Friday, September 17, 2021

I have had 3 kids attend this middle school. School bullying and violence are not uncommon. I currently have a 6th grader who within the first 2 weeks has been assaulted. During this initial altercation, which stemmed from my son not being allowed to be in an area they deemed as theirs, was punched in the nose and now has become a target for a group of kids. The administration seems uninterested or unwilling to address any of it and this is why the middle school has the reputation it does. Close Quote
