Attucks Middle School

Poor communication, lack of genuine interest in education for some instructors. 2011. some teachers have left the school with out any notice to the parents. It is very difficult to contact the instructors. School use a phone mail to communicate any event. When following about grades, you MUST register online to see by yourself your child progress. Grades every day, and parents and report is unclear The report doesn't show an accurate information. When you ask to your child why is the reason of a low or missed grade they say...the teacher has no posted my grades yet..Teachers do not provide feedback to the student about their progress, kids need to be responsible by themselves to check online if they are missing or to see what grades they have earned. It's very uncertain how well my child will progress or learn in the school. It seems the teacher just are busy putting grades -too busy teaching- the kids..Instructor send letters to the parents to "inform" about their rules in classroom or about their "background/experience" and education -partners in education- but when you try to reach them by e-mail, letters or by phone, rarely are available for you! I am very concerned!

I was worried about my son going to Attucks until I found out that mrs shaw was the princible there..mrs shaw used to be the counseler at Bair middle and always looked after her students 3 of which happened to be mine..I know that she cares a great deal about each and every one of her students, and anyone one who has anything bad to say about Attucks obviously has not had their child attend this great school!! I'm just sad to say that my son is going to high school next year cause I would love for him to stay in Attucks for the remaining 4 years of high school..so mrs shaw if your reading this I would love if you went to work at hills for the next 4years...love ya always and keep up the great work!!!love the ortiz family

oh my got attucks, attucks, attucks! best ever middle school. dont listen to the people who say attucks is a bad school because principal shaw is the BEST principal! i went to the open house yesterday and they have a great magnet program; it lets you cycle through all of the 3 magnets,(journalism, tv broadcast, and graphic computer design)for 9 weeks each and for the last of the 4 9 week stretches you get to pick which magnet you want to go back to a 2nd time. they have great sports, basket ball, flag football, soccer, and swimming, the teachers are very fun but set on learning, and for homework(6th grade)you take home a laptop and basically make up a slideshow and show it in front of the class. go to attucks i got to experience it at the open house!!!

My kids were assigned to Attucks Middle but I moved them out. Most of the teachers were wonderful. The current (2008/9) principal is not. Many of the great teachers left and only a few of them remain. Something isn't right here anymore and I suspect it's the principal. Stay away until it's safe. Great magnet program, though. They even have high school math and foreign language classes. Still, stay away until this principal leaves.

Horrible school, but great magnet program. Don't attend unless you have to.

I love this school! Even though I teach at a great middle school, I have allowed my child to continue at Attucks. The leadership and passion of the administration is inspiring.
