Marley Middle School

I have a 6th grader at Marley this year and have had a great experience with the school and staff. Not only do the teachers help the students they have been proactive in problem areas, with after school help on Tues and Thur. This is my second child to go through Marley and so far I have been very pleased with my child's education. Between the parent conect and after school progams, it is hard not to succeed.

I agree that the staff do NOTHING but sit back and watch kids FIGHT violently in the hallwalls, bully each other and act like animals. The teachers don't help students that need extra attention with classwork. My child has been going there for 3 years now and it hasn't gotten any better. It's really a shame how bad the staff is.

They do nothing in regards to kids being bullied I have been to the school numerous times and its still not handled yet. It makes you want to homeschool instead of dealing with this everyday!

I have a first time student at this school. The facility itself is excellent. Very bright and certainly cheery. Definitely an atmosphere conducive to learning. The teachers are excellent. All are extremely uplifting to my daughter and are always there to help. Teacher schedule after school tutoring or help every week. The support provided can not be matched. All are involved and concerned about your childs education. Simply put, the teacher and school are doing a fine job. I as a parent have ready access via email to all teachers my daughter sees daily. There is no reason a parent could not and should not be involved with their childs education. My daughter is being challenged daily with her studies and is exceeding with honor roll status. Wonderful school!

My son is in 7th grade and in his second year at Marley. He has special needs and I was so afraid to send him here! I actually thought about moving just to be in a different school district. Mr. Buckley has done a fantastic job with the school. I am so impressed with my son's education and the standard in which this school conducts is daily activities. As for the teachers....can we clone Mr. Byland? He is simply outstanding in every way. Just ask any parent of a child in his class, he is terrific. The school has improved 100% from what I remember as a middle schooler. This is a completely different school. You are still going to have some little problems, we are dealing with 6, 7th and 8th graders, but they are kept to a minimum. Keep up the great work; I have another child attending in two years.

Marley School rank very high in my book, I have had several social ajustment with my daugther moving around the country and trying to get her settle has been an great challange,but nevertheless the staff we're and is on the ball with facing the different unbalancement the student's go through on a daily base. And just for something as small as caring about the wholeness of the child not just the educational side, is priceless.

My son goes to Marley Middle School and we love it! He went to a catholic school last year but was having trouble with writing which is in every class. They did not have the resources to help him. We had an IEP done with the County Schools this past summer and he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. He has a lot of help at school and is doing great, academically and socially. We love Marley Middle School, and see him changing every day.

I'm so Thankfull that my son made it out of the school in one piece & alive.I can't believe that parents actually like this school.I for one think it should be shut down. My son was jumped twice in the school and he was treated unfairly.Cause he has a record of being suspened.Cause he is ADHD and OCD and they wont lesson.My son was knocked out with a teacher right their and he was blamed for it.I'm really tough on my son cause he needs to be corrected.But this gets me when a child grabs your child and knocks him out and it takes a teacher and a friend to pull the kid off.But yet my son gets blamed cause he poked the kids sholder and he knows the kid he was playing around.School is a joke & dangerious.Everyone I know hates the school.
