5/1/2018
My experience at Sylvester Middle School has been a fine experience since the school hasn't been a wild troubled educational building. The students however hasn't been the best since fights and bullying has been common throughout my years there. What I like is the faculty which are willing to help students succeed and prepare them for the future. What must change is better safety for the students and better security since fights have risen ever since I left the school. Many students have felt unsafe at the school since the staff hasn't been doing much to keep the students safe from each other. They do well at helping the student succeed but they need to work on keeping the student safe.
