Argenta-Oreana Middle School

I am so glad I no longer go to this school. The school didn't offer much in the way of electives or extra curricular activities, no matter how well I stood up for myself, I was constantly bullied, the school was too small, the staff played favorites, the teachers talked so much students didn't know what they were supposed to know, and God forbid the teachers explain the material when students don't understand it immediately. No, that would be too much work, most of them are just there for a paycheck. Also, it would be a week before teachers handed homework back, most of whom would say they had so many students that they couldn't hand it back the day after. I went to a school near Chicago before coming here; most of the teachers at the previous school had to deal with at least 150 students on a daily basis, nearly twice as many students that the teachers at Argenta had to deal with on a daily basis, and they would hand back assignments the day after they were due. I mentioned this to some of the teachers and they accused me of trying to tell them how to do their job! Parents, don't send your children to this school, if you can avoid it.

Academic programs include many ways for the student, and thier fellow piers to get know each other and thier teachers. Extracurricular activities include Band, Jazz Band, Art, Baseball, Softball, Football, Soccer, Scholastic Bowl, Track, and much more. There is a program they have developed called P.A.T.T. Which means parents, and teachers together, which includes willing parents, and teachers that put thier heads together to develop a more, happy, and fun learning environment for thier chlidren, or student. The school is currently under construction.When completed, it will then include a courtyard, commons, an up-to date computer lab, and library.
