Kammerer Middle School

Alright, I am a KMS student at the moment, in the 7th grade. I switched very close to the end of the year, and so I have only been at the school for two weeks. So far there have been at least 5 incidents. Most including bullying in some way. I find this troubling, although it may just be me, comparing it to my old school. I don't feel like the students learn, or put forth their best effort, which in turn rubs off on the teachers. The teachers don't care what you do, or if you learn or not. Some demand attention, which only works half the time, while others sit at their desks speechless. I have not once see the principal do anything productive, all I have seen is the assistant principle yell. This bothers me, and as said before, this school has a bullying problem, and I see no one taking actions to stop it. Sure, they have an undefeated Field Hockey team, but how would being able to play a sport get you a scholarship if you learned nothing for three years of school? I know I made this school sound awful, and I'm sure it has strong points, but I haven't found one yet.

Really, a parent gave the school 3 stars for a sweatshirt issue. Logo wear (sweatshirt) is managed by hard-working dedicated volunteers who give and give of their time to benefit the entire student body. So, the parent couldn't work out this issue..and had the principal involved. That's sad and signifies low rating for parent, not the school. I am rating the school based academic programs along with social/athletic programs geared for my middle school students. KMS does an excellent job educating my children as well as managing the constant change in our ever-changing academic environment.

Just so everyone knows, my daughter who attends Kammerer Middle did receive her long awaited sweatshirt today. Mrs. Gamble, the Principal came through with her promise to get her a sweatshirt that we ordered from Logo Wear. Thank you Mrs. Gamble.

Bullying is out of control! One boy threatened to kill me and the principal did nothing about it. The class sizes are huge and there are no special programs for children with just mild learning disorders such as ADD. I would never recommend this school to someone else.

We had the worst year ever, we have had to go through major strides in order not to go back. Many teachers really great, they know who they are, other ones, just there to collect a check, live on their cells, computers and of course face book and twitter, which are the same ones who are absent constantly. It's very sad. And they know who they are also. The worst issues, bullies and lack of the Principal's involvement. The main school principal hides out and doesn't take any responsibility for what goes on in the school. Walk past her and you'd never know she's a principal of such a large school, holds her head down so she doesn't have to acknowledge anyone. A parent has to go way out of the way to get her to speak or look up. Imagine what the students must feel on a daily basis. There is a female asst. principal there who also Never Ever smiles and I heard yells at kids and treats them badly in her office and nobody does anything about it. All heads down-nobody notices anything, that is how things are on a daily basis in our experience at Kammerer. I am happy for the students who are having good experiences. Sad for kids who are lost and neglected. Our spirit was broken.

Out of all the schools I've gone to (I've gone to four middle schools and four elementary schools), Kammerer has been my favorite. I have nothing bad to say about KMS! The kids there are the coolest you'll ever meet, and the teachers are great!

This school is the best school ever. I am on the girls basketball team. I love it1 i amd in the 6th grade i am on the koala team. Mr mac is one of my favorite teachers. He has everyone do lots of handson stuff. Mrs. Albrecht is my math teacher she makes math fun also. She helps u all the time when you need it. Mrs. Oore is my science teacher. She is also the most fun. The most fun thing i did in her class was burning cheese balls. And last but not least rms. Zumbiel. She is my language arts teaher. She makes me laugh all of the time. She is very fun. I love her class also.

We were accepted into a Traditional school but decided to attend Kammerer. What a great choice! The teachers send weekly e-mails updating the parents on what is going on in class. Very excited about sending second child to KMS next year.

My daughter loves KMS! There are lots of opportunities for involvement and the teachers have been very supportive. I would strongly recommend this school.
