Okay, so some teachers are mean, but some are nice. All you really have to do is actually pay attention. Duh. Yes the school is dirty and yea we've had a bird fly around in the gym. I do agree that the classes are WAY to easy and yes, violence is a huge problem. On the contrary, there are not fights everyday. Sometimes not for weeks! In the grade level, we're kind of like a huge family: You fight with some, some you never met or heard of, some you don't talk to, and some are your favorites.
My son was beat up the 2nd week of school last year,which was his first year,6th grade. The students have wear their shirts tucked in beacause of possible weapon possesion! Most of the teachers do not care at all. My son sometimes cries that he doesn't want to go. He is bullied every day. He is a big strong boy but doesn't want to have to defend himself every day. The onlt decent reviews are 4 plus years old. I will do everything I can to get my son out of this school. The asst. principle is the one shining light in a very dark place.
I have always heard negative story's about Scott and they have been confirmed. I hate the fact that my son goes there because most of the teacher's don't care and don't know how to teach, the school is full of bully's and the principal is totally incompetent. I shadowed my son for one day and I felt like I was at the zoo. Everybody there that has authority has no control. There are assaults everyday after school. I have been forced to permit my son to fight to defend himself because the principal cannot provide him with safety. I hope he gets replaced and soon. Parents please talk with your children to make sure they are not being bullied because this is part of the reason why children bring weapons to school.
i dont like scott at all. the teachers are mean. students dont learn anything
I dont like this school at all. The teachers and students are very rude. Nobody trys, and kids aren't ever paying attention. Go Bishop Noll!!! (:
I attended Scott Middle School for 3 years and loved every minute of it! They had wonderful teachers and still do!!!
It is a very giving school that supplies education to your needs.
i think scott is a very good school i heard bad things from other parents but my son has had no problems and he likes the extra ciricular thing that go on at Scott.
I hate Scott. Its dirty and it is strict like a private school. The classes are way to easy and we barely have enough time to eat lunch. I wush I could go to Eggers or Gavit.
I have to say that Scott is very strict and has a zero tolerance similar to a private school. The teachers are very involved and communicate with the parents often. My daughter's reading level went up and the school is preparing her for high school/college. She is actually doing high school level assignments. She has read 5 books thus far and only three months into the school year. This is a great school with caring teachers/principal!
