My kid comes home every day crying because of her toxic friends bullying her. There is also vaping and jeweling I don't want this around my kid, and the funny thing is that the teachers don't even notice while their too busy checking for kids having hoods on or stupid dress code stuff. And the teachers don't even the papers and it takes five weeks to get kids papers back and most teachers aren't even good there is few teachers that are even decent.

PSM has exceeded my expectations. My daughter has been challenged to learn and explore new extracurriculars. The principal is fantastic, just the right blend of stern and funny which is perfect for middle school. The teachers are very engaged and care about the students.
