bring back academics first - sports are not the priority at a IB school. Good things are coming!

The school overall is horrible and every teacher picks on the students even if it is indirect the cleanliness is a 0/10 and the administrators never do their job and they only focus on the least of their problems.

I love my teachers i just feel that the administration is lacking we are receiving a new principal so that should change soon.

Overall, not a great school. Many of the teachers are very nice, however, some are not so, and the learning environment is unbelievably terrible. RMS says they will take action about bullying and other major things, but the counselors only take action on the little things, for example throwing an orange peel at a student and skirts 1 nanometer too short. Also, the Special Education programs (E.G. Extensions and Horizons) are treated terribly, and they only think about the IB Majority. Many of the faculty blame the students and teachers for a lot of this, but in reality, it is mostly the school's fault.

Title: A Complete Disaster - 1 Star Review for [Randolph Middle]

Review:

Where do I even begin? My experience at [RMS] was an absolute nightmare. I cannot stress enough how terrible this institution truly is. From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I could tell that things were not going to go well.

First and foremost, the facilities at [RMS] are extremely outdated and in desperate need of renovation. The classrooms are cramped and uncomfortable, making it nearly impossible to focus on learning. The lack of proper ventilation only added to the claustrophobic atmosphere, leading to constant distractions and an overall unpleasant experience.

The quality of education at [RMS] is abysmal. The majority of the teachers are disinterested and uninspiring. It felt as though they were simply going through the motions, without any genuine passion or desire to educate. The curriculum itself is outdated and fails to keep up with the ever-changing demands of the modern world. It's no wonder that graduates from this school struggle to find success in the real world.

Moreover, the administration at [RMS] is completely incompetent. They are unresponsive to the needs and concerns of students, often neglecting to address important issues. The lack of communication and transparency is utterly frustrating. It's as if they have no interest in creating a supportive and nurturing environment for students.

The overall atmosphere and culture at [RMS] are toxic. Bullying and discrimination are prevalent, with little to no intervention from the faculty. It's disheartening to witness such a complete disregard for the well-being of students. The lack of extracurricular activities and opportunities outside of the classroom only exacerbates the negative environment.

To summarize, [RMS] is a complete disaster. The outdated facilities, uninspiring teachers, incompetent administration, and toxic atmosphere make it an institution that should be avoided at all costs. As a student who endured the misfortune of attending this school, I strongly urge parents and students to consider alternatives for a better education and overall experience elsewhere.

We have (overall) been very happy with RMS. There is a good homework/life balance and in most classes the students are given an opportunity to do the work in class, homework is just what is unfinished. The teachers my student has are engaged and are passionate about their subject and they all get that humor needs to be injected throughout the day, because, well, it's middle school. The admin team is responsive and available. I cannot recall a time, honestly, when I had a question that wasn't addressed. Same with school counselors, they're very responsive and will help navigate SEL issues, class change requests, conferences, etc. The initiated in school clubs this year so that EVERY child has an opportunity to participate in clubs during the school day, which eliminated the transportation barrier that many have to before or after school clubs. The PTO is active, engaged, and supportive and there are many volunteer opportunities to get involved. My only wish for Randolph is that they were considered for a new building. The campus is huge, and they've done the best with what they have (that's a CMS issue, not RMS), but parts of the school are aging and in need of improvements.

Randolph has really declined in 2021-22. There are still pockets of the school which are strong. However, the overall learning environment has been poor with little enforcement of rules leading to high levels of student misbehavior and disrespect toward teachers. Academic standards continue to be lowered to ensure students test reasonably well and pass courses. However, strong academic learning is low except for some classes which are filled with stronger students. The new 21-22 administration has not been effective. There is potential for Randolph but it needs a big turnaround in student behavior, learning environment, and support for teachers.

Constant fights every week, Teachers forced to break it up. Overall Safety issues entirely for the students against each other. one week they can be friends the next they would start throwing hands at each other. also apparently students have been bringing "weed" into the school and using it in areas where teachers can see also vapes are a big thing too.

I had an amazing time at randolph. I felt like i was always included in activities around the school. Randolph has a number of amazing clubs that spark an interest for almost anyone. I was student council president for my 8th grade year. There's clubs from Soccer to anime and Show choir to GSA. The sports are ok. Most of our teams are really good at what they do. The classes can be challenging if that's what you're looking for. As long as you stay focused, you'll do great!

The teachers make our environment safe and welcoming.

Posted: October 6, 2020

We learn to have good character in all of our classes.

Posted: October 6, 2020

There are lots of good leadership roles.

Posted: October 6, 2020

Nobody is treated different based of a learning difference and is given help when needed.

Posted: October 6, 2020

We have lots of behavior specialist that help resolve conflicts before the get out of hand.

Posted: May 25, 2019

The school is generally very diverse and nobody bullies anyone. :)

Awesome. Well behaved children. I love it here.

This is my son second year and he loves it. He is happy and doing really well at Randolph. I am so glad that he is enjoying his middle years there. He is also a straight A's student and also taking high school math. I am very proud of him and all the hard work he puts in at this school. If your child willing to work hard, he or she will excel at Randolph Middle. Wish they have Boys Tennis so my son can join. Overall, this school is great and all the teachers are great! Maybe, a lil remodeling would be great because the school is really old. Other than that, I am happy and my child is happy. Thank you!
