Driftwood Middle School

DMS is the worst school I've ever dealt with. There's no communication between teachers and the office, and definitely none between the teachers and parents. My daughters are in 6th and 7th grades there now. My 6th grader had a problem with a teacher swearing at them and calling them names. My 7th grader has problems with her teachers just not taking the education they're supposed to be providing serious enough. And calling the school to set up a parent/teacher conference is easy.. but returning a phone message after a guidance counselor calls you is a joke. Knowing that a certain person works there... the office will tell you otherwise. This school is a joke and I can't wait to pull my kids out of there!!!!!!!

I have never had any issues with the school. the things that i do not like is that they have this wikki spaces and to me it is very hard to e-mail a teacher and see what is happening. I also don't like the fact that the principal makes the children walk a different way after they get out of school causing some of the kids to miss crossing guards and all. I think the only reason he has the job is of who his falther.

We pulled our child out of the school after his first year. We had a horrible experience with bullying that went largely unaddressed. The principal is one of the worst administrator's I've ever had the displeasure to meet. (Note: his father is a prominent member of the Board of Education.) I was one of the "lucky" few who obtained an audience. Another mom whose son was being bullied remarked she would have a better chance of getting an appointment with Obama. The only positive was that several of my child's teachers were kind, caring and effective.

I agree with the lack of communication with the teachers and office staff at Driftwood Middle School. This is definitely an error of concern for involved parent(s).

Lack of communication with the teachers and front office staff is terrible

I am very pleased with Driftwood Middle School! The teachers are very caring and dedicated, the principal is very hands on and the school is spotless!! The administrators are always just a phone call away. The PTSA is new,but very involved in the school. I am proud my son attends Driftwood Middle School!!

I am a 6th grader at driftwood middle school and i would say i love attending this school since the beginning of the school year! all the teachers are nice and most students are friendly! this school is really fun and strict at the same time! dms is a physical wellnesss magnet school that has its own gym and aerobics room! I say that is focuses on physical wellness as much as it focuses on the other academics like math and such! dms is a really great school and i would recommend it to anybody and everybody!
