I think bullying where you know it's happening but you turn an eye to it is a problem. There is one assistant principal that is part of the problem and has made kids not want to go to them with issues. I think the new principal Mr. Becker is doing a great job with engagement with his staff. Having quarterly meetings with the entire class of kids separately. (7, 8 and 9th) to go over rules and allow open discussions is beneficial so there is no confusion. Hoping to see kids that shouldn't be there are going to their own school not Muhlenberg if they moved out of the district.

There's a bomb threat at least once a month. Today, December 2021, there has been a total of 2 bomb threats just this month. What exactly is this school doing to deter kids from making these threats???!?

For a parent who looks from outside of the school and doesn't investigate anything about the school, it would seem that it's decent at most. But as a student who has attended this school from K-8 I think this school is a joke. Unprofessional teachers and staff lurk around every corner. Most of the t...

My child had to deal with bullying which wasn't handled appropriately. His special education plan wasn't being followed and I had to deal with many arrogant and ignorant teachers along the way. Disrespect towards teachers and others seems to be the "norm" here.
