This school is bad, they really dont let you see someone even if it comforts you, they tell you that if your PARENTS or GUARDIAN choose to have two teachers then you cant change that, overall they lie to you, the only good thing about this school is how safe it is but honestly this school overreacts about relationships, theyll separate you from your partner, from your siblings, or anyone thats important to you. If this doesnt make sense, in short terms; they lie to you, they dont let you around your loved ones, they never take bullying into action, and they always use the excuse for bullying that its in the past even when it still happens. If this school doesnt take accountability for how horrible it is overall, they should just shut this whole thing down. They have teachers that make kids cry on a daily too, teachers that need to get fired, but still, nothing about it.

(Student) They aint all bad but most of them need to go back to school no offense i mean like for me some the teachers like boys more than girls and some teaches like girls more than boys and that's just not professional and somr of them are so strict and have a short temper last time I checked they're teaching kids and short temper with kids dont match up together but im not gonna let some teachers mess up the whole school the hygiene needs some work cause the locker room smells like way too much sweat cause I understand smelling sweat 100% but that much is a problem but that my take. Best school in the county for SURE (yall need to get mr Freeman back)

I am a student at Tabb Middle it sucks, Everyone in the school is rude also the teachers they find any little thing to pick a argument. If you go to the school counselor with a problem they think you started it and then does nothing. There are just a few teachers that are nice. half of them are just rude I have a teacher that is super rude and does not have patience. also the bus driver are not the greatest some are also rude and get mad at anything, and it depends what bus you have but if you have a bad bus the people are just horse play all the time.
Thank you for reading this have a good day

they give you steady flow of useful homework but also do not give you a crazy amount of work so you can still have social and emotional health outside of school.

I have three children who have attended Tabb Middle School, the last one is in sixth grade right now. The other two are at Tabb High School. This school has done a terrific job giving my kids the tool set to be successful in high school. The teachers are caring, supportive and the curriculum is rigorous. I ask my kids all the time... Do you feel safe? Do you see or hear any bullying? They tell me that they always feel safe and they have not witnessed any bullying. As you walk through the halls of that school you'll notice that there are posters everywhere about anti-bullying and sensitivity and the kids have programs and such to try to educate the school population. Unfortunately there are stupid parents who teach or promote stupid things to their kids. I think this bullying incident is an isolated case. I would hope that the school is doing everything in their power to handle this situation and deal with the kids who are bullying. Too bad there isn't a way to punish the parents of these bullies!

I agree with some of the mean girl problem at this school but also agree the teachers are fantastic. Academics was why we chose this school, it is not as diverse as some of the other schools in York County which contributes to the attitude of some of the students. The principal is a good leader and seems to listen to parents. It is small enough that you're not overwhelmed with the issues of a huge school. We made the right choice sending our child here

Academics and test scores great BUT some serious mean girl mentality. Parents assume the school is academically strong in a nice neighborhood and become uninvolved in their kids life. My daughter attended this school for 7th and 8th grade. As a military child and being quiet and more reserved by nature it started off slowly making friends. It came together quickly and the academics are great BUT lots of bullying, the worst kind..the sneaky convincing girls who manipulate others to gang up on kids. I've seen it with my child and with many others...really sad and the administrators are a bit soft on this issue. If I had it to do over she wouldn't attend this school, I would have looked more into the social issues at the school before sending her somewhere. Academics are important but so are the kinds of people your child has to deal with.
