Southwest Middle School

Unsure of why my previous review is not posted here so I'll make it short..take it from Me a Parent that had 2 Children attend this school in 2008, this is without a doubt the worst middle school in Savannah Georgia. I have seen Children break down in tears when they think that they will be attending this school. The teachers are horrible..

My child has experienced some good and bad things from SWMS. Some of the teachers may be supportive, but he met one that was very cruel and lazy. She would always be behind her desk eating something. One of my child's friends found 8 fruit cups in one of her drawers! Attending this school a second year, he has had some problems with the lunch that the school provides. Once, a classmate of his found 2 cockroaches in her lunch. She threw up and had to go home early that day. Also there is lack of communication between the parents and teachers.

Southwest is a good school. I am a student and I was voted to be apart of Student Council. Mr. Cunningham was the advisor and he really showed us different facts about students and how they can make a difference in school. He started the school store and that was successful, the students never stopped having enough school supplies. I enjoyed my three years at Southwest, I am now going to high school. I am going to miss Southwest and the teachers, especially Mrs. Benjamin, Mrs. Cato, Mrs. Hughes-Terry, Mrs. Garvin, and Mr. Cunningham

Southwest has really gone down hill in the past couple of years. There is lack of communication from teachers to the parents. Most teachers seem to not care about helping my child when needed, with the exception of Mrs. Burton who is a very good and caring teacher. I was most disappointed when the school holds dances during school hours and makes students attend that do not wish to and that they would play music that contains crude lyrics!

Southwest Middle School is a great school. This school made AYP, the 8th graders scored the highest in the district on the writing test and made significant gains on the CRCT at all grades levels. They also won the championship for middle schools in basketball. 'WAY TO GO SOUTHWEST EAGLES' How can I forget the capable and knowledgeable principal Mrs. Bernedette Ball-Oliver. She had high expectations for students and student learning. Thank you Mrs. Oliver for a job well done.

I am a student at SWMS for 6th (sea eagles) and 7th(crowned eagles) and I think that it is a wonderful school.The principal is great also and so is Officer Ware. The teachers are great too.But the schools after school activitys could be better but for every thing else it's great.

My son attends SWMS and he enjoys every day there. His is in advanced classes and his teachers are wonderful. Not all teachers hand out worksheets as their method of instruction. I have noticed, though, that the level of parent involvement is low. Overall I feel that this is a wonderful school and I hope to be in Savannah long enough to have my youngest son attend SWMS.
