5.0 Middle School Student

3/22/2022

Skinner West is an incredible school, the teachers there are phenomenal and the learning environment is well fit to a student who wants to do his/her best to learn everything they can. The majority of the kids I know at SW are all literally 99th%ile in both reading and math. It is a great middle school for those who want to get into a selective enrollment HS.

I attended this school for my 6th and 7th year. I hated it. The bullying and mental torture I had to sustain was irradicating. Students were separated by classical and neighborhood which was very discriminatory. This school isn't all that great, I had been pushed back a year because of my fear of going back here. Now I'm 16 and a sophmore. Unless you're rich and popular, you have no luck here.

Skinner has some of the best teachers and families you’ll find anywhere. It’s a big school, so it can take a little time to find your rhythm, but those who do discover a strong, welcoming community where kids are pushed to grow.

Awful. Bullying is a huge problem. Curriculum is all over the place and each teacher just uses what they are given with no training or development.

My experience at this school in terms of academics has been great. In other areas, not so much. The school is definitely overcrowded and arrival/dismissal is a nightmare. There are 37 kids in my child's third grade classroom. There is next to no supervision and zero order to the way kids enter and e...
