I'm currently a 7th grade student at Crabapple Middle School and I find that the school system there could really be better, one example of this, is that we don't use the lockers at school, and we really should! I carry at least ten pounds over the recommended healthy limit for my weight! (I really need to wrap this up because I have homework, and its a Friday, also I'm not writing this to be like all those students who don't study, get all the answers wrong and complain about it) Close Quote

Great accommodations & resources for my ADHD daughter. Awesome options for connections classes. Close Quote

The admin is not happy to or wants to work with parents. They act as if they know the best for our children and they don't want parent input. Rako and Thweat act like elitist! Your students and parents should be worked with cooperatively not dictated to! The 2 starts are for the handful of really good teachers that were there before Rako! Close Quote

As a parent I have to say that my child is very well served at CMS, however the new administration has caused the morale of the faculty to drop dramatically. I'm privy to more than the average parent because I'm very active in the school and am there several times week. The new principal is not respectful of her faculty and the result is that they do not respect her. I've had 2 children go through CMS and my 3rd is there now and it breaks my heart to see so many hard working, outstanding teachers feeling so under appreciated to the point that several have mentioned leaving or quitting.

Although test scores are through the roof, this school's structure does not prepare students for high school. MOST of the freshman that are failing by December are from Crabapple Middle Close Quote
