Brown Barge Middle School

The worse school ever. I moved and could not get anything from the school to take to new location. Just got the run around.

This school is amazing. It is not for everyone, but for the creative type child it is the best. My daughter attends this school and the attached PATS center. I love thier learning methods because it keeps it fun and is very hands on. I really dislike living in this county, but I cannot move because this school is too awesome to give up. I wish there was a high school that would follow up to this amazing middle school.

My daughter attended BBMS from 2007-2010, I absolutely loved their curriculum and out of the box approach to educating. The Principale and Vice Principale's (we experienced 2) were very approachable, full of vigor & information any time I walked through the door. Dr. Kerringan and Ms. Harding always seemed well in tuned with their students. Mrs. Poe (Guidance) was there for my daughter for educational, social and emotional advisement. The teachers go above & beyond and are enthusiatic. It was a relief to experience BBMS! I have not been impressed with the Escambia County School's as a whole, but BBMS and West Florida High School, have been exceptional!!

I used to attend Brown Barge Middle School for the 6th grade and absolutly hated it. It is just a terrible school. They have a very messed up system, all its for is confusing you. In elementary school, I got all A's. In Brown Barge all I got was 1's and 0's. The teachers are terrible at thier job. One of the teachers I had rudely gave me a 1 in his class. All he did to teach his class was play rap music over the speakers to the class, getting the students off-task, and would always sit in the back and text on his phone. And they are way to social. In all of the classes, you always get time to socailize, which is totally unexceptable. The principal and assistant pricncipal, are very rude and harrass you. I hope you don't put your kids in this terrible school.

I am a former student, fresh out of this school. I absolutely loved my 8th grade year, though since the school is so small, the amount of rude, conceited and mean students is 10x as concentrated, and It is CRUCIAL that parent's get involved and pay attention at this point in their children's lives, because I have seen TOO MANY of my peers with potential fall hard because nobody cared to pay attention to them. This school really prepared me for my high school career. When you find your niche, you really feel like a family. You can find many good friends that will stick for life, and many of us you will find are outspoken and confident because of all of the hands-on action. But watch it, because being excellent here is like balancing on a thin slab of rock. It's not like other schools.

I go there now am in 7th grade and i love it here in brown barge, the teachers really love there jobs and it is very special the way they teach there. In stead of periods we have streams. A stream is a period of 12 weeks that we have a certain topic we learn about. Right now i am in the flight stream and we learn about flight, history of flight, and the air.We have 4 teachers in each stream. Right now there is an art stream,mass media( were you learn all about media, radio and etc.Beside those streams we had ylyb which is your life/your buisness.Its about running a buisness, taking care of money and manufacturing products.

An amazing school that teaches you skills that you wouldn't learn elsewhere as well as your basic school knowledge. The teachers really care and it shows

An excellent school with teachers that care and know how to teach the talented kids in their classrooms. An environment for 'out of the box' thinkers who will one day be our leaders. My child's first year there was positive and an experience I do not believe he could have received anywhere else. This has been an incredible opportunity to partake of education with Escmabia and Santa Rosa Counties finest students from Pensacola Beach to Perdido Key, a melting pot of unbelievably good and talented kids! An opportunity of a lifetime!

BBMS is a wonderful school. The drama teacher is known to really get into everything. All the teachers are there because they want to be, not so they can brag about how they teach at such a great school. I see a great future at BBMS for me!
