King Philip Middle School

This is a great school. The teachers are excellent and the principle is very involved. I think parents need to accept that when kids are in school, they should let the teachers excercise as much discipline as required. Many teachers are nervous of upsetting regulatory bodies and the kids' parents. Otherwise, kids are kids and this bunch are committed and enthusiastic about their school.

Principle leadership is excellent. For the principles to know the kids individually is a great feat. Teacher quality is very good. Most of the teachers are very involved in the individual child. Mrs. Runyon can make any child love math. She is very motivating. Team conferences are scheduled right away if there are any problems. Extra help is not only available but encouraged. Parent involvement is the key to a good foundation and encouraged by the teachers and principles. Safety and discipline is also very good. The doors are locked during the day and the staff is very watchful for any bulling or bad behavior and it is disciplined promptly. The best asset is Mrs. Dwight. She actively gets involved with all of her students to make sure they have the tools to become successful both in middle school and after. She is a very devoted and caring guidance councilor.

The teachers and guidance are wonderful..They are always available to either help your child or talk with you. There is before school, after school, study hall, specic days teachers stay, and they will arrange a special time to help your child if needed. Every teacher can be reached through e-mail or telephone. They respond every time. Anytime you need to speak with guidance, they are available. Any child, of any level, can get the help they need in this school. They have a term of art, music, computer, and computer tech. Each year. Wonderful and inexpensive intramural sports program. Five week programs that introduce your child to that sport. Cross country, basketball, baseball, volleyball, ski club, etc. Wide range of activities are available. Also, available, are all kinds of afterschool clubs, art, chess, spanish, french, etc. Wide range. I'm extremely pleased with the quality of education my child is receiving.

Many options for students. French offered to eighth graders this year. Many extracirricular activities, but there could be more. More discipline needed. Not much communication between faculty, and between faculty and parents.

I go to this school. It is a really good school except for the bullying and the disipline. I believe that there needs to be more disipline.
