1.0 Freshman

10/14/2025

I was here for all years of my middle school, and it was horrible. The teachers don't care, the kids fight like every day, (especially 7th grade), and the teachers don't do anything. We've had bathroom time taken away from us so kids "stop fighting", but it didn't solve anything. The food is disgusting, administration and teachers don't care, and every year was like torture.

This school is terrible, I got suspended for looking up a type of gun because I was confused about what it was.

I would like to see the teachers more engaged with the students and actually sit down and teach them things instead of making them learn it on their own.

My experience as a parent has been very positive. The transition to middle school and a new area can be tough, but the school staff has been welcoming from day one. Every faculty member I've dealt with has been positive and helpful. While I see many reviews from both students and parents, it's appar...

This is by far the worst school I’ve ever experienced. Scott Highlands Middle School is not a safe environment for students who aren’t white—especially Black students. I was called the hard R five times, completely unprovoked, by another student, and there were no consequences. There is also a teach...

People are talking about how the teachers do not break up fights, I do NOT know what school they are talking about, but it is definitely not this school, this school is amazing. The teachers give time for assignments. Teachers hand out 0-2 assignments each day. And it is a safe, non-racist and LGBTQ...
