Administration and Students are very racist! If your child is African-American or mulatto, please do not send your child to the school!! They will not get a fair chance at education, sports, or anything else in Edward Town middle. The bullying of African-American students and mulatto students is absolutely horrible, and when reported, is swept under the rug by Administration. If you think it won't happen to your student, you are sadly mistaken. Send your African-American or Mulatto student to this school at your own risk! THEY DO NOT WANT OUR STUDENTS THERE!! Close Quote
