Wow. What a ride it was.
Let me lay down MULTIPLE experiences I am having here currently or have had here previously:


*A student — who is of the African American race, please ensure that you remember this — play fought with another African American student, and the both of them were almost formalled, a term meaning to be suspended from school for 60 days. Now, let's take a look at the experiences of the Caucasian students. Two Caucasian boys had play fought, and they received mere lunch detention.

*Another student of the African American race had violated the dress code due to wearing crocs, and was given in-school suspension for 3 days. However, another Caucasian student did this and was only given a warning and provided different shoes to change into. Seeing any patterns yet?

*One of the last significant race-related events I can recall at the moment is when an African American girl and a Caucasian girl had worn V-neck shirts. The African American girl had been given a stern talking to, whilst the Caucasian girl had not an eye bat her way. How odd, don't you think? It may also be important to note that the Caucasian girl wore V-necks more than any other shirts, so the excuse of "Oh, they didn't see it!" cannot be used in a valid sense.

*In a science project, we were instructed to swab out areas of the school and allow it to grow on an enclosed beet. One group selected the cafeteria vents to swab. Days later, after executing this process, the group went over to examine their beet and found that, unlike the other groups that simply grew mold, their beet had grown veins. Looking back upon this event, the fungus grown may have been rhodotus.

*One Friday some years ago, a student was caught with a vape hiding in her bra. This led to a chain reaction of the teachers locating a number of between 13 to 16 vapes, all within a 6th grade homeroom of 25. It later came to my attention that there were even MORE students in this single homeroom with vapes, however they managed to hide them better than the others and hadn't gotten ratted out by a peer.


There are MANY more events I could converse of, however I am nearly at the character limit and by reading the guidelines, I do not believe it to be possible to submit a second review. So, when choosing a school for your precious child to attend, I hope that you can choose wisely.

God, I cannot wait to graduate.

I have graduated from this school and have since graduated from high school and am now in college. I am a Penn state student. This is why my review is at a 2 star, however I am fairly certain I am the only student from my year of graduation who went to college or even trade school. I would say that some teachers in this school are very good like Mrs. Proietto and Mr. Gough but others were definitly not. I love this school and want to visit soon to see my old teachers and I would recommend this school if living in or near the lovejoy area (would not recommend If any other middle school is closer however)

I wish that students who are showing behavioral and anger issues at an earlier grade level, are given an earlier intervention so that they and their parents can get the help and support that they need to achieve success. This earlier intervention will dramatically improve the learning environment for the suffering child but also improve the learning environment for the students and teaching proffessionals in the school.

I really like this school. My daughter has been going here for 2 years now and she really enjoys it a lot as well. They have a lot of activities for the children and their families. The only complaint that I would have is they could use more teachers and less children in a class room.
