Robert E. Melican Middle School

STUDENT 3: I believe that mms is an amazing school. My 6th grade year at melican was so amazing and they gave us so much time to get used to the new curricular and schedules because we had moved up from elementary school. Also, I had a lot of work to do on top of all the extracurricular activities i had going on, but I had a lot of help and support from all my teachers on the ORANGE team. I have almost finished my seventh grade year and I'm feeling so optimistic for my third term grades because my teachers have helped me improve my writing style, math skills, science skills and spanish speaking skills. Aside from these amazing experiences, one of the seventh grade social studies teacher always gives too much hw and never helps you with anything and talks about her students behind their backs. but other teachers always make up for it. The other teacher is amazing though. Also, the current music teacher always screaming and lectures us. I think that the old music teacher, who is on maternity leave and will return next year, is so good and i encourage you to join chorus because it helps with music grades and the play a lot. All the band teachers are great too. I hope this helps.

We found the administrative staff and the teachers to be very supportive. There was a quick response if there was a problem and we felt that the teachers and staff truly cared and went the extra mile. It's a very safe school. It could improve by being more academically challenging.

My child is just completing 8th grade at this school. He loved 6th grade. 7th grade was a nightmare and 8th grade was no better. The Principal/Assistant Principal want things run their way and they want parents who just keep their mouths shut and don't say anything and go along with what they are doing. Go to them with an issue and they usually chose to handle it by ignoring it and hoping it goes away. There are some amazingly wonderful teachers at this school (Mr. Olsen, Mrs. Angelo, Mrs. Peyev, Ms. Mariano, Mr. Geoffroy, Ms. Jones, Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Popolou) to name a few. However, there are many teachers who don't seem to care about the kids and quite frankly are there to work for 10 months so they can have the summer off. We were EXTREMELY disappointed with our 3 years there. However, if your child is an A+ student in every class.....the Principal will love them! Any student who is average and doesn't overachieve is treated differently!

My 2 kids went through this school and came out happy and were ready for High School. They also had friends from this school that stayed together thoughout the high school. This is the school that any parent would be happy and feel safe for their children.

The principal is terrible! They are very impatient! Except for some teachers such as Mr.Lincoln, he is a fantastic teacher!

Everything is great! Teachers and staff are amazing
