Conyers Middle School

The best thing I can say about this school is that during the fights that breakout, the children are locked in their classrooms. The communication is slack at best, the majority of the teachers fail to ever respond, the principal never once responded to any of my emails though the assistant female principal was one of the most pleasing. If they had their act together with regards to readying their children, had a curriculum that would teach the children, held their children accountable, and invoked a true no tolerance policy then this school would improve vastly. The minority race is who suffers most as it is in all schools, unfortunately. There are some teachers there that are in the gifted education section that truly do care and stay in touch with the parents. These are the teachers that actually make a difference though they are smothered by the lesser ones that bring the school down considerably. All in all, I would look at another district even though the school attempts to get better with each passing year.

I am currently a 7th grade student at conyers middle school. I feel that conyers will fail to prepare me for high school. I say this because the school treats student like 1st grade students. We are carefully watched in the lunch line, and made to sit with our class at lunch. I also think the school's administration fails to know how to discipline. A plus about the school is their Program challenge and honors classes. I'm currently a student in their PC program and i feel that i lean a lot from their two PC classes. i feel that this school is a little under average if you want a great education for your child then this school district most likely isn't for you.

This school stinks, i am a 7th grader at conyers middle school. First of all there is absolutley no freedom, we are trapped in one hallway all day i dont know if all the schools in conyers are like but i dont like because when i went to school in new york it wasn't like this. Second of all the teachers are terrible, they dont even speak proper English, i dont understand how some of these teacher got hired, let alone get there degrees. I'd mhave to say this is the worst school i've ever been to, if you live in conyers i strongly recommend sending your child to private school.

I went to this school in the 2006-07 and 2007-08 years, and I think that the school was ok. I was very glad to see some improvements with the lunch. I was in the Advanced Program, but now the school that I go to says that the 'Advanced Math' was not really 'advanced' at all. When I was in it, it really didnt seem like we did much extra and there were some people in there that I felt like shouldn't be there. I adored some of the teachers, but some were horrible. I am an all A student and I felt like I wasn't learning anything. In other classes the teachers made learning fun, but with every good thing is a bad thing. I loved the Arts program. Now that I think about it, I kinda miss CMS. It was a great school.

This is my daughter's second year at CMS and from an education standpoint, I would say it has been a decent school. My daughter has been in the advanced classes so there hasn't been a problem. From the outside looking in, there seems to be quite a few 'rough' children at the school with several fights and bus disruption with not much done to rectify the issues. If your child will attend this school, keep a close watch on them and take them to and from school if possible. Because of the 'rough' children, we are planning on moving and will probably leave the district as I haven't heard good news about other schools in the area either.

2007-2008 was the first year that my child attended CMS and I was pleased with the teaching staff and the admin at the school I was kept informed about all that i need to know to keep my child a productive student and see that he passed to the 7th grade.
