Good school but they seem to care about the social aspect of school only academics. No dances and kids aren’t allowed to set with other students outside their during lunch, and recess I once a week. Academics are important but social skills are equally important. Close Quote

This school is in need of diversity from Leadership to Educators. They need to have a strong zero tolerance for bullying and they do not. In a time where students have taken their life for being mistreated/bullied all schools should consider having a plan of action to remove such behaviors. Educators in this school can be impatient and speak disrespectfully to students in front their peers and are often time confrontational with students who cause no issues. They need to have respect from Leaders and Teachers to ALL students. There needs to be a priotiy place on the sense of urgency when bullying, harassing or issues students need discipline occur. While all Teachers need to have the ability to educate this school appears to employ and seek those that are not of a minority background or race. A STRONG change needs to be inserted and investigated into these matters for River Trail Middle School because some of their actions are news worthy Close Quote

River Trail Middle School does not care about the students or Parents that have concerns. The area superintendent, Moran, has not addressed our concerns that were sent to her over a week ago. The administration does not follow the policies or the procedures in the Fulton County Code of Conduct manual. If your child has any type of disability, ADD, Auditory processing issues, etc. do not send your child to this school even with an IEP they do not receive the proper services. If your child needs minor, and I mean minor, services they do not provide them. You will be exhausted fighting for your child to get an education if they need any services. I have had two kids attend this school and one of my kids needs minor services while the other did not need any and I was and still am very disappointed with this school. If I had to do it all over again I will take more time talking with the parents at the school during car pool than looking at test scores via the Internet. Close Quote
