Congress Community Middle School

office personnel....unprofessional to say the least! They seem to have no respect for parents. They tend to be rude and dismissive of parents and they speak to students in a very rude and nasty tone when not necessary. It is obvious they have no respect for their students and they are generalizing their student body as well as parents.

As a student graduating this year I feel that there is alot that needs to be done for congress. The teachers ( aside from the gifted classes) don't care about students and the rules are not enforceed.

This is really good for your child. It has great school lunches. It is very clean. The learning experience is great. They have activities like dances,fun raisers so on and so forth. The teachers are well educated and ready too teach. My child really loves it here. They have good quality books here. They even have a pre-medical program for the kids. We have cheerleading, softball, soccer, baseball, basketball. And we are now an A school. There are no fights and no trouble. we send letters home of absences and bad grades. I must say this school is...is very very excellent in so many ways!

The principal really wants the kids to succeed , she works with the students and the parents. She has an open door policy, very approachable , she listens to kids and parents and takes appropriate actions. She has a hard job, she does not receive much parental support, nor do the kids. You see her everywhere on the campus taking care of everything. My son loves his magnet program , his teachers and his school. This school is getting better every year due to the dedication and hard work of the administration, the teachers and the staff. The education that my child is receiving from the magnet program is well above average. Thanks to everyone at Congress.

Im in advanced and honors classes so i dont really see bad behavior in my classes , but once i step out of my classes it's a little frightning. A little a bit more than half of the students make rude comments but that is pretty much it as long as you ignore it.

I feel this school can be a little too uptight. The teachers and APs make too many rules for us kids. It gets tiring...

I'm very happy with the job the teachers are doing for their students. The only problem there is the poor parent's participation that I think it is the major problem in our education system. However, my both kids went to Congress Middle School and we always been there for any reason. Believe me, it works. The vocational program is wonderful and it is giving them a great opportunity to explore in the areas where they are interesting.

My child had a wonderful experience at Congress Middle School due to the Choice Programs that were offered. These classes gave him an opportunity to view his talents as possible future career choices in technology and the arts. They do change their minds, however exposure to these classes is what these kids need especially since we are living in such a technological world. The staff are receptive to the needs of the students and work hard to see that they are successful. Let's face it, they are our future aren't they? Thank you teachers for your dedication and consistency.
