Mold infestation and horrible teaching methods I've gotten sick multiple times from going to this school i wouldn't recommend sending your kids here if you care about they're learning, safety, and health.

One of the worst schools I’ve ever been too. Mean children, poor teaching (most classes I ended up having to teach myself). Fights are constantly happening, They’re intruder lock downs at least twice every four weeks. Based on that review I’d hope you not send to your child to bates middle school.

I’ve been a student at this school it was really terrible,to much fights and drama. When bullies mess with people and the people who are getting bullied don’t get defended for it. Kids are really mean and are bad

Bates is great! It is a STEAM Project Based Learning school. The teachers work very hard to provide excellent learning opportunities to students. There are very few to no discipline issues. Any issues that do arise are taken care of immediately and fairly by the administration.
