James S. Rickards Middle School

This school has the worst staff, especially the 8th grade teachers. Two different teachers were irresponsible and lost their work. One teacher did not acknowledge the fact that she did lose the work and it made my grade drop down an entire letter grade. The school cut an abundance of sports. Also the lunch is terrible. Do not try the macaroni and cheese because when you flip the tray over none of the mac and cheese will fall off. For the children hat reviewed below me, you cannot write a review if the only expierence you've had with the school was one day in an open house.

Rickards middle school is an awesome school it has no bullying i go to North Andrews Gardens Elementary and i went to open house it was great i loved it if your are in the 5th grade please go to Rickards middle

Hello! This year this is my last year at Floranada Elementary School! At Rickards Middle, i been to the open house with my aunt! She told more information about helping me catching up! At the school, i was impress what i saw at the school, the school is so clean also no bullying. They have good friends there. The principal gives us some things what they got there, they have clubs and more things that i always wanted! Please TAKE your child here! Its awesome!

rickards is amazing because we have free breakfast and free tutoring during lunch and you still have time to eat lunch. Plus our soccer team went undefeated.

This is an amazing school!!!! Don't go to Pine Crest or west minester come HERE!!!!!

I think that Rickards Middle School is the best school you could send your child to! This year they started the honors academy which is when you work online and you can go head and earn high school and college credits while your still in middle school! There is so much more I could say about Rickards middle school. If you are a parent send your child to Rickards middle school!

The new Honors Academy is amazing! Students are completing coursework in record time and going on amazing field trips. Definitely more to offer than a magnet, charter, or private school.

As a former student at James S. Rickards Middle School, I would like to share with everybody about how highly I think of Rickards. I think that James S. Rickards Middle School has a great teaching staff and wonderful extra curricular activities for everyone. Rickards has extraordinary diversity within the schools learning techniques and very diverse students as well. My final thoughts would conclude that Rickards gives the children space to be themselves and also learn in a very fun and interactive way. Go Rickards rockets! -Seaira Class Of 2010

this schoolrocks ive learned soo much love this school i pursade everyone to come to rickads

I am in 6th grade this year and i feel the school is an okay school. There are no crossing guards on dixie highway which concerns even me because there are many drivers who choose to run red lights and disobey the traffic signs. When you arrive to the school, the 6th graders are in a seperate area away from the 7th and 8th graders which I think is good because the upper grade seem to have less self disipline and would probably beat up the 6th graders. The clubs are very well organized and fun, but some of the sports have been cut( swimming, softball, and volleyball) due to budget cuts. The administrative staff is bad in my opinoin. The assistant principal blames ALL the children when something goes wrong instead of addressing the issue, they blame it on you and cut privelages.
