Im one of the students that go to this school and the teachers in this school is absolutly horrible. staff doesnt even know what they are doing. Some of the teachers in this school are racist and have no manners. They also contact your parents for the littlest reason ever. They honestly dont know how to do their job and, they are always looking for problems. DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL

Someone who graduated almost 3 years ago, this school is a dumpster fire of a mess. The teachers were decent, the lunch was just your average disgusting food, and students act like animals. The principal that I had was bad at managing the whole school. Constant bullying like always due to my weight. Anyone whos a parent reading this, either take your child to another school, or just send him to private school. This school will forever remain one of the most terrible schools of Trenton NJ.

This school and its staff need to do better

As a student at Grace A. Dunn middle school, I have experienced many different subjects like the students running around crazy or how loud they get. The school has a small portion of students that behave well and these students also get good grades. The other students at this school behave like animals, they run around, they are loud, and some dis- respect their teachers and classmates. The school is great and has a lot of potential to help these students achieve their goals. This is why I rate Dunn as 4 stars. * * * *

This school is terrible. Students run around the school like it's a playground. And they don't even get punished for it. There was also a student who got stabbed with a pencil by another student until they bled. The students are horrible influences.

This school is a complete disaster. The students are totally out of control & the staff have no idea what to do about it. Students get jumped & bullied on a regular basis. The disciplinary issues take center stage instead of learning. I panicked when it was my child's time to go there. I had to enroll him in private school because I could not imagine him attending this school. As a parent, I suggest you do whatever it takes to keep your child out of this school.

This is a truly great school I give it 5 stars. My teachers were very persistent, they would never give up on a student no matter how ignorant a student was
