Babb middle school is okay but the way that they just shove arts into a dark corner and put most their funding on awful sport teams is oblivious. Both orchestra and chorus were taken off due to some kind of funding thing and now the only performing arts is band and media arts as well. So far i've never had a good experience with a babb middle school math teacher. Most expect the student to know everything and doesn't exactly help the student but instead screams at them and give them an unbelievable amount of work. The ELA teachers are fine theres not too much to say about them but throughout the years they have been very nice. Science teachers are a mix between nice but as-long as you get the work they won't scream or yell. Social studies teachers here are kind of harsh on kids but there are some that are nice with good teaching skills. All connection teachers are nice as well. Over all the school is pretty nice and very diverse but lots of fights and drama.

Been having my children attend this school since 2006 and never had a problem. 7 children have graduated from here and have had a blast. Never had a serious issue and when a minor issue comes up, they are quick to handling it. Great school. Been attending all 3 schools since 2000.

My experience at this school is that they don't handle student situation and problems properly. The community are great classrooms the teacher act like the students take over the classroom is something happening in their classroom instead of assisting the student that doesn't do anything to support...
