4.0 Middle School Student

5/1/2017

It was a great school, filled with very lovely teachers and staff, who are always eager to help you with all sorts of problems. One thing that I would change are the regulations that you can't be in the hallways during lunch or anything like that. Plus, the cafeterias are kinda uncomfortable. There's no such thing as privacy. Other than that, it's fine!!!

Everyone is kind to others, we don't judge by looks, clothes. We think that it is only fair to judge by actions. Praire Middle School students sometimes make mistakes, but we know that were just being human beings. We challenge ourselves with grades and competitiveness in sports. No matter what race you are, you are always welcome to our family.

Terrible in everything. Harassment and racism is a normal thing to these students. Teachers give too much homework and schedules change because staff can’t communicate properly

Im currently a student and i must say, this school is quite honeslty not the school you might be looking for. The counselor and mental support team here is great. However most of the students are HIGHLY racist to one another. I cant even go 50 seconds in recess without being called a racial slur. So...

So I’m a student here at prairie and there’s a lot to unpack. There is absolutely no punishment for kids who bully,fight,harass, etc. Of course there’s the usual suspension but when they come back they go right back to behaving the same way and the teachers make no note of it and it seems like they...
