Pinellas Park Middle School

Hey I'm A Student And I Think Ppms Is pretty Legit , Theirs Not That Many Fights As Much As Anymore I Think Theirs Really None With The Rumors And Stuff. But Mostly The Fights Allways Start in The Begining Of the Year Because Not Everyone Has Learned Eachother Personality So Give Ppms A Chance! :D

Yes, i know this is a bad school. but about two years back when i was a sixth grader it was a wonderful school. the next year it got out of hand. now its a horrible school. i still go there because of the memories.its is a d school and one of the baddest schools in pinellas county. do not bring your child to this school until you see better reviews

This is a very badly run school. The administration does not support their teachers. There have been numerous arrests and an uncountable number of fights. The follow through on discipline is very lax. A student will get 5 or more referrals before they receive a punishment. The students who want to learn are left to fend for themselves as the teachers are consumed with controlling the others. It is very sad.

VERY VERY bad school my daughter goes there and she says there are at least 3 fights every week teachers dont help your students or care. they have been in the newspaper 3 times about how bad it is and in the 2010-2011 year they had 62 arrests and still counting they are the baddest school in pinellas county! DO NOT let your child go there!!

The teachers at this school are so dedicated to their students. They give their students a chance to be helped privately. The administration handles altercations very well. The food is average in the cafeteria.

2 years later... Not only am I an educator, I am a parent FIRST! This is my 7th. year w/children at this school and I have not been as happy as I have been in previous years. This IS the last year, however. There was some decent amount of 'housecleaning' done as far as administration so I'm hoping for more positive changes. There ARE some very dedicated teachers and staff in administration. Front desk needs to smile not only when parents come into the office but when she answers the PHONE, as well. JMO.

I give this school an above average rating because, considering the many changes the district of Pinellas County went through recently (2007-2009 school years), and the fact that the school has gone through three principals in the last 5 years (Matway was only there for 2 years), the teachers remain flexible and open to the many changes that come their way. They continue to educate their students with genuine care and high expectations. No place is perfect, but Pinellas Park Middle is a resilient institution thanks to its teachers. Many teachers have been there for years. The newest administration addresses discipline problems promptly. The school currently has a B grade.

Academic quality is average to good. Music program rocks, with LOTS of instructor and parental support (as well as from other students)! The atmosphere needs to be monitored more closely. Hoping it improves or we'll have to look elsewhere for the rest of middle school.
