My child has had a fantastic experience at Schmucker Middle School. The programs offered have been numerous and an excellent variety. Academic programs are at an appropriate level for each grade level. We have been very happy with our experience as of yet. Our child has been able to participate in the following programs as a 6th grade student: Band, Art Club, Cross Country, Math Counts, Knowledge Masters, Pon Pons, Honor Roll Breakfast/Lunch. We are very satisfied with the amount of programs offered and the care that the administration and teachers have provided

This school is very confusing on your first day and a big step up from elementary school, trust me, I know, but I love this school all the same because it's such a thrill to have a sense of independance. And the gym is so big, it's like three times as big as an elementary school gym.

Schmucker is a fine public school. I have two kids currently at Schmucker. The school offers many opportunities such as sports, music and academic competitions. The teachers do yell. However, it is a huge school and not all students are well behaved. Although many parents believe Discovery is the better middle school in our district I am very glad that my kids are at Schmucker.

I agree with the 2nd post, teachers yell way too much, and the Principle/Vice Principle are power abusers, especially during lunch. It's nothing like that at Penn, if we want to talk, we talk there. At Schmucker if we talk, its over with. At Penn we don't have teachers yell at us that its time to leave, we go 3 mins before the bell, and there's no fuss. The teachers abuse their power & ruin it for the students...do they expect that we won't leave, or do they really just like to abuse power?

I believe schmucker is a great school in general, but the students and teachers aren't very kind at all. The students have cliques and the teachers yell entirely too much. The teachers/coaches really use favoritism in sports.

Schmucker is an outstanding middle school and the best school pride when help is needed the teachers give 100% of their attention even if it's to an individual student. I go there and it's my final year and I'm saddened to leave it because when you walk in you feel scared but then the teachers becaome your family and mine will get bigger since I will be going to penn next year
