Aux Sable Middle School

I am currently in my last year at A.S.M.S. I agree that sometimes behavior does get out of hand & students receives little or no consequences whatsoever. But I do not agree that it is all the teachers fault. We are good students with the exceptions of a few & yes students misbehave we aren't perfect but the teachers also do their best to maintain a healthy environment to study. There are not many teachers that i am personally comfortable talking to. Honestly there were about 3 which 2 of them got transferred or laid off due to changes in the district. There are lots of clubs & sports that students can get involved in but if you want to join a club you must fill out an application & get teachers sign them & if you do not make it then it kind of sucks 'cause you can put your heart into the application but they usually only accept people they know. As a student leader i try to stay out of as much drama as possible because it gets you into nothing but trouble at Aux Sable. & just like a review said about teachers loving or hating you... It's true even though teachers say it's not. But overall , Aux sable is a pretty good school , it's not the teachers it's the students. RESPECT.

I am an Aux Sable parent...and have had a great deal of contact with the teachers as well as the administration at this school. The team of teachers (6 green) that my daughter had this past year was EXCELLENT. They took a personal interest in my students learning...and did everything they could to help her meet her goals and to keep pace. She was honor roll all four quarters through her hard work as well as this amazing group of teachers going above and beyond to help her understand her studies...even cutting into their personal time to do it. The administrators can be strict, but seem fair. Mrs. Alexander (Principal) is a wonderful lady who seems ot handle everything in stride...Mr. Merrick (Vice-Principal) is stern yet pleasant and both appear to not only take their jobs seriously but are consummate professionals. The students tend to have more behavioral issues and out of control behavior than you would like to see (and that wasn't displayed at the elementary school they came from) but I think this is due to the parents. I have never seen a group of people more collectively rude than the parents at Aux Sable. It only makes sense that they would pass it on to their kids!

Boring. Too cliche. This school should be getting a 1. A teacher either loves you or hates you. It's obvious who they love.

The teachers here are so immature. They do not understand kids at all and baby them so much, all they care about is the money. They hound on the kids for everything and stress them out. Giving them a harder environment to work in. The worst part is they think they are the greatest school ever and the staff are very stuck up. Only very few of the staff members are good. VERY FEW. I wish i could rate this school 1 star.

I am a substitute teacher and therefore, visit many schools within district 202. This is my least favorite school. In general, the students' behavior is the worst I have witnessed over the years. In my opinion, the school is partially to blame as it seems the students get away with poor behavior with little consequence. I have chosen to not substitute teach at this school again when so many other schools in the district have a much better learning environment. The administrators at this school really need to focus on ways to support positive behavior and find suitable negative consquences for poor behavior because whatever they are doing now is not working.

Teachers here aren't strict enough. A kid can get away with just about anything, even if it hurts the other students learning environment.

Overall, this is an okay school. I think they staff needs to be more diverse - I'd say about 90% are under 25. However, they are very caring with a lot of energy. Behaviors seem to be getting out of control with little consequences. I think the kids could be challenged more academically.
