Chasco Middle School

Terrible school!!!...very disappointed!!! This school is not about children's education, is about administration's pay check . Bulling, deplorable language, you will be ignored when complaining. This is a corrupted school.

I am a 7th grader at chasco and i love it. The gifted program is amazing, Mr. Leavy is an amazing Geography teacher and has a lot of experience. Ms. Kushner is a great advanced academics teacher, and ms. Kleckner is a great band/chorus teacher. I love this school, i would reccomend this school. Corporal Dill is awesome and so are the principals and the entire staff.

This school really cares about the success of the kids. Corporal Dill is truly a great resource officer.

I'm glad Chasco has so much support, but as the aunt of a Chasco student, I'm alarmed by its poor standings in Reading & Math in comparison to comparable Florida schools. (These stats are available elsewhere on this website.) I have no doubt that Chasco's staff is wonderful and the students like it there, but when my niece (a Chasco honor student) came for a long visit this summer, I was stunned at how deficient her education has been. And when I asked the same questions of my younger, non-honor roll nephew who is schooled in New Jersey, he knew all the answers. I'm not impressed with the quality of Chasco's education so far. In this global economy, Chasco students are going to be competing for college placements and/or jobs against the students from many better quality schools. From what I've seen so far, their education doesn't measure up.

I love this school. My daughter was already an honor roll student when she started here. As a parent every year am waiting for 'it' to begin...You know when your kid gets bored or decides they don't like school anymore... Well let me tell you. Amanda loves all her teachers. She still makes good grades and enjoys going to school. When she gets home after school she is always smiling of giggling about both her friends and her teachers. They promote an environment where my daughter can be herself and learn and interact with the teachers in s safe and healthy environment. The assistant principal Mr. Di Vincent has been amazing. I have never seen a principal be so involved with the students or care so much about there well being. The last 2 years have been great. I will miss this school.

I am a 7th grader at Chasco. I think the school is great! Sure there are misbehaving kids there, but there is at every school! I mean, come on parents, just because your son/daughter got into it with a classmate, doesn't give you the right to criticize the teachers. Half the time, they have no clue. And that is not a lack of listning, but a lack of communication on the student's part. I am in the Energizers pod, and for a parent that is reading this and wondering which pod is the best, I strongly reccomend them. They are very deddicated, and I am so happy to have gotten them as my teachers!

I have never seen a more dedicated staff of teachers administrators as I see at Chasco Middle School. Not only are students challenged to excel, they are done so in a safe and nurturing environment. It is the best school that my child has attended and for anyone to say anything else is absurd. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to be a part of their child's education, and the teachers are genuinely concerned about their students. The academic programs offered span all levels and meet all student learning needs; art, music, and sports are available to all students, as are extracurricular activities. I am very pleased with the quality of my daughter's education at Chasco Middle School, and feel very comfortable and confident in the school's ability to challenge her and meet her needs. She is in no danger, and knows that she is safe and secure.

I think this school is a rough school for the most part. I just think they need to give the children consequences more and stop letting everything slide!

Chasco Middle has been a great disappointment. My child has been so bored she often doesn't want to go to school. She has one excellent English teacher whom actually cares about the students. The others I'm afraid just want a paycheck. So much misbehavior goes on right under their noses. I know it is a hard job but it is their chosen career.

Well I will start off by saying that when our son was going to chasco he was a great student with awhsome grades.We moved and our son had to go to river ridge.My son now is back in chasco and I must say he loves it the teachers are great and so is the staff they work with the parent when it comes to the child and for that I say chasco is the best.

Chasco Middle School is a great school my daughter loves it she is in chorus and she says it is a lot of fun.I think that they could teach a little harder for the fcat.

My son currently attends Chasco Middle School. I feel that the teachers are very good, however, the students are not driven to excell, as there is minimal homework given. I learned when my son was in 5th & 6th grade that parents complained if teachers asked for too much homework.

Chasco Middle is a great school. The principal is good with the students and cares for the safety of the students and staff. I feel safe at this school and have learned a lot over the last three years.
