Eagle Middle School

Yes. I am going to agree with the last comment. The administration tries their hardest, but they seem not to help when things get out of control. I know from experience that a lot of the things that happen aren't seen by anyone of authority. The students DO run the place, and people DO get bullied.

This is a great school, if you don't mind your child being bullied, or if you want a school where the kids are in charge.

I had a 6th grader going in this year and was very nervous for my shy daughter. I was pleasantly surprised that this has been one of the best school years, both academically and socially. She has excelled in the middle school environment. Her teachers know her well and challenge her. They do a great job at the transition from elementary school to middle school. So far, I could not be happier.

I am joining as a 6th grader this year and am sort of nervous...something that isn't important but i want to know is do you get school ids?

Our daughter is finishing up her first year at EMS and has LOVED it. From reading previous posts, the school has come a LONG way. The transition from elementary to middle was seamless and the teachers she has had have been not only great scholastically, but truly love and care for her. The sports program is excellent. There are many great opportunities for parents to get involved as well.

This is a great school! The principle (Mr Nelson) works hard to create of comfortable and caring environment for new students, especially those entering the 6th grade. This made it far less stressful for my child when he began his first day of school. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else!!

EMS is a great school to attend. I always feel welcomed and the teachers are so nice. I don't think there are many problems with bullies, drugs, or alcohol. But overall, it's a great school and I love it.

The SRO is not at all helpful with student problems and she is always looking for the big bust, and not for the security, safety, and justice our children should be getting from a school resource officer. The teachers are wonderful though! So is the administration.

EMS is a GREAT school. When i attended there, many kids that moved in were accepted right away. Teachers kept school work interesting and were very helpful. The sports programs were basically the BEST. Football won for both lightweight and heavyweight. Volleyball and basketball did really good too. The schools competition cheer team won in their competition. Besides the athletics, the school often shook things up a bit with fundraisers. Teachers were very encouraging. The school also gave us the oppertunity for great assemblies that ranged from fun to inspiring. As far as other people's disappointments with parents involvments, middle school is a point where kids learn to branch out. Not to mention kids are pretty easily imbarassed my parents. The school also made the transition from elementary school alot easier. All in all EMS was a great experience. GO COLTS!

I am extremely dissapointed. I believe some of the teachers don't care about the students. What happened to the teachers and text books teaching them. What happened to teaching for the purpose of learning and not teaching for the state testing. I have attended almost every PTSO meeting and it was the same parents (10) that came. Where are the rest of the parents? And then there's the drug problem. Was there anything I liked about this school - well the girls in the office were extremely nice, one of my sons teachers was the best and she's not returning next year, nor is the principal. My son will be moving on to Galileo, thank goodness.
