Carrithers Middle School

I went to Carrithers Middle School my 7th and 8th grade year. I'm not sure why people think its such a bad school. All of the staff and especially my teachers were very nice and cared about us. What is such the big deal? Its not a bad school, and this is coming from a former student there.

Im a student going to Carrithers Middle School, im currently in the 8th grade. The parents who write bad things about CMS, have no idea about how bad the school is; because they dont' even attend there. I think the school is really wonderful and safe. I don't think the teachers yell at the students for no reason! The teachers only yell at the student because of the disrespect they dish out. I also love the guidance counseling they have! I feel very comfortable talking to Ms. Hume or Mrs. Mohr, I look foward to going to school and seeing my friends and teachers! :)

I am a 7th grade student who goes to this school. I feel that the teachers are great, but nothing gets resolved unless parents get envolved. Bullying is a huge problem in this school. Sometimes I dread school because of bullying in periods.

I have a 7th grader this year at Carrithers. My son has been doing well and likes his school and teachers. I am an involved parent and have met and talked to all of his teachers. Ms. Gausepohl is a terrific principal who has turned this school around. She has a strong staff behind her and it is known that they can be strict, but they only are to teach our kids to show respect to others and to keep everyone safe. I have younger children and when the times comes they will proudly attend Carrithers also.

As a parent I am extremely disappointed with CMS. Avoid this school like the plague! They don't even have enough school books for the children to take home. The library doesn't even have it's own room, it's in the middle of the hallway! Run far & fast!

I am now an 8th grader at carrithers middle school! the school is great! the staff is very caring. They treat kids the way the kids treat them! for you parents who say our school is not a good school, well your wrong! you have never spent months in the class room and observing what we do! so you really don't know what your talking about! if there is something wrong in our school, our teachers and principal will try and help as much as possible! if they didnt care about us then we wouldnt have brand new computers each year and new textbooks! if your child gets in trouble, then thats their fault. They get yelled at becuase they did wrong! theres no way a teacher will let a student disrespect them! yes the teachers do yell at the students but not for no reason!

I am a parent of two children at CMS. The past two years have been terrible! My kids have been yelled at by staff, they have been singled out and belittled. They have had many issues with harrassment and bullying. As a parent I do not feel these types of issues are handled, I've been forced into dealing with most school problems on my own. I agree with so many things you other parnts have had to say and only wish we could band together in our effort to give our children a safe and happy learning environment. I would not recomend this school on any level.
